Last updated 25th Aug 2017
Hits Radio's evening show presenter Darryl Morris caught up with P!nk to talk about her new music, kids and most importantly her hair.
P!nk has been in the music industry for many years, signing her first record contract at the age of 16, with her first album coming out when she was 19. However P!nk joked about her success with Darryl saying, "it's been like a really long-standing joke, it's like the longest fluke in history".
When asked about her new single 'What About Us' the 37-year-old singer said it wasn't necessarily political, despite her being very politically active on Twitter.
"I don't like to tell people what songs are about," she said, "the interpretation of music is such a personal thing."
'What About Us' is P!nk's first solo track since last year and a follow-up to her collaboration with record producers Stargate and Australian singer Sia, 'Waterfall'. Following the lyric video last week, she dropped the music video for her new single this week, which you can watch in full below:
Her new song is featured on her upcoming album 'Beautiful Trauma', which will be the singer's first album in five years, after the taking some time out to have her second child with husband Carey Hart.
In the interview P!nk revealed that she thinks she embarrasses her daughter Willow saying, "I take action on it, I want to embarrass her. I come to her school with Rice Krispies treats and full make-up," admitting, "she's ashamed of me!"
Darryl also asked P!nk what it was like touring with her young children...
Everyone gets ill once in a while, but P!nk joked she thought she was about to die once when she want to see a dermatologist in the middle of the night. The 'So What' singer even wrote her Will on a napkin!

2002 was definitely the year for P!nk's hair, as we saw no less than eight different styles, she even made the brave transition from blonde to black hair which she showed off at the MTV VMAs and on her tour later in the year.

P!nk (2014)
2014 was a rare year without any P!nk songs in the charts, but it didn't mean she was out of the limelight. P!nk was pictured at Giorgio Armani's fashion show in Paris having once again grown out the sides of her mohawk.
