Paris Hilton’s Top 10 songs:
In the lead up to the premiere of The Simple Life & Death, a brand-new murder mystery centred about iconic duo Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, the show’s creators ShayShay and Fizz Sinclair are counting down their Top 10 favourite Paris Hilton songs.
10. Zydrate Anatomy (2008)
Paris’ acting resume may be short but it’s damn iconic. 2005’s House of Wax sees Paris as a college student running for her life in a haunted wax museum.
And in Repo: The Genetic Opera (2008) Paris takes in her most transformative role: a brunette!
9. ADHD (2024)
Paris Hilton has become increasingly vocal about her ADHD advocacy in recent years, using her platform to share her own experiences and raise awareness about the condition.
8. Turn It Up (2006)
Turn It Up walked so that “A Little Bit Alexis” could run.
As the opening track of Paris’ debut album, this song was her introduction to the world as a recording artist. Her musical thesis statement. So naturally it starts with a sexy whisper of Paris’ primary catch phrase “that’s hot”.
7. Good Time featuring Lil Wayne (2013)
Long before Paris became the highest paid DJ in the world, she was dabbling in dance music. This song sounds so 2014, from the EDM drop to the Lil Wayne guest verse. Its sound hasn’t stood the test of time, but it does highlight a pivotal shift and Paris turned toward club-oriented music.
6. I Blame You (2020)
Released in 2020 and sounds so incredibly of the time. It’s a crying shame the clubs were closed when this was released because I guarantee the circuit gays would’ve been two-steping to this electro banger.
5. Infinity (2024)
Paris’ album Infinite Icon fuses her DJ prowess and her signature vocal-fry speak-singing, and perfectly crafted dance-pop songs. “Infinity” slots perfectly into Paris’ entire ethos of everlasting youth and love. In a 2013 interview, Wendy Williams asked Paris if she was 33. She snapped back immediately with, “21 forever”.
4.Nothing In This world (2006)
The video follows the story of a bullied teen boy whose room is plastered in Paris posters. He fantasises about her constantly as bullies torment him. But his luck switches who should move in next door, but Paris herself! The music video, which presents itself as a film trailer, poses Paris as the ultimate girl next door, ally to the outsiders, a true queen of the people.
3. Without Love featuring Maria Becerra (2024)
Paris proves herself quite the international queen, teaming up with Argentine singer Maria Becerra on what is perhaps the danciest track from “Infinite Icon”
We’d love to be in the crowd for a Paris Hilton DJ set and accuse her of faking it just to hear her clapback, “This is dedicated to the two haters at the front holding signs up saying I’m not playing live, ’cause honey, yes I fucking am. Sorry I’m a girl, I’m hot, I’m blonde. We can do everything. Go hate on someone else. Jelly.”
2. BBA featuring Megan Thee Stallion (2024)
A.K.A “Bad Bitch Academy” is the biggest banger from Paris’ Infinite Album featuring fellow bad bitch Megan Thee Stallion.
In the lyrics, Professor Paris directs you on how to be a bad bitch, which includes some very responsible advice, such as, “don’t go home with no creeps ’cause when it’s 7 a.m., go home, go to sleep.” When the ultimate party princess commands you to, “stick with your girls ’til we rinse and repeat”, you better stick with your girls.
Honorary mention in Paris Hilton’s Top 10 Songs: Sanasa
Though not a recorded song, barely a song at all, the nonsense word “sanasa” was sung by Paris and Nicole incessantly during their time on The Simple Life. The besties concocted this word as children. Decades later, they are still trilling out this silly little confluence of sounds, much to the annoyance of disbelievers but to the delight of those in the know.So it deserves a mention in our list of Top 10 Paris Hilton Songs
1. Stars are Blind (2006)
Her debut single and biggest hit, Stars Are Blind, was such an out-of-the blue smash! A reggae influenced pop song released by the most infamous socialite turned out to be an unstoppable hit and enduring pop classic.
Also, we must shoutout to the Kim Petras remix (2023). You gotta love seeing Paris link up with a trans icon.
Come deep dive into the lore of Paris and Nicole at The Simple Life & Death… and with Paris Hilton’s stamp of approval (yes, really), audiences can expect a host of exciting ‘celebrity’ guests: the secrets will be out at the live show!
