Pink’s Vegas Inspiration

Pink was inspired by Las Vegas to write "Walk of Shame."

The 33-year-old singer was prompted to write a song about people making their way home in the previous night's clothes following a night of revelry after a phone call from her husband, Carey Hart while he was in the American gambling capital.

"I remember him calling me from the diner in the Hard Rock, because he has business in the Hard Rock [hotel], at eight o'clock in the morning. And he was narrating for me the continuous walk of shame he'd see out of the casino, because that's just a constant in Vegas. Can you imagine being a diner employee in the mornings and the s**t you'd get to see? The shame walk back to your cab, and I just think it's funny 'cos we've all done it, and I just thought it'd be a hilarious video. It's nothing really that deep, just the regret the morning after."

Pink Wrote a Song About Butter

Pink wrote a song about an argument over butter. The singer explained how "Just Give Me a Reason" on her new album, The Truth About Love, is inspired by the small signals a person can give when a relationship is breaking down.

"Sometimes [one partner] can be like, 'The way you passed me the butter this morning, I kinda feel like we're going to be over in a month and we need to talk' and he's like, 'I just passed you the f***ing butter, what are you talking about?' and that's how I felt the song should go, 'We're growing apart, you don't spoon any more, like it's all over.'"

Pink - who is happily married to motorcyclist Carey Hart - wrote the track with Nate Ruess from the band Fun and decided it should be a duet, but had to trick him into singing it. "I was like, 'No, this is a story, this is a conversation this song' - it needs the other perspective whether it's a guy and a girl, or two girls or two guys. I came in and tried to convince him that this was how the conversation was going to go and it was interesting you know, he was like 'I'll just do the demo cos I don't know about duets,' and I totally tricked him into doing it, and I am so glad I was able to. I think now he's very happy that he did it, I think it's a beautiful song and I'm really, really proud of it," she added.

Pink to Set Herself on Fire For Tour

Pink may set herself on fire for her next tour.

The "F***in' Perfect" singer is planning a spectacular stage show in support of her forthcoming album, The Truth About Love, but knows she will have to do something pretty drastic if she's going to upstage 2010s Funhouse Summer Carnival Tour.

"Yeah man I've gotta step it up, I'm competing with myself. I was thinking about lighting myself on fire, I've actually been doing some research and I've been going to a lot of Las Vegas shows, I'm going to bring it this time," she said in an interview recently.

Pink has also recently explained how her sixth album will explore the concept of love from all of its different perspectives: "I'm excited. I think the songs are elevated and smart and fun. The motivation for this album is love and all of the different shades of it - dark, light, happy, sad, what love can motivate you to do, just all of it. Just exploring how much it can hurt and how much it can feel good. It's not cheesy."

The Truth About Love will be released on September 18, preceded by a single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."
