Encyclopedia
"Raise Your Glass" is a song
by American recording artist and songwriter Pink
, released as the lead single
of her first compilation album, Greatest Hits... So Far!!!. The song celebrates the first decade since Pink's debut in 2000 and is dedicated to her fans who have been supporting her over the years.
The song was released in October 2010, to gain both critical and commercial success, being appreciated by most music critics and described as a party anthem, and reaching the Top 10 in several countries, including the United States
, where it reached #1, and ultimately became Pink's second solo number one hit, following 2008's "So What
," and her third overall.
The song is written by Pink, Max Martin
and Shellback
and is produced by the latter two, who are responsible for many of Pink's biggest hits, and who also worked with Pink her following single, "Fuckin' Perfect
." The song is featured in a TV spot for the 2011 film Bridesmaids
and in the theatrical trailers for What's Your Number?
and New Year's Eve
.
.
Pink describes the song as a "celebration for people who feel left out from the popular crowd". In an interview for MTV, Pink comments on the song: "I don't know if it's going to be huge, but it is new. I did three new songs. It was good timing. I had been on the road for two years and I hadn't written anything and I wanted to write a song about underdogs. Instead of going and becoming a cover girl, I kind of just hit the road and pounded the pavement ... and became a touring artist. You don't have to be popular when you're a touring artist, you just have to be good, and this is a thank you for the fans".
rated the song with 4/5 stars, enjoying "the instant connection to her audience," "the anthemic celebration of personal uniqueness," and the "rousing, catchy chorus." He concluded the review, saying that "'Raise Your Glass' is a mainstream pop anthem that sounds durable. This song could soundtrack
a wide range of films or TV as well as real life parties and events. If you need a record to celebrate personal uniqueness, you don't need to turn anywhere else. Pink is your artist, and 'Raise Your Glass' is your song." Nick Levine from Digital Spy
was largely positive with the song, giving it 5/5 stars and describing it as "a full-throttle pop/rock stomper with a chorus as subtle as a porn star's cleavage, some classic Pink ad-libs and the best so-dumb-it's-genius couplet of the year: 'Don't be fancy / Just get dancey'... after ten years of sterling service to all things pop, the (pink) champagne's on us". Becky Bain from Idolator
said that "Pink lifts her glass to toast all the 'dirty little freaks' in her new party track". Fraser McAlpine from BBC
blog rated it 4/5 stars, saying that "it has to SOUND like wild and crazy fun. It should probably rock, or at least claim to rock. There must be a big celebratory chorus, something which brings everyone together in a glorious celebration of Brand Pink
. There should be a few silly one-liners, rampant abuse of the English language, a few extravagant claims, a strutting self-regard mixed with a giggling self-depreciation, a sneer and a smile".
"Raise Your Glass" recharged Pink's chart performance, becoming her tenth Top 10 hit and her second solo number one hit. It puts Pink on the list of female artists with most Top 10 hits, at number three, behind Rihanna
, who has collected 18 Top 10 hits since 2005 and Beyoncé, with 14. It took the song eight weeks to hit the Hot 100's apex, where it stayed for a single week. "Raise Your Glass" has also become Pink's fifth number one on Adult Pop Songs, giving her the most number ones on the chart of a female artist, and putting her in a tie with the band Nickelback
for the most number ones on the chart out of all artists. As of May 15, 2011 the single has sold 3,160,000 copies. The song took 27 weeks to sell 3 million copies. "So What," Pink's only previous 3-million seller, reached that level in 26 weeks. "So What" is up to 4,132,000 in digital sales.
Despite the significant airplay it received, "Raise Your Glass" has only reached #13 in the United Kingdom
, failing to match the chart performance on the US charts. However, in Australia
, "Raise Your Glass" climbed to the top of the ARIA
singles chart in 24 hours, it also debuted atop the Polish
charts and German
airplay charts, just like Pink's six previous singles. Therefore, Pink breaks the record she had set herself, as the artist with most consecutive number one singles on the chart. In New Zealand
, the song peaked at number five on the RIANZ on the singles chart and reached number one on the radio airplay chart.
for the song began filming on October 4, 2010 and is Pink's twelfth collaboration with Dave Meyers
. It is based around one of Pink's real-life experiences, and features a celebration of gay marriage, expressing her views that people should not feel any differently towards gay marriage than straight marriage.
Pink commented on the video in an interview for MTV: "I threw my best friend's wedding in my backyard — she is lesbian and she married her wife, and it was absolutely beautiful. At the end of it, her mom said, 'Why can't this be legal?' and started crying. It was just the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen, so that's why I'm doing it in my video."
.
Scenes from the video also include a skateboarding setting, which is reminiscent of Pink's debut music video for "There You Go
," and a scene in a high school prom where Pink sniffs under her arm, the same thing she did in the music video for "Get the Party Started
." The final scenes show a girl crying during her graduation, a reference to Pink's success in delivering her message after years since her debut.
The video was released on Pink's official website Tuesday, November 2 at 6PM EST.
