if u think i'm pretty

Artemas' "If U Think I'm Pretty" is a dark R&B fever dream laced with pulsating electronics. The lyrics? A hypnotic chant - "If you think I'm pretty, lay your hands on me" - that thrums with a dangerous allure. On the surface, it craves validation, a desperate plea for touch. Artemas acknowledges the toxicity, sings about how bad it is for them, yet can't resist the pull.

The London-based producer and artist Artemas - real name Artemis Diamandisco – co-created this track with his partner-in-crime, Toby Daintree. They conjured a soundscape driven by a heart-thumping bassline, creating an atmosphere both seductive and unsettling. There's a darkness that compels you to move even as it chills you to the bone.

Artemas released the song on October 23, 2023, as a single from his debut album, Pretty. "If U Think I'm Pretty" exploded on TikTok, with fans drawn to its dark charm and catchy sound. It cracked the UK Singles chart in March 2024.
