P!nk is back!

It has been five years since her last full length album called The Truth about Love (2012) but fans need not wait for much longer. Last Thursday, Pink announced she has a new album—Beautiful Trauma—coming this October 13 and at the same time, she dropped a single from said album titled What About Us? and critics are loving it.

Critics are calling the newly-released song as “political,” “empowering,” and a “plaintive, searching song” largely because of the lines below:

“What about us? / What about all the times you said you had the answers? / What about us? / What about all the broken happy ever afters?”

And:

“We are problems that want to be solved / We are children that need to be loved / We were willing, we came when you called / But man you fooled us, enough is enough”

Indeed, the song can be interpreted more as political rather than romantic. Do you agree? Anyway, I liked the song, and so did many others around the world apparently. What About Us? is currently at number 1 in the US, UK, and Australian iTunes Chart.

Listen to the entire song and watch the video below.

I am a fan of P!nk’s husky, powerful vocals and I particularly love her in Lady Marmalade (2001) and Get the Party Started (2001). My list is probably longer than that but when I hear or read about Pink, those two songs are always the first that comes to my mind.
