101 Lyrics – Kim Petras | from “Detour”

Teased on X back on March 24, 2025, with that cryptic snippet overlay, “101” (fan-dubbed “1” or “No 1”) has been Kim’s little secret weapon, popping up in her Insta stories for years as the ultimate vibe-check. Produced by Kim herself alongside Frost Children—the duo behind her glitchy magic on tracks like “Alone”—it’s got that bubbly, insistent bounce straight out of Gwen Stefani’s 2006 playbook with “Yummy,” but cranked to Kim’s chaotic frequency: shimmering synths that fizz like champagne, punchy drums kicking like soccer balls, and those looped “one up” hooks that demand a rewind.

Thematically, it’s peak Petras pettiness—dishing on stealing spots, clocking haters, and owning your image so hard it leaves boyfriends busted and pumpkins shook. Lines like “Your boyfriend bust a lot when I walk it in the outfit in the parking lot” are pure parking-lot poetry, blending bratty confidence with that undercurrent of triumphant glow-up, all wrapped in hyperpop’s warped, delicious edge. No full release yet, but with Frost Children’s glitch-glam fingerprints, it’s shaping up as the album’s cheeky opener, teasing the kind of club-ready disruption that makes you feel invincible.

Detour itself? It’s Kim’s full-circle moment, self-released after ditching Republic for total creative reins, rumored to drop any day now in early 2026—think January heat, per the wiki whispers and her New Year’s Eve IG bombshell calling it “finally HERE.” The rollout’s been a delicious tease: singles like the sultry “Polo” in June ’25, the pre-save frenzy for “I Like Ur Look” last fall, and now this tracklist leak lighting up Reddit—101 kicking off with “Bitch Ball Out,” “Certified Banger” ft. Porches, “IDK WHERE THESE,” and more unconfirmed gems that scream eclectic pop chaos. No rigid concept dropped, but from her chats, it’s two scrapped albums’ worth of evolution: one ’80s fever dream, another grunge-tinged, boiled down to visuals-first, edge-your-seat anthems that reclaim her narrative post-Feed The Beast’s 2023 heartbreak. Clocking around 12-14 tracks, it’s got that Petras polish—queer-coded, sexually charged, and unfiltered—promising collabs and sonics that blur bubbly with brutal.

Kim’s owning 2026 like it’s hers to blueprint, fresh off Grammy nods, that MISTR sexual health partnership ringing in the year, and festival slots that had TikTok feral. The German pop pixie turned LA icon is ditching limbo for legacy, Frost Children in tow, turning teases into takedowns that hit different after years of label wars. It’s her saying, “Watch me walk it”—and damn, we are.
