“So What” by Pink, is one of my new favorite songs. She was trying to relate, on a personal level, to her audience and it makes it so you can feel what she is going through. I think most people react the same way when they come out of a serious relationship, sad but pretending that they are fine and it meant nothing. Pink makes “So What” very relatable.
This song shows a vulnerable side to Pink that we don’t here in her other music. Mainly because it is about her split with her husband,
Carey Hart , but also because she shows that she misses him and she is sad. At the same time, this song keeps her edgy rocker involved. She even says “I am a rock star, I got my rock moves” and she certainly is and does.
The music video is also very fun. She is starting to go wild, including, burning her hair off, stripping in front of the paparazzi, attacking happy newlyweds. That is just some of the outrageous shenanigans she does in the video. I like that she has a sense of humor and can do crazy things to show millions of fans and people. This song definitely attracts new fans.
Even if this song wasn’t about her, I would still love it. It is sang well and a fun song. I love yelling “I am a rock star” whenever that part rolls around. “So What” is one of those songs that you want stuck in your head. I give this song and Pink two thumbs up.
