"Just for Me" is a song by English singer PinkPantheress. Written alongside producer Mura Masa, it was released on 13 August 2021 through Parlophone and Elektra as the fourth single from her debut mixtape To Hell with It. Prior to being released, a snippet of the song posted to TikTok by PinkPantheress went viral on the platform. The bedroom pop, 2-step garage, and alternative pop song is a spiritual successor to PinkPantheress's song "Pain", and is written about her unhealthy obsession with a crush.
"Just for Me" received critical acclaim, and was named the best song of 2021 by The Fader, as well as one of the best songs of the year by Billboard, NPR, and Pitchfork. It peaked at number 27 on the UK Singles Chart and at number 49 on the Irish Singles Chart. A low resolution music video for the song, directed by PinkPantheress and Lauzza, was released on 9 September 2021, and depicts PinkPantheress singing to a crowd of depressed youths. "Just for Me" was sampled by Central Cee in his song "Obsessed with You", and covered by Giveon for BBC Radio 1Xtra's Live Lounge and by Coldplay for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. It was later nominated for the Best Album Ivor Novello Award in May 2022. [1]
