The last few years have been incredible for P!NK. She released her ninth studio album 'Trustfall' (along with a deluxe edition), went on an epic worldwide 'Summer Carnival 2023' tour, and in 2024... She did it all again, going on her 'Summer Carnival 2024 Tour'. To celebrate the force that is P!NK, take a look at which of her songs are the most popular according to their YouTube views...

P!nk revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that there was a heartbreaking inspiration behind her song 'Who Knew'. Explaining the reason, she told Kelly: "I lost several friends, unfortunately, to overdose, and the second one was very, very, very close to me, and I loved him very much."
Her friend Sekou died when they were just teenagers, and she went on to say: "But the thing that I love about the song now, after all these years, is that I never get tired of performing it, and it's taken on so many different meanings over the years.
"It was about my grandmother at one point. It was about my dog. I've lost people, so it's always sort of fresh in my heart."
10) 'Just Like A Pill'
'Just Like A Pill' appeared on P!nk's second album 'Missundaztood', as her breakthrough record which was released in 2002. It peaked at Number 1 in the UK and is certified Platinum - and it's had over 193 million views on YouTube.

13) 'Sober'
P!nk's Top 10 hit from 2008, 'Sober', is about not resorting to drink or drugs, but the desire to still be uninhibited. According to Songfacts, in an interview with MTV she said: "I wrote a song called 'Sober,' which is actually really dark.
"I was at a party at my own house, I didn't want to be there, I didn't want anyone else there. And I had this line in my head saying, 'How do I feel this good sober?,' it's not just about alcohol, it's about vices, we all have different ones.
"We try to get away from ourselves, and find our 'true selves' and then we do these things that take us so far from the truth, I guess that 'Sober' is 'How do I feel this good when it's just me, without anything to lean on?"
This music video has now had 168 million views.
14) 'True Love' featuring Lily Allen
P!nk teamed up with British singer Lily Allen on this 2013 hit. 'True Love' featured on P!nk's sixth album 'The Truth About Love', released the previous year, and was written by the both singers along with producer Greg Kurstin.
To date, the music video has 163 million views on YouTube. Despite its success in the charts and on YouTube, the song is one of P!nk's least favourites!
15) 'Walk Me Home'
'Walk Me Home' was released in February 2019 as the lead single from P!nk's eighth album 'Hurts 2B Human'. Although he didn't perform on the song, P!nk teamed up with Fun's Nate Ruess once again, who co-wrote the song. It broke into the Top 10 in the UK and is certified 2x Platinum, and has had over 139 million views on YouTube.
16) 'Don't Let Me Get Me'
Released in February 2002, 'Don't Let Me Get Me' was another hit single from P!NK's breakthrough album 'Missundaztood'. To date, it's had 136 million YouTube views, with the music video portraying P!NK as a school pupil and not conforming to her peers' expectations, later going through the same scenario when trying to make it as an artist.
Along with the YouTube views, it was certified Gold by the BPI in June 2024 - so it's a pretty enduring track!
Similarly, the song is also about P!NK not conforming to what record labels in the early Noughties wanted her to be, which can be heard in the lyrics: 'Tired of being compared / To damn Britney Spears / She’s so pretty / That just ain’t me.'
