About this song
The Pink Phantom is the eighth single from Gorillaz' album Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez. It features Elton John and 6LACK.
What it's about
The song details a failed relationship, in which the narrator showered a former partner with gifts and affection before being left with a broken heart. Despite trying to move on, the narrator still sometimes sees that person, and the lyrics about a phantom coming can also be read as death approaching, hinting at suicidal pain.
