This is pretty generic but I really like her and it's not terrible so I could see it doing well.

This sounds pretty average at best. Better than "True Love" but worse than "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)", "Try", and "Just Give Me a Reason."

I am here for the day CHR ties her to an anvil and throws her overboard, but this particular song sounds like it could go either way. If your playlist needs basic, unimpressive filler that's kinda catchy, there's this. But you don't have to take it. She's kinda like Bruno Mars for me. Non-offensive simple pop songs sung by someone with a good voice and all, but a channel changer regardless. Tho I've heard Good Time at my job twice in this past week and that was an awesome song for her. I just don't like JGMAR Pink. Yuck.

Generic, but that hasn't stopped her from getting hits.

I'm hooked, and I don't care how generic this is. I can't wait for her next album.

HUGE P!nk here.
The verses are less than great (especially the first one), the chorus/hook is pretty good, the bridge is completely different for her, and very fun and well executed.

While P!nk's music has always been a cut above, I don't think it will burn up Pop radio. It will get some traction sort of like Shakira's TE because of movie. This could've been a track on TL, but not the stellar FH album. I'm just glad we have something new.

I really like this, it's very catchy! It's on iTunes, by the way: Just Like Fire (From "Alice Through the Looking Glass") - Single by P!NK itun.es/us/asIRbb

Looks like this has an every-other-hourly deal on iHeart pop stations.

I can't believe this is something they're pushing as a semi-lead single. Very bland and lacking the power of her standard pop stuff. Even Blow Me had an intensity that elevated it above average.

Lol @ ppl thinking pop will just drop her. Anyways, there is obviously a want from the public. The song is already almost top 10 on itunes. Sure it might fall quick, but a lot of soundtrack singles don't even go this high on day 1 launch.

Try > Just Give Me a Reason > Just Like Fire > True Love I did really like True Love, though, so its placement isn't a bad thing. It's not her best, but it is still really good The instrumental at times (specifically the chorus) reminds me of Bad Blood

I'm rather indifferent to the song though.

Quite like it, hope it's a big hit, love P!nk. Great to have her back on the music scene, fingers crossed she'll be releasing a new album soon.

The last Alice in Wonderland soundtrack had that Avril Lavigne song as the lead single, so this is actually a much better lead single.

After a few listens, I'm addicted. Can see this blowing up, especially with the release of the movie in May - should provide it a nice boost then.
#10 on US iTunes now!

Oh I thought they were positioning this as a cross-push to lead into Pink's next album as well. Like a buzz single lead-in to the lead. I could be wrong though.

I can only see that happening if this performs like Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway" or Ellie's "Love Me Like You Do".

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.

The usual suspects are there, but add to the mix some country producers and a song written with Sia called "Casualty". iTunes update: #1 Australia #7 Ireland #8 Canada #8 US #9 Sweden #11 UK #11 Germany #11 Norway #12 Brazil #13 South Africa #13 Switzerland #15 Netherlands #21 New Zealand #33 Russia #40 France #40 Italy #41 Turkey #54 Spain

Kinda reminds me of "Rock N Roll" by Avril Lavigne a bit too.

I hope this grows on me. Glad to see the Top 10 placement in US on launch day. I ALWAYS want P!NK to do well. It's hard to believe that TYG was released 17 years ago! And IND was released 10 years ago this month.

Top 10 in all her big markets: US, UK, Aus, Germany and Canada. Let's see how she fares on Spotify but I totally expected her to fly under the radar this time. Glad to see her audience showing up.
