Slayyyter officially debuted in August 2018 with her first single, "BFF" featuring Ayesha Erotica, which she had contacted shortly after becoming a fan. Slayyyter first began teasing the song on her Instagram by sharing snippets and posting pictures captioned "BFF".
"BFF" was later released on August 6, 2018. Throughout the beginning of her career, she met producers such as Robokid, Boy Sim and Donatachi who were more known for their involvement in PC Music. She had also met artists such as That Kid, and Charli XCX whom she has both collaborated with. Slayyyter later released singles such as "Ghost", "I'm High" and "Platform Shoes" before finally announcing her first album-length project alongside the release of "Candy", stating that it would be the last single before the release of her debut mixtape. Despite this, she released the stand-alone single "Hello Kitty" to make up for a messy March release schedule.
She also later announced that she'd be working with producers such as Ayesha Erotica, Ghost Haus and Boy Sim. Despite her mixtape being aimed for release in November 2018, it was delayed and pushed back to 2019 after Slayyyter had private and personal information publicly leaked on the internet. Following the leak, Slayyyter released "Alone" and a holiday themed single, "All I Want for Xxxmas", which was released only days before Christmas.
In early 2019, Slayyyter announced her viral Valentine's Day single "Mine", which was reused in various Twitter memes to hype the upcoming single. Following its release, "Mine" reached #38 on the iTunes pop chart in the United States.
Months after the minor success of "Mine", Slayyyter had teased her upcoming single, "Daddy AF". After previously teasing snippets of the track and its music video, she officially released it along with its music video. It was her first ever single officially released under a label, and her most popular single to date. It was also her first ever high budget video, directed by Logan Fields.
After the success of "Daddy AF", Slayyyter released an official cover of Britney Spears' original song, "Everytime", which was a tribute to the ongoing #FREEBRITNEY movement.
In June 2019, Slayyyter began her first tour, titled The Mini Tour, supported by fellow collaborators Robokid, Boy Sim and That Kid. Shortly after, she released her second official cover, this time of Nelly's original song "Ride wit Me". Not long after, "Cha Ching" was released as the final single before her highly anticipated debut self-titled mixtape, Slayyyter would come out on September 17, 2019, the same day as her birthday.
After a period of silence and inactivity, Slayyyter teased and released a brand new single after months titled "Self Destruct (featuring Wuki) which signaled in a new musical era. Over the next months and into 2021, she would release new singles including "Throatzillaaa", "Troubled Paradise", and "Clouds", all of which would be included on her debut studio album, Troubled Paradise. Her debut studio album was eventually released on June 11, 2021.
SERIAL KILLER
slayyyter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder what you've been up to
You disappear almost every night, all night
I'm findin' blood on your clothes
Wonderin' where the hell you go
Baby, somethin' just ain't right, it ain't right
Don't wanna look for all the things that I'm afraid to find
When I get suspicion, intuition, I am always right
Why in the kitchen are we missin' all the sharpest knives?
You're a serial killer
Cuttin' girls up for dinner
You're a serial killer
Cuttin' girls up for dinner
You're a serial killer (you're a serial, serial killer)
Cuttin' girls up for dinner (cuttin' girls up for dinner)
You're a serial killer (you are a serial killer, baby)
Cuttin' girls up for dinner (oh, yeah)
(I don't want him to get lethal injection)
('Cause our love is my greatest obsession)
(But man of my dreams, he may kill me)
(Like, really kill me)
(And I know that if I stick around)
(I'll wind up like the girls in town)
(They'll find me ten feet underground)
(Right where he put me)
You're a serial killer (yeah, I know what you are)
Cuttin' girls up for dinner (and I know where you've been)
You're a serial killer (oh, and every single night it's the same thing)
You're a serial, a serial (ha-ha-ha)
You are a serial killer
You are a serial killer
You are a serial killer
You are a serial killer
Don't wanna look for all the things that I'm afraid to find
Who is the person I've been sleepin' next to every night?
When I get suspicion, intuition, I am always right
Why in the kitchen are we missin' all the sharpest knives?

Every time I look at you
Whenever I gaze upon your face
I wonder what you've been up to
I contemplate about your recent activities
You disappear almost every night, all night
You vanish nearly every evening and remain gone throughout
I'm findin' blood on your clothes
I discovered traces of bloodstains on your garments
Wonderin' where the hell you go
Questioning where on earth you venture off to
Baby, somethin' just ain't right, it ain't right
Darling, something is unquestionably amiss, it is not right
Don't wanna look for all the things that I'm afraid to find
I do not wish to seek out the things that I fear uncovering
Who is the person I've been layin' next to every night?
Who is the individual that I consistently share my bed with?
When I get suspicion, intuition, I am always right
Whenever I start to suspect, relying on my intuition, I am consistently correct
Why in the kitchen are we missin' all the sharpest knives?
For what reason are the sharpest knives absent from our kitchen?
You're a serial killer
You are an individual who repeatedly takes lives
Cuttin' girls up for dinner
Mutilating young women to consume them as nourishment
You are a serial killer, baby
You are undeniably a murderer, my dear
I don't want him to get lethal injection
I do not desire for him to be administered a fatal poison
'Cause our love is my greatest obsession
Because my infatuation for our love is fervent beyond measure
But man of my dreams, he may kill me
However, the man I fantasize about might end my life
Like, really kill me
Truly causing my demise
And I know that if I stick around
And I am aware that if I remain near
I'll wind up like the girls in town
I will meet the same fate as the other girls in this town
They'll find me ten feet underground
They will discover my lifeless body buried ten feet below the surface
Right where he put me
Precisely where he decided to place me
Yeah, I know what you are
Yes, I understand your true nature
And I know where you've been
And I am aware of your whereabouts
Oh, and every single night it's the same thing
Oh, and without fail, each and every night follows the same pattern
You are a serial killer
You unmistakably embody the characteristics of a repeated murderer
You are a serial killer
You undeniably are a perpetrator of multiple killings
You are a serial killer
You unquestionably possess the traits of a serial killer
You are a serial killer
You undoubtedly engage in a series of murders
Who is the person I've been sleepin' next to every night?
Who is the individual that shares my bed night after night?
When I get suspicion, intuition, I am always right
Whenever I experience doubt and rely on my gut feeling, I am invariably correct
Why in the kitchen are we missin' all the sharpest knives?
What is the reason behind the absence of the sharpest knives in our kitchen?

@GlobalDrag
I wish she would have gave this fan favorite gem the rightful single treatment it deserved. 😢 imo the perfect rollout for the “Troubled Paradise” Era singles would’ve been like this and could’ve told the overall story a little better since it is a concept album after all. ✨
(there were 6 singles with different colors representing them)
💙 1st Single: Clouds (Not feeling good enough and is having a lot of intrusive thoughts weighing her down) 💙
💜 2nd Single: Troubled Paradise (Being left alone after a bad breakup and then being replaced before she was ready to move on) 💜
❤️ 3rd Single: Self Distruct (Finally acknowledging it’s truly over and being angry about it) ❤️
💚 4th Single: Throatzillaa (Missing this person again and tries getting their attention again by reminding him what he’s missing) 💚
🧡 5th Single: Serial Killer (Realizes the guy she loved all this time was bad news all along and leaves him for good) 🧡
💛 6th Single: Over This! (She has moved on and is in a better place and now they suddenly want her back but she’s over it) 💛
@foxmutt420
The vocals are EVERYTHING. she sounds like she’s really getting into it and her voice is as smooth as butter
@wannamakeout2150
smooth like butter like a criminal undercover
@kirbyizlife
When I first listened to this song without really paying attention to the lyrics, I assumed the “you’re a serial killer” was a metaphor or something.
Turns out it’s literally about her suspecting her bf is an actual serial killer. Honestly we have no choice but to stan
@seanbrown2679
she had a video treatment planned for it, she said that the whole song she’s singing about suspecting her boyfriend is a serial killer, but in the end it’s her who’s the serial killer and she’s framing him
@jinjasdiorlocket
@Sean Brown OMG THAT WOULD BE FUCKING AMAZING (as a music video, not a real life story)
@imgay1448
I thought it was about her mans cheating 😟
@pol6575
@I'm gAY trust me.... it is
@karrujah
I believe that it is based in the movie Scream
@MjauNightcore
I think this is my favourite song from the album. All the songs are amazing, but I love this ambiance of this song in particular!
@kayleemoon._6045
Agreed
