Shortly afterwards, her successful album M!ssundaztood was released at the end of 2001, which has a very personal touch and remains one of her best-selling albums to this day.

Her third album “Try This” (2003) was unable to build on this success, but in spring 2006 Pink successfully returned to number one with the album “I’m Not Dead”. In addition to “Stupid Girls” and “Who Knew”, the album also contains the much-discussed track “Dear Mr. President”, in which she criticizes the policies of George W. Bush. Pink’s fifth album “Funhouse” (2008) also tackles serious topics. With the title “So What”, she comes to terms with her separation from her husband Carey Hart, with whom she is now back together. Her subsequent albums “The Truth About Love” (2012), “Beautiful Trauma” (2017) and “Hurts 2B Human” (2019) were also all crowned with success.

The musician has received numerous awards for her artistic achievements. In 2002, she was awarded a Grammy in the “Best Pop Collaboration” category for her cover version of the song “Lady Marmelade” with Christina Aguilera, Lil’Kim and Mya.
