Illegal Song Lyrics in English
My name is pink and i’m really glad to meet
You’re recommended to me by some people
Hey! Ouuuuu — is this illegal?
Hey! Ouuuuu — it feels illegal?
I’ve suffered quite a few times with paranoia
Oh, what’s your name? I don’t know what I should call ya
Hey! Ouuuuu — here’s 20 for ya
Hey! Ouuuuu — we’re getting high around the corner (wow)
One after one, now you’re sitting on my bed
Then later on, we can talk all night instead
Two into one while you’re sitting on my bed
Then later on, I can feel shame in my head
We’ll meet again when my head works like it used to
And maybe next time, I’ll tell my girl come through
I like the fact that we don’t communicate
As long as you don’t tell all your best mates
One after one, now you’re sitting on my bed
Then later, we can talk on it instead
Two into one while you’re sitting on my bed
Then later on, I can feel shame in my head
One after one, now you’re— (now you’re, now you’re, now you’re)
And now you’re sitting on my bed
Two into one while you’re sitting on my bed
Then later on, I can feel shame in my head
My name is Pink, and I’m really glad to meet you
You’re recommended to me by some people
I think I smoked enough loud to reach the both of us
But tell me — why’s my heartbeat in a rush?
Hey! Ouuuuuu — is this illegal?
Hey! Ouuuuuu — it feels illegal?
Wow

Song Background
“Illegal” explores themes of secrecy, emotional detachment, and fleeting intimacy. The opening line—“My name is Pink and I’m really glad to meet you”—sets a tone of ironic warmth. The song was teased on TikTok and SoundCloud before its official release, sampling Underworld’s 1994 track Dark & Long (Dark Train). It’s described by PinkPantheress as a “weed diss track,” though its layered meaning also touches on the use of male escorts and emotional vulnerability.
