Un ritorno in grande stile per P!nk, che dopo aver ricevuto agli ultimi MTV VMA’s il “Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award” per i suoi 17 anni di carriera (per l’occasione ha tenuto un discorso commovente rivolto in primo luogo alla figlia e incentrato sull’importanza dell’autostima) si appresta a pubblicare il prossimo 13 ottobre il nuovo album Beautiful Trauma, anticipato dal singolo What About Us.
What About Us , uscito il 10 agosto in contemporanea mondiale, è salito subito alla #1 della classifica iTunes in 26 Paesi, nella Top 5 in 36 Paesi e nella Top 10 in 48. Rolling Stone USA ha così descritto il pezzo: “Un emozionante inno da dance floor”, mentre Billboard lo ha definito “un pezzo perfetto per questi tempi”. Il singolo conta ad oggi più di 30 milioni di stream su Spotify e più di 22 milioni di views su YouTube.
What About Us, il testo
We are searchlights, we can see in the dark
We are rockets, pointed up at the stars
We are billions of beautiful hearts
And you sold us down the river too far
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?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
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
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?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
Sticks and stones they may break these bones
But then I’ll be ready, are you ready?
It’s the start of us, waking up, come on
Are you ready? I’ll be ready
I don’t want control, I want to let go
Are you ready? I’ll be ready
Cause now it’s time to let them know
We are ready
What about…
What about us?
What about all the times you said you had the answers?
So what about us?
What about all the broken happy ever afters?
What about us?
What about all the plans that ended in disaster?
What about love? What about trust?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
