Released on Monday, Sep 29 2008

Specifically, it's a brash, childish, defiant and rather tongue-in-cheek break-up song. It's also a break-up song that lots of people will be singing along to, thanks to a typically stonking pop/rock chorus courtesy of Max Martin. But Pink's brilliance here shouldn't be underestimated. Who else would think to do something like this? Who else could pull it off? And who else could persuade the ex-hubby she calls a "tool" on the chorus to appear in the video?

Zanne, London on November 1st, 2008 Love the song, love the video BUT can anybody please tell me who the guy in the video is? The one whose forehead Pink signs?!?!? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i want to know too !
Yes, I definitely hear the Ethio sound in this song. That's what makes it so appealing to me. I t may be the best of her songs.
Terrible Song. Gawd knows how it got to number one!! I like Pink as a singer but that song is just...awful!
God awful. Honestly, if writing the lyrics to this song took any longer than 80 seconds i'd truly be suprised. Pink has an amazing voice, and great songs. "So What" is lazy, slapped together garbage that she should (and probably is) embarassed for releasing as it is. "the waitor just took my taaa-ble and gave it to jessica simmmpson"...they sould come clean and admit that a three year old wrote this for them. Just goes to show that some atrists can metaphorically crap in a paper bag and the masses will eat it up like belgian waffles. Truly, truly terrible.
I wasn't previously a Pink fan, but I am a world music fan, and there is DEFINITELY a strong Ethiopian vibe in this song. This is the first time I've heard an Ethiopian tune woven into American pop music, and I love it.
i luv pink shes so cool i luv her i wis getting tickets tae her show in the secc but they were all sold oot
this song is ace!!
Pink is amazing
I love it! It has a kick-ass attitude that a woman might need to get through the heart ache of breaking up! I give them both a lot of credit for having him on the vidio. Her for asking him and him for agreeing! We should all take note. I feel for you, Pink! I also have a lot of respect. Speaking from experience, as one of your older fans. PS, Pink, my name is Pinky also! Since I was a baby until now. This is my nick name called by friends and family. I have loved your singing since the first moment I heard you! Please keep on rockin! Be safe. 1
i think this song make me thing of ma family every thing u say in this song happened to ma family wooooooooooo
I agree with your point about not underestimating this song. It may be a break-up song but it's also a good song. The chorus is extremely catchy.
The end of So What the guitar comes in and plays the melody of "Don't Let Me Get Me."
Love the song, love the video BUT can anybody please tell me who the guy in the video is? The one whose forehead Pink signs?!?!?
