Nicknamed after the attire he became known for wearing in recording studios… Read Full Bio ↴Nicknamed after the attire he became known for wearing in recording studios, Pink Sweat$ is a singer and songwriter who favors R&B ballads consisting of only his voice and guitar. After writing material for other artists, he made his recorded debut in 2018 and has released projects like 2020's The Prelude with the intent of creating a lasting emotional connection with listeners.

A native of Philadelphia, David Bowden was musically inclined as a youngster. He learned to play drums and sang regularly. Raised in a religious household, he didn't get into secular music until his late teenage years, and eventually absorbed a wide breadth of genres. He got into the music industry as a demo vocalist and songwriter at Philly's historic Sigma Sound Studios. With no desire to become a recording artist himself, Bowden co-wrote material for the likes of Rosie Bondz, Natalie Imani, Aaron Camper (including the 2016 single "Guns and Roses"), and Tierra Whack (such as the 2017 single "Child Please" and 2018's "Pretty Ugly").

After surviving a severely debilitating three-year fight with a rare esophageal disorder, Bowden felt inspired to start keeping his songs to himself, and signed a digital distribution deal with Human Re Sources. He made his recorded debut as Pink Sweat$ in July 2018 with "Honesty" and "No Replacing You," a pair of heartfelt, unvarnished ballads that sharply contrasted with commercial R&B. Both songs appeared that November on Volume 1, his first EP. The similarly direct and brief Volume 2 arrived the following March. A steady stream of singles appeared over the next two years including the 2020 ballad "17" and the bouncy "Ride with Me." While he was issuing these singles and shorter projects, work was being done towards the release of his official debut studio album, Pink Planet. To satiate fans waiting for the LP's release, Pink Sweat$ offered up The Prelude in July 2020. A collection of select songs from the still-forming album, the EP was preceded by the pleading, passionate single "Not Alright" the previous month. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi

No Replacing You
Pink Sweat$ Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smoke in my lungs
I've got liquor on my breath
I know it ain't fair girl
When you need me I ain't there, no I ain't there

But when I'm at my lowest, I'll ride with you
Don't matter the problem it's always you
Give me no reason to question you

Give me no reason to question you

So when i'm in the hills, make sure I enjoy that view
When i'm counting dollar bills
You know know imma always split it with you
And I know that if I fall, you gon jump in too
I just know that if you go, ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

You say that i'm selfish, get it all off your chest
If we're being honest, without you i'm a mess
Cuz when i'm at my lowest, oh I run too
Don't matter the problem it's always you
Give me no reason to question you
Give me no reason to question you

So when i'm in the hills, make sure I enjoy that view
When i'm counting dollar bills
You know know imma always split it with you
And I know that if I fall, you gon jump in too
I just know that if you go, ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

Ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you
Ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pink Sweat$'s song "No Replacing You" depict a man who is aware of his faults and shortcomings but still deeply devoted to his partner. He acknowledges that he's not always there for her and he's made mistakes, but deep down he knows he would do anything for her. He admits that he's selfish, but it's only because he needs her so much. The chorus "And I know that if I fall, you gon jump in too, I just know that if you go, ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you" highlights his fear of losing her and how irreplaceable she is to him.

The first verse describes how he indulges in smoking and drinking, and understands that it's not fair to his partner. However, in the second verse, he encourages her to express her feelings, stating that without her, he's a mess. The song's central message is that while they might have their ups and downs, he knows that they are meant to be.

Give me no reason to question you
Give me no reason to question you

[Chorus]
So when i'm in the hills (when i'm in the hills)
Make sure I enjoy that view
When i'm counting dollar bills
You know know imma always split it with you
And I know that if I fall (fall), you gon' jump in too
Girl just know that if you go, ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

[Verse 2]
You say that i'm selfish, get it all off your chest

Smoke in my lungs

내 폐는 연기로 가득

I've got liquor on my breath

내 숨결에는 술 냄새가 나

I know it ain't fair girl

나도 이건 공평하지 않다는 걸 알아

When you need me I ain't there, no I ain't there

네가 날 필요로 할 때, 난 거기 없었어

But when I'm at my lowest, who I run to?

하지만 내가 우울해 있을 때면, 누구에게 달려가?

Don't matter the problem it's always you

어떤 상황이든 항상 너에게로 향했어

Give me no reason to question you

너가 아닌 이유를 찾을 수 없어

Give me no reason to question you

난 너를 믿어 의심치 않아

So when i'm in the hills (when i'm in the hills)

그러니 내가 저 언덕 위에 올라있을 때 (높이 올라갔을 때)

Make sure I enjoy that view

그 경치를 즐기게 해줘

When i'm counting dollar bills

내가 달러를 세고 있을 때

You know know imma always split it with you

항상 너와 나눌 걸 너도 알잖아

And I know that if I fall (fall), you gon' jump in too

그리고 내가 굴러떨어지면, 너도 함께 나락으로 몸을 던질 걸 알아

Girl just know that if you go, ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

이건 알아둬, 너가 떠난다면, 널 대신할 사람은 없어, 널 대신할 순 없어

You say that i'm selfish, get it all off your chest

넌 내가 이기적이라고 말해, 그냥 솔직하게 말해

If we're being honest, without you i'm a mess

우리가 숨김없이 솔직하다면, 너 없는 나는 정말 망가질 거야

Cuz when i'm at my lowest, oh I run too

왜냐면 난 지금 밑바닥에 있어, 나도 애쓰고 있어

Don't matter the problem it's always you

어떤 문제든, 난 언제나 너에게로 갔어

Give me no reason to question you

내 마음을 의심할 필요도 없어

Give me no reason to question you

너에 대해 더 이상 물을 것도 없어

So when i'm in the hills, make sure I enjoy that view

그러니 내가 저 높은 곳에 오르면, 그 경관을 즐기게 내버려 둬

When i'm counting dollar bills

내가 한 장 한 장 지폐를 셀 때

You know know imma always split it with you

결국 너랑 함께 나눌 걸 알고 있잖아

And I know that if I fall, you gon jump in too

그리고 내가 추락할 때, 너도 함께 뛸 걸 알아

Girl just know that if you go, ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

이건 알아둬, 너가 떠난다면, 그 빈자리를 채우지 않을 거야, 채우지 못해

Ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

널 대신할 수 있는 건 없어, 널 대신하지 못해

Ain't no replacing, ain't no replacing you

널 대신할 수 있는 건 없어, 널 대신하지 못해
