Hear Pink’s Rousing New Song ‘Whatever You Want’
Pink released an uplifting power ballad on Thursday and announced plans for the Beautiful Trauma World Tour, which will take her around the U.S. and Canada in support of her upcoming Beautiful Trauma album.
“Whatever You Want” is a celebration of romantic resilience. “I feel like our ship’s going down tonight,” Pink sings. “But it’s always darkest before the light/ And that’s enough for me to try.” Behind her, strings swell grandly and ringing guitars signal renewed commitment.
“Whatever You Want” will appear on Beautiful Trauma, Pink’s seventh studio LP. “There was no other goal than to not have an album full of slow, sad songs, because that’s all I had for a while,” the singer told EW. “And I just wanted to record better than I have before.”
Following the record’s release, Pink will embark on a lengthy 40-date tour that begins in Phoenix in March of 2018. The singer performs throughout April and May before wrapping up with a pair of shows in Los Angeles. Bleachers will serve as her support on several dates; Bleachers’ lead singer Jack Antonoff also helped craft the title track of Pink’s new album. “He’s so lovable,” Pink said. “I thought we might have fun together, and I was right.”
To coincide with the new album, Pink will also appear on On the Record: P!nk — Beautiful Trauma, a short film from Apple Music available October 13th. The singer unveiled a preview of the film with a clip of her performance of “Whatever You Want.”
