"'''So What'''" is a song written by [[United States|American]] [[pop music|pop]] singer [[Pink (singer)|Pink]], Max Martin and Shellback and released as the first single from Pink's forthcoming fifth studio album ''[[Funhouse (Pink album)|Funhouse]]''. The track was also produced by Martin, who previously collaborated with Pink on her hits "[[U + Ur Hand]]", "[['Cuz I Can]]" and "[[Who Knew]]".<ref name="SONYOZ">[http://www.sonybmg.com.au/news/details.do?newsId=20030829005731 P!nk Returns With New Single 'So What'] [[Sony BMG|Sony BMG Australia]].

"So What" was performed by Pink at the [[2008 MTV Video Music Awards]], on September 7, 2008, and is being used to promote the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Latin America.

On the weeks ending of September 26, 2008, Pink scored her first solo number-one hit in her native USA. It has also reached #1 in several countries, including a large part of the [[Anglophone|Anglophonic]] world.

==Background==
The song was written by Pink, in collaboration with Max Martin and Sellback. Martin also produced the track. Pink and Martin are responsible for their hit songs from Pink's previous album, including the US top-10 hits ''Who Knew'' and ''U + Ur Hand''.
Many critics and fans thought the song was about Pink's divorce in the beginning of this year. The first lines of the song say:
{{cquote|Guess I just lost my husband.<br> I don't know where he went.|cquote}} An indication that the song was about the divorce. But in interviews the singer stated that the song was not autobiographic, only a few aspects of the song.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3gbacsEcN8 NEW P!NK INTERVIEW - CNN INTERVIEW AT MAKING OF SO WHAT] ''[[Youtube]]'' and ''[[CNN]]''. Retrieved August 31, 2008.</ref>

The song was intended to be released to radio in the States later than its release date. Because the song leaked on the internet [[La Face Records]] decided to release the song on radio on August 18, 2008, as well as the digital version. It is not yet known if there's going to be a physical release. The track was released on the American [[Contemporary hit radio|CHR]] on August 18, 2008.<ref>[http://www.allaccess.com/site/futureReleases/index.php?bs=sk&sn=futureReleases&d=top40M&f=body&ng=top40M&ag=78 Latest Breaking Radio and Music News] ''[[All Access]]''.

Retrieved August 5, 2008.</ref>, but they were instructed from [[SonyBMG]] that they were not to play it due to an international embargo on the track.

Meanwhile, in Australia, the song began receiving actual radio airplay from August 7 and was instantly on high rotation across both the [[Austereo]] and [[DMG Radio Australia]] Networks. In New York, [[WHTZ]] better known as [[Z100]] played the song on the morning show at 8:45am EST on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo to great response.<ref>[http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/1391/pinknovajw8.jpg Nova Plays New Music First] ''[[Nova]]''.

==Music video==

[[Image:PinkSoWhatMusicVideo.jpg|180px|thumb|left|A split screenshot showing a love heart carved on a tree with Pink's birth name and the name of her ex-husband. The second shows Pink cutting down the tree.]]

The video begins in a tattoo parlour, Pink is getting a tattoo on her arm before the scene cuts to Pink riding down [[Sunset Boulevard]] on a lawnmower drinking alcohol. Pink is then shown entering Guitar Center browsing guitars. She pretends to play before attempting to smash it into the ground, but she is restrained by a store clerk which leads to them engaging in a fight. Pink is shown cutting down a tree engraved with her and her ex-husband's names with a chainsaw. She cries on the chainsaw, while telling herself that she is alright, right before the tree falls and nearly crushes her neighbor. After this, Pink is sitting in a bar after losing her table to [[Jessica Simpson]], accompanied by a man who is playing the drums out of glasses.

The next scene goes to Pink on a motorbike, while a newly wedded couple in a car pull up beside her. Jealous and outraged at the happy newlyweds, Pink is shown throwing objects at the car and popping the wedding balloons, before climbing onto it and playfully (albeit violently) attacking the vehicle. Pink is then shown stripping on the red carpet, surrounded by photographers, she takes off her jacket to reveal her nude body. The paparazzi all snap photos of her as she does choreography from [[Michael Jackson]]'s video for [[Thriller (music video)|Thriller]] naked. Then while getting her hair done, her stylist applies hairspray, as Pink turns on her lighter, accidentally setting her hair on fire. Also shown are two men urinating in bottles, which they give to Pink, however Pink passes them to two guys walking past her. They drink it and then realizing what it is, spit it out in disgust. Finally, Pink is shown surrounded by men and women in their underwear engaging in a pillow fight. The video then cuts between all the scenes shown in the video before ending with Pink poking her tongue at the camera with her ex-husband.

Pink is also shown performing the song in concert near the end. Pink's ex-husband [[Carey Hart]] makes cameos throughout the video, such as a scene where they are talking as newspaper headlines flash behind them. Producer [[Butch Walker]] also makes a cameo. Pink has stated that Hart had not heard the song prior to arriving for the video shoot.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://music.ndtv.com/story.asp?section=music&id=ENTEN20080065911|title = Pink tricked her ex-husband into acting|accessdate = 2008-09-21|date = 2008-09-18|publisher = ndtv.com}}</ref>

==Chart procession and succession==
Kurdish and opposition version of events:
{{start box}}
"The security forces then reportedly tied Shivan Qaderi’s body to a Toyata jeep and dragged him in the streets. The local Iranian authorities are reported to have confirmed that a person of this name, “who was on the run and wanted by the judiciary”, was indeed shot and killed by security forces at this time, allegedly while trying to evade arrest. During the days following Shivan Qaderi’s death, several thousand Mahabad residents, mainly youths, took to the streets to protest the killings. The demonstrations spread to other mainly Kurdish neighbouring towns of [[Sanandaj]] ([[Sinne]]), [[Sardasht]], [[Piranshahr]], [[Oshnavieh]], Baneh, Bokan and Saqiz.

"So What"
Song
B-side"Could've Had Everything"

"So What" is a song written by American pop singer Pink, Max Martin and Shellback and released as the first single from Pink's forthcoming fifth studio album Funhouse. The track was also produced by Martin, who previously collaborated with Pink on her hits "U + Ur Hand", "'Cuz I Can" and "Who Knew".[1]

"So What" was performed by Pink at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, on September 7, 2008, and is being used to promote the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards Latin America.

On the weeks ending of September 26, 2008, Pink scored her first solo number-one hit in her native USA. It has also reached #1 in several countries, including a large part of the Anglophonic world.

Background

The song was written by Pink, in collaboration with Max Martin and Sellback. Martin also produced the track. Pink and Martin are responsible for their hit songs from Pink's previous album, including the US top-10 hits Who Knew and U + Ur Hand. Many critics and fans thought the song was about Pink's divorce in the beginning of this year. The first lines of the song say:

Guess I just lost my husband.
I don't know where he went.

An indication that the song was about the divorce. But in interviews the singer stated that the song was not autobiographic, only a few aspects of the song.[2]

The song was intended to be released to radio in the States later than its release date. Because the song leaked on the internet La Face Records decided to release the song on radio on August 18, 2008, as well as the digital version. It is not yet known if there's going to be a physical release. The track was released on the American CHR on August 18, 2008.[3] It was released digitally on American iTunes on August 19th , 2008, and on September 2nd, it reached #1 on the store.[4] The track has also peaked at #1 on iTunes Canada.

The song leaked onto New Zealand radio station, The Edge on August 5[5], but they were instructed from SonyBMG that they were not to play it due to an international embargo on the track.

Meanwhile, in Australia, the song began receiving actual radio airplay from August 7 and was instantly on high rotation across both the Austereo and DMG Radio Australia Networks. In New York, WHTZ better known as Z100 played the song on the morning show at 8:45am EST on the Elvis Duran and the Morning Zoo to great response.[6][7][8]

The song was released in the UK on September 29, 2008. The song is currently on the A-list of BBC Radio 1 playlist.[9]

It has been questioned whether Pink has something against singer Jessica Simpson, as this is the second time Simpson has been negatively referenced in a Pink single, the first being "Stupid Girls".

Music video

Dave Meyers directed the video for "So What". Pink previously worked with him for the videos to "U + Ur Hand" and "Stupid Girls", which earned MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video.[1] Pink also worked with Meyers on the videos for "There You Go", "Most Girls", "You Make Me Sick", "Get the Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me" and the Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle track "Feel Good Time". The video was shown on August 22 on FNMTV.[10] The video has premiered on 22nd August on the UK music site popjustice.

Pink posted a message on her website for her fans what it was like to shoot the video:

If you EVER get a chance to drive a lawnmower down Sunset Blvd - I highly suggest it. Thanks for making my day. I'm really, really, really excited. This video was too much fun...glad you likey's and don't worry - Carey likey's too. We are insane.

— P!nk, Pink's official website[11]
A split screenshot showing a love heart carved on a tree with Pink's birth name and the name of her ex-husband. The second shows Pink cutting down the tree.

The video begins in a tattoo parlour, Pink is getting a tattoo on her arm before the scene cuts to Pink riding down Sunset Boulevard on a lawnmower drinking alcohol. Pink is then shown entering Guitar Center browsing guitars. She pretends to play before attempting to smash it into the ground, but she is restrained by a store clerk which leads to them engaging in a fight. Pink is shown cutting down a tree engraved with her and her ex-husband's names with a chainsaw. She cries on the chainsaw, while telling herself that she is alright, right before the tree falls and nearly crushes her neighbor. After this, Pink is sitting in a bar after losing her table to Jessica Simpson, accompanied by a man who is playing the drums out of glasses.

The next scene goes to Pink on a motorbike, while a newly wedded couple in a car pull up beside her. Jealous and outraged at the happy newlyweds, Pink is shown throwing objects at the car and popping the wedding balloons, before climbing onto it and playfully (albeit violently) attacking the vehicle. Pink is then shown stripping on the red carpet, surrounded by photographers, she takes off her jacket to reveal her nude body. The paparazzi all snap photos of her as she does choreography from Michael Jackson's video for Thriller naked. Then while getting her hair done, her stylist applies hairspray, as Pink turns on her lighter, accidentally setting her hair on fire. Also shown are two men urinating in bottles, which they give to Pink, however Pink passes them to two guys walking past her. They drink it and then realizing what it is, spit it out in disgust. Finally, Pink is shown surrounded by men and women in their underwear engaging in a pillow fight. The video then cuts between all the scenes shown in the video before ending with Pink poking her tongue at the camera with her ex-husband.

Pink is also shown performing the song in concert near the end. Pink's ex-husband Carey Hart makes cameos throughout the video, such as a scene where they are talking as newspaper headlines flash behind them. Producer Butch Walker also makes a cameo. Pink has stated that Hart had not heard the song prior to arriving for the video shoot.[12]

The video was released on Saturday September 6th on iTunes, and quickly jumped to the #1 video spot on the iTunes chart in less than 24 hours of it being listed.

Critical reception

"So What" has been critically well-received, with the website Popjustice giving it a positive review. Popjustice described the song as 'very amazing'.[13]

Chris Williams of Billboard gave the track a very positive review, enjoying the "insatiable melodic verses meant for massive car singalongs and a chorus combustion followed by a fist-in-the-air refrain." He also called it "an irresistible soundscape that will transform listeners into rock stars singing their very own breakup song." [14] Ryan Dumble of Blender gave "So What" a 3 out of 5 stars, commenting, "The disses are a bit immature ("I'm just fine and you're a tool") but there's a voyeuristic allure to the track", later saying "she's going for it." [15]

UK entertainment website Digital Spy also praised the song, calling it "packed with attitude" and "terrifically catchy"[16] Guide gave a positive review saying: "A singsongy intro gives way to a martial beat and chorus that's likely to send fists pounding into the air."[17] About.com lauds the track noting that this song is a good comeback for the singer; "Pink is back and not to be ignored."[17] Wellheart Music Journal says of the song 'kick-ass spit fire tune which rank among her fiercest, and she has the charisma to pull it off and remain relevant, unlike her contemporaries who continue to wither and wash up (Avril Lavigne).'[5]
