Encyclopedia
Missundaztood is the second studio album
by American singer-songwriter Pink
. The album was released worldwide in late 2001
to receive global commercial and critical success, with worldwide sales estimated to exceed 13 million units, and critics welcoming the new sound Pink presents on the record, switching to pop rock music, after an urban-influenced debut.
The album's singles were positively-received by critics and fans. They all made chart debuts and became hits, thus were featured on Pink's 2010 Greatest Hits... So Far!!! album. They include the global chart topper "Get the Party Started
," and hit singles "Don't Let Me Get Me
" and "Just Like a Pill
," all reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100
. The album's final single was "Family Portrait
," a vulnerable R&B
anthem that Pink wrote about her parents' separation. The song became a worldwide Top 20 hit, peaking at #20 on the Hot 100.
Pink wanted to have control over her own music stating that "All the girls that came out in the last couple of years, we all got thrown into one bucket. I don't want people to throw me in that bucket." This album is different than Can't Take Me Home as it leads toward pop
and rock
and less of Pink's original contemporary R&B/soul
sound. She recruited 4 Non Blondes
singer Linda Perry to help her with writing a new album. According to Pink in VH1's
Driven she left a message on Perry's answering machine after finding her number in make-up artist Billy B's phone book, saying she wanted to write with her. She stated that the reason she wanted to work with Perry was that 4 Non Blondes album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!
was one of her favourite albums.
and Richie Sambora
of Bon Jovi
on "Misery". Other writers that worked on the album are Scott Storch
and Dallas Austin
.
Different subjects are touched upon on Missundaztood. In "Don't Let Me Get Me" she tackles teenage angst and "Just like a Pill" she describes her drug abuse as a teenager. Pink's father was sent to serve in the Vietnam war
which made such an impression on her that she used the stories of her father in the song "My Vietnam". Towards the end of the song is a sonic interpolation of Jimi Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner." "Family Portrait
" tackles divorce and its effects.
There are claims that say that the song "Beautiful
" by Christina Aguilera
was first intended to be sung by Pink, as the song was also written by Perry. Pink claimed the song but Perry did not give it to her because she was waiting for someone else and she was not ready to record the song.
According to VH1's Driven, Antonio "LA" Reid of LaFace Records
wasn't initially content with the new music Pink was making, because she had made a name for herself with her successful R&B debut.
At the 2003 Grammy Awards "Missundaztood" was nominated for "Best Pop Vocal Album" and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance", respectively. At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards
, "Get the Party Started" won in the categories "Best Female Video" and "Best Dance Video".
Many of the songs on the album contain strong language, and the song "18 Wheeler" in particular, contained many expletives. However, the album was censored in order to avoid a Parental Advisory
sticker. No uncensored studio versions of "18 Wheeler" exist, but Pink performs the song uncensored while on tour.
In the U.S., three different editions of Missundaztood were released in total: the first edition was the original version released in 2001 with an Enhanced portion on the disc, which - if put in your computer - let you listen to the international song "Catch 22", and gave you access to a photo gallery, sing-alongs, and more. The second version released was the main album reissued, but without the Enhanced CD portion. A third version, which was a limited edition that included a bonus DVD (the contents of the CDs were the same) was released for a limited time in 2002 and included the two music videos and two live performances. Both the Limited Edition with the Bonus DVD and the Enhanced CD versions have since gone out of print, and the initial 2001 release is the only version of the album still in print. It was released outside the US with an extra track, "Catch 22". Also, on current pressings of the album, the track "Misery" is slightly different. On current pressings, Steven Tyler sings an entire verse as opposed to a providing only few lines and background vocals. On initial pressings of the album, Pink sang all the verses, including the one that Tyler sings on current pressings of the album. The first version of the album that contains the version of Misery where Pink sings Tyler's verse was not on a specific pressing run, as even some copies the first version of the album released (with the Enhanced content) have the current version of the song. It is somewhat hard to find editions of the album with the original version of the song.
Before releasing her album she contributed to the Moulin Rouge!
soundtrack. Together with Christina Aguilera, Mýa
and Lil' Kim
, she re-recorded Patti Labelle's
"Lady Marmalade
". Under the supervision of record producer and rapper Missy Elliott
, they released the song in April 2001. The song became a huge hit around the world, peaking at #1 in 15 countries including the United States
and the United Kingdom

Pink embarked on the Party Tour
to promote the album, touring clubs and other venues in the United States. She was also the opening act for 'N Sync
on the American and European legs of their tour in 2002.

In its fifth week, when it was at number ten, the album sold 323,000 copies. It sold 73,000 copies in its eighth week and rose to number six on the chart; this was its peak position.
