Got a laptop and an idea? Then there’s nothing stopping you from becoming an award-winning producer. This year’s BRITs Producer of the Year, PinkPantheress, has shared her creative process when creating 2025 single Tonight – and she just used Logic Pro and a standard QWERTY keyboard.

That’s right. PinkPantheress – real name Victoria Beverley Walker – didn’t hook up a MIDI keyboard or any fancy plugins, just Logic’s Musical Typing option to create the track’s now-iconic chord progression. And even her use of Logic is fancy for her – she was previously crowned Billboard’s Producer of the Year in 2024, when she was still just using GarageBand.

The Bath born songwriter and producer shares the process behind the making of Tonight, the lead single from her 2025 mixtape, Fancy That, in a new video. In the video, she explains: “The first thing I start off with is figuring out the chords like this… as you can see, I put them in manually”.

She then adds how “MIDI controllers can be expensive! Inputting [chords] into whatever software you use works just as well”.

The artist also explains that the track’s bassline was put together by tapping out the chords on her laptop.

In the past, PinkPantheress also shared her process working on GarageBand for her Central Cee collaboration, Nice To Meet You. In a TikTok video, she flicked between her old reliable GarageBand and Logic Pro, as she was just in the transition phase to the more up-market software.

But that doesn’t mean she’s ever forgotten her GarageBand roots – when she received her first nod of production recognition as Billboard’s Producer of the Year, she shared a tweet simply reading “love you GarageBand”.
