P!nk has opened up about the songs from her catalogue she wishes had never happened.
Since launching into the charts in 2000, the US star has released nine albums, with her latest, ‘Trustfall’, arriving earlier this year and topping the UK charts.
While there have been hits aplenty, the singer-songwriter isn’t a fan of all of her releases, singling out 2013’s True Love as one such example.
Of the track, which features the lyrics, ‘Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say/ Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face/ There’s no one quite like you, you push all my buttons down/ I know life would suck without you’, she explains: “Because it’s mean. Carey’s [Hart, husband] got thick skin, but I owe him a love song.”
Another track she’d rather forget is We’ve Got Scurvy from the 2009 ‘SpongeBob’s Greatest Hits’ album, in which she sings, ‘Our gums are black, our teeth are falling out/ We’ve got spots on our backs, so give it up and shout/ We’ve got scurvy, we need some vitamin C/ We’ve got scurvy, we need a lemon tree’.
“I wish I never did that,” she added in a new Los Angeles Times interview. “That was a real mistake.”
Reflecting on her success as she wraps her ‘Summer Carnival’ run of shows, P!nk told the title she believes she’s better on stage than she is in the studio, admitting: “Because live is messy. It’s life, it’s gritty, it’s authentic — it’s unrehearsed.
“I mean, we rehearse to a certain extent for safety. But you never know what’s gonna happen. And I’m never in my head. The second I step onstage, I’m in my heart, I’m in my body. There’s no other place that I operate — as a Virgo, as a mother, as the most responsible person I know — like the stage. It’s where I live.”
