It's catchy and safe, which works well for the soundtrack. I just hope she doesn't stick with this sound for her next album. You know it will. If you want something different listen to You+Me I still live for that album. I hope we get another from them in a few years, although I wouldn't be too mad if this was a one-time-only piece of mastery.

I like it. It's not great by any means, but anyone expecting much more than her song for Ellen or Avril Lavigne's "Alice" was kidding themselves.

I can't decide if this is too vanilla or I love it. Definitely not as good as So What, You + Ur Hand, Perfect, or any other Max/Pink song, but it's alright.

Great start. Is that a radio deal?

Yes, it was a radio deal. I think someone said it was an every-other-hour deal? That would account for why it didn't pull 1300~ first-day spins like the last few radio deal launches (Meghan/Ariana/5H).

Love me some Alecia, but this does sound like the "typical" P!nk single. Not that it's bad, but I'd like to hear something a bit different from her as a solo performer.

This is pretty safe, but IMO it's a nice change of pace from her last lead singles. I felt like So What/Raise Your Glass/Blow Me One Last Kiss etc were all pretty much the same song.

Surprised I haven't heard this on the radio yet, but I just heard So What. The guitar in this reminds me of We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and Ghost Town

Yup, Hot AC was every hour + Pop was every other hour I think that validates what I suggested the other day - At almost 37, P!nk is going to fight harder to get Pop on board. She's definitely got plenty of stock at HAC.

...no it doesn't. It literally means iHeartMedia opted not to play the song every hour on their pop stations. Pink's age has jack with a side of squat to do with it, and what happened on just one day of airplay does not dictate what will happen in the days to come.

This sounds like it would have been a deluxe track from All I Ever Wanted (minus the little rap breakdown). That's not a dig, I guess I had just forgotten for a minute how closely their sounds tracked each other sometimes.
The iTunes showing is really nice to see - regardless of what this does on pop, P!nk clearly still has a good bit of selling power to her name.

Great to see her iTunes support! It's ok to me, nothing I'm super excited about, but nothing bad either, just too safe probably In terms of other three mentioned singles, to me: so what > blow me > raise your glass > just like fire

I was here for it until that bridge... P!nk, gurl... this is generic as fuck.
(I'll be back in 2 weeks to report that this has grown on me somehow.)

I like it. Nothing amazing but I'll take an "average" P!nk song anyday over most of what's on Top 40 currently.

Surprised no one has mentioned Roar as its big sister yet. They even share awfully similar adlibs during their choruses.

Wow, P!NK is already Top 40? This is doing really great for a soundtrack single. #6 on iTunes and Top 40 on CHR. Damn.

I agree with most of the responses here - good song just very generic pop. I like Pink a lot but would love to see her change it up a bit finally.
