"Mosquito" is a song by English singer PinkPantheress. It was released on 29 September 2023 through Warner Records UK as the lead single from her upcoming debut studio album Heaven Knows.
Background and composition
The track was co-written and produced by Greg Kurstin and leans into "noughties R&B" for what PinkPantheress called her "favourite song". It was first teased on the video-sharing platform TikTok on 12 June 2022 with a heavier drum and bass sound and later again on 12 October 2022 with lighter vocals accompanied by a bossa nova style production. The final song sees the singer laying vocals over a "drum and bass beat" and combines it with a "colourful noughties R&B aesthetic". Her voice was described as "understated" and classy, while the production takes a more "club-focussed" approach.
Music video
An accompanying music video, directed by Sophie Muller, depicts PinkPantheress and her friends going on a shopping spree, starring actresses Charithra Chandran, India Amarteifio, and Yara Shahidi.
