Proceeds from Pink’s new song to be donated to “When We All Vote” initiative

Pink’s new song, “Irrelevant” takes on anyone who dares to make her feel invisible or powerless.

She said she wrote the song after she woke up and got heated and that’s how the song came about.

In a statement about the track, she explained, “As a woman with an opinion and the fearlessness to voice that opinion, it gets very tiring when the only retort is to tell me how irrelevant I am. I am relevant because I exist, and because I am a human being. No one is irrelevant. And no one can take away my voice.” When We All Vote’s mission is to increase participation in each election cycle and change the culture around voting.”

Proceeds from the track, will be donated to former first lady Michelle Obama’s nonpartisan voting initiative called When We All Vote.

The artwork for the single is a blurry snap of Pink throwing up the middle finger with glee.

SIDE NOTES

  • Lyrics:You can call me irrelevant, insignificant/ You can try to make me small/ I’ll be your heretic, you f–kin’ hypocrite/ I won’t think of you at all/ Sticks and stones and all that s–t/ Does Jesus love the ignorant?/ I like to think he’d gladly take us all.”
  • It marks the first time Pink has collaborated on a song with Grammy-winning producer/songwriter Ian Fitchuk.
  • The defiant chorus features a play on The Who’s iconic 1965 debut album track “The Kids Are Alright,” with Pink warning, “The kids are not alright/ None of us are right/ I’m tired but I won’t sleep tonight/ ‘Cause I still feel alive/ The kids are not alright (not alright).”
  • It also nods to another iconic song on the final bridge, Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”
