What’s your favorite color? We know ours! Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we’ll be counting down our picks for the Top 10 Pink Songs.
For this list, we’ve chosen our entries based on a combination of the artist’s fan favorites and their most commercially successful songs.
#10: “Just Like a Pill”
Missundaztood (2001)
Written by Pink and Dallas Austin, this song is dark in nature, however the chorus will have you jumpin’ around. Early on, “Just Like a Pill” hints toward the singer’s possible problems with drugs, while also discussing a lost love, but her energy suddenly picks up as she transitions into the fist-pumping chorus. Alecia Moore aka Pink took on a different do’ for the music video, while critics praised her edgy new sound. The song has also been covered by the likes of Teagan and Sara and Cascada, demonstrating Pink’s major influence on the pop genre.
#9: “Sober”
Funhouse (2008)
Our first entry had Pink lying on the floor and sick in love, but in this introspective jam, she’s so fresh and so clean. After conveying her anxiety of being known as a 4 AM booty call, Pink looks deep inside and reflects on the strange sensation of pure happiness. With the slow-moving “Sober,” the punk’d out pop star addresses the idea that one can still party hard without dumping liters of booze into their body. We guess she felt pretty good after receiving a Grammy nomination for the track.
#8: “Stupid Girls”
I’m Not Dead (2006)
With a razor-sharp attack on numerous female Hollywood celebrities, Pink naturally found herself back in the spotlight after the release of this funky single. After all, the singer has maintained a rather impressive, natural look over the years, so with the arrival of a TMZ-world that highlighted ridiculous behavior, Pink called out society’s increasing fascination with posers and sex tape superstars. Celebrities like Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton were called out in the music video, as Pink smiled away and hilariously mocked superficial behavior. Do NOT piss this girl off.
#7: “Please Don’t Leave Me”
Funhouse (2008)
Raspier than ever, Pink debates reflects on her bad influence boyfriend in this gentle track about self-destructive tendencies and a fed-up lover. Pink comes to grip with personal demons in “Please Don’t Love Me,” as she references her “perfect little punching bag” in the lyrics. The darkly comedic music video starred Blake Lively’s brother Eric and spoofed the most famous scene of Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining.” Pink simply killed it with this one. No pun intended.
#6: “Try”
The Truth About Love (2012)
With this inspirational single, Pink not only reached the top of the charts but completely stunned social media with a standout performance at the 2012 American Music Awards. At the time of release, Pinkwas a polished veteran of the music industry, and lyrics of a turbulent romance became even more potent through a colorful, dance music video and her can’t-miss live performances. Always an evolving artist, Pink once again re-invented herself and produced a contemporary hit that any listener could relate to.
#5: “Raise Your Glass”
Greatest Hits...So Far!!! (2010)
All the dirty little freaks of the world rejoiced when this party anthem hit the radio in 2010. “Raise Your Glass” was released 10 years after Pink burst onto the music scene, and it’s underdog-friendly lyrics reference party crashers, party snatchers and the horror of having an empty cup. Complimented by the singer’s extraordinary live productions, this song became an international hit and kicked off the second decade of Pink’s accomplished career. Even television shows like “Glee” and “General Hospital” showed some love to the extraordinary track.
#4: “Just Give Me a Reason” feat. Nate Ruess
The Truth About Love (2012)
Destined to become a #1 hit, this conversational pop ballad featured a collaboration with Fun.’s Nate Reuss. Just give me a reason NOT to like this song, Mojoholics – it’s got everything. Drama. An unforgettable chorus. A literal water bed. Plus, the elegant lyrics of “Just Give Me a Reason” serve as the perfect backdrop for taking one more leap into a broken romance. It’s one of the most successful songs of Pink’s vast catalogue and has been featured on both NBC’s “The Voice” and the FOX hit “Glee.”
#3: “F*ckin’ Perfect”
Greatest Hits...So Far!!! (2010)
Edgy, inspirational and unforgettable, Pink explored dark territory with this first single from her “Greatest Hits…So Far!!!” album. The lyrical content challenges society’s perception of physical and emotional beauty, while the controversial music video tackled heavy issues that affect today’s youth. By addressing relevant topics and infusing her usual flair, Pink created a song that was just “F*ckin’ Perfect.” It has been covered by musical artists ranging from Kelly Clarkson to country star Martina McBride, while Pink herself earned yet another Grammy Award nomination for the timely hit.
#2: “Get the Party Started”
M!ssundaztood (2001)
Released ahead of the album where it is found, this dance song was surprisingly written by Linda Perry, the former lead singer of 4 Non Blondes. As you might imagine, “Get the Party Started” explores pre-party antics as Pink makes her way through the west side and prepares to thoroughly light up the boulevard. This catchy tune was found on the pop star’s second album while the music video highlights the masterful dance skills of one Kevin Federline aka the future husband of Britney Spears.

I’m Not Dead (2006)

#1: “So What”
Funhouse (2008)
Shortly after her separation from Carey Hart, Pink released a song addressing the crumbling romance and even featured her ex-flame IN the music video. If you know someone unfamiliar with the music ofPink, well, this would be the song to play for them, as it’s a perfect mixture of Pink’s talented vocals and her signature comedic touch that made the performer a star. Lyrically, Pink shrugs off any sign of her ex-lover and discusses how she is better off without him. In the end, Pink had the last laugh, as the track became her second single to hit number one on the Hot 100.
