Hurts 2B Human is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Pink. Released on April 26, 2019, by RCA Records, the album was initially planned as a standalone extended play (EP). Pursuing a sound that would be a departure from her previous albums, Pink enlisted the assistance of collaborators such as Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, and Ryan Tedder. The album features guest appearances by Cash Cash, Khalid, Chris Stapleton, and Wrabel. The album was officially announced during Pink's interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show broadcast in February 2019. Musically, Hurts 2B Human is a pop record whose lyrics delve into themes of love, family, introspection, life, and self-worth.

The album received generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom praised its production and cohesiveness; others felt it was too calculated and formulaic. Commercially, the album was successful, reaching number one in eight countries including The UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Switzerland. In the United States, Hurts 2B Human became Pink's third consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awarded it a platinum certification. To promote the singer's album, "Walk Me Home" was released on February 20, 2019, as a lead single to commercial success, peaking within the top-ten charts of several countries, including Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The second single, "Can We Pretend", was released on June 21, 2019, while the title track and "Love Me Anyway" had a limited release.

Background

Pink released her seventh studio album Beautiful Trauma in October 2017 to positive reviews.[1][2] In 2017, it was the third global best-selling album, and as of 2018 it had sold over three million units worldwide.[3][4] Beautiful Trauma earned Pink two Grammy nominations, one in 2018 and another in the 2019 ceremony.[5][6] Pink embarked on the Beautiful Trauma World Tour, which began in March 2018 and ended in November 2019, to further promote the album.[7][8] On January 26, 2019, Pink appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show for an interview. When asked about new music, Pink announced that a song titled "Walk Me Home" would be released in two weeks, while the album, titled Hurts 2B Human, was expected to be released in April 2019.[9]

The album's cover was unveiled on February 28, after Pink uploaded three teasers on her social media.[10] Photographed by Andrew Macpherson and designed by Hueman, the image features an artistic and colorful representation of the left side of Pink's face.[11][12] It includes an array of warm and bright colors, giving the sense of a watercolor-like painting.[10][13] During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the singer said that she chose to name the album Hurts 2B Human because the title track "hit a string in [her] that just resonates" and it felt "the most true to what's going on right now".[14]

Development and composition

Opportunities kept coming up for me to work with all these incredible people, and I think that's what this record is all about: the village it took to create it.

—Pink on the development process of Hurts 2B Human[15]

Recording sessions for Hurts 2B Human coincided with the Beautiful Trauma World Tour, with up to twenty songs being composed and considered for inclusion.[16] Pink explained that the creative process was different in comparison to that of her previous albums. She added, "I usually go on tour and stop writing altogether, but we just never stopped".[17] Initially planned as a standalone extended play (EP), the recorded material turned into a full body of work as the sessions continued to progress. Pink recalled that "it came together without me knowing that I was making an album".[14][18] Sessions took place at: The Village Studios, MXM Studios, Echo Studio in Los Angeles, Earthstar Creation Center in Venice, Grand Central South in Brentwood, Wolf Cousins Studios in Stockholm, and Roundhead Studios in Auckland.[11] The development process was described by the singer as "a pebble that rolled downhill and became [a] boulder".[17]

Musically, Pink claimed that Hurts 2B Human is a departure from the "angsty and marital" nature of her previous albums, and compared the songs to group therapy.[14][19] Inspiration for the songwriting came from the melancholy and pressure of current society as well as pain, the latter being considered a motivator and "something worth talking about".[17][20] The singer also revealed that motherhood had a positive impact on her music and life, helping her to become more open, confident, and thoughtful.[14] Many prominent musicians made guest appearances on the album. Pink invited Wrabel at her home studio, and the pair wrote "90 Days" together with Steve Robson.[21] Wrabel later said during an interview for Get Out! Magazine that the song talks about "having to fall out of love with someone to someone becoming sober", adding that it was incredibly special for him.[22] Khalid was approached by Pink for the title track, "Hurts 2B Human", because she enjoyed his voice and the idea behind the song. The singer said in an interview for Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show that the lyrics discuss the human experience and "the circle you create around you" to overcome rough times.[17] Another collaboration included on Hurts 2B Human is with the electronic group Cash Cash on "Can We Pretend", a song Pink said she had a fun experience making.[17] Influenced by Lee Ann Womack and her 2000 single, "I Hope You Dance", Pink contacted Chris Stapleton for a collaboration.[16] After he responded positively, Pink traveled to Nashville and wrote "Love Me Anyway" with Allen Shamblin and Tom Douglas.

Music and lyrical interpretation

Hurts 2B Human is primarily a pop album[23][24] that integrates elements of dance and country music.[25] Most critics felt that the record consists mainly of radio-friendly power ballads.[25][26][27] The album opens with "Hustle", an upbeat pop song with country influences.[28][29] Chris DeVille of Stereogum described it as "jazzy, bluesy retro" and "finger-snapper".[27] Thematically, it delves into a relationship gone wrong, with the singer warning her partner that he will not be able to take advantage of her again.[30][31] The second track, "(Hey Why) Miss You Sometime", is a dance-pop track.[32] The song finds Pink missing a person who hurt her in the past. She sings a heavily auto-tuned vocal.[33][34] "Walk Me Home" is a pop song with country elements and "flourishes of digitised vocal production", considered a "fresh touch" in Pink's discography by Aimee Cliff of The Guardian.[24] "My Attic", the fourth track, is an introspective ballad.[35] It contains "raspy" vocals and "poetic" lyrics about storing memories and secrets.[23][29][33] Wrabel is a featured guest the next song, "90 Days", which is a minimalist electronica ballad accompanied by a piano and "Vocoder-enhanced harmonies".[23][26] It depicts a relationship turned sour in which a partner has doubts and fears that their love will end.[36] Both Alexa Camp of Slant Magazine and Amy O'Connor of The Irish Times compared "90 Days" with Imogen Heap's song "Hide and Seek" (2005).[34][25]

The title track features Khalid. Its composition consists of an "EDM beat, plucky electric guitar chord" and synths, while lyrically the song finds the singers acknowledging the struggles that individuals face everyday and celebrating the power of bringing people together.[23][37][38] The seventh track, "Can We Pretend", is an EDM and dance-pop song featuring Cash Cash.[24][39] Its lyrics emphasize using nostalgia as a way of escapism from the "less than ideal" present reality, with Pink singing: "Hell yeah/Can we pretend? 'Cause honestly, reality, it bores me".[33] "Courage" is an acoustic "slow-build" power ballad with "nervy" vocals.[23][29][34] Thom Murphy of the Washington Blade compared the song's hook with Katy Perry's "Chained to the Rhythm" (2017).[32] "Happy", the ninth song, describes Pink's fear of opening up and her insecurities while growing up, as she sings: "Since I was 17, I've always hated my body, and it feels like my body hated me".[40] Pink revealed that this line was inspired by a miscarriage she suffered at the age of seventeen, saying that "when [it] happens to a woman or a young girl, you feel like your body hates you and like your body is broken, and it's not doing what it's supposed to do".[19]

"We Could Have It All" is a "groove-heavy" pop rock song.[23][28] According to Mike Wass of Idolator, it "captures the feeling of defeat when you have ruined a good thing and don't know quite how".[35] The album's eleventh track is "Love Me Anyway", a country ballad which features Chris Stapleton.[32] It portrays the act of commitment in a relationship and the obstacles which may occur, with lyrics such as the opening lines, "Even if you see my scars, even if I break your heart/ If we're a million miles apart, do you think you'd walk away?"[40] Maura Johnston of Entertainment Weekly called Pink's vocals "roughhewn", while Sean Maunier of Metro Weekly felt the duet worked because Stapleton's voice is "fading into the background".[23][33] For the penultimate song, "Circle Game", Pink reflects upon motherhood, mortality and "growing up to become the parental figure she once looked up to".[41] A piano-driven ballad, deemed as a "very personal offering",[29][40] it also focuses on topics like her relationship with her daughter, and childhood vulnerabilities that Pink has carried into adulthood.[33] The singer said that the track was inspired by her dad, saying: "He was my first hero. He was my God when I was a little girl. He's who taught me to fight for what I believe in. He's a big part of me."[14] The album concludes with "The Last Song of Your Life", an acoustic folk ballad with melancholic undertones and "a devastating appeal for honesty and authenticity".[29][34][35]

Release and promotion

"Love Me Anyway" features country singer Chris Stapleton. Pink described the collaboration as "one of the greatest honors of my life"[16]

Hurts 2B Human was released eighteen months after Beautiful Trauma and marked the shortest period of time between studio albums in Pink's career.[21] The album's release was preceded by several singles and promotional singles. "Walk Me Home" was released on February 20 as the lead single from Hurts 2B Human.[42] On the same day, Pink performed the song as part of a medley at the 2019 Brit Awards.[43] "Walk Me Home" received positive reviews from music critics, who commended its anthemic approach and production.[44][45] The song achieved commercial success and reached top-ten positions on the charts of several countries, including Finland, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.[46] In the United States, it peaked within the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs, Adult Contemporary and Adult Pop Songs charts, becoming her tenth number-one single on the latter and extending her record as the solo artist with the most number-ones on the chart.[46] The song's accompanying music video was directed by Michael Gracey and released a month later; it portrays Pink dancing with multiple shadows in an empty city.[47][48] "Walk Me Home" received a nomination in the category of Best Song at the 2020 Global Awards.[49]

"Hustle" was released on March 28 as the first promotional single from Hurts 2B Human, along with the album pre-order.[30] "Can We Pretend" was first released as the second promotional single, on April 11.[50] On the following month, it was released as the second official single in Australia, later being sent to adult contemporary radio stations in the United States on July 22, 2019.[51][52] It reached number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart, becoming Pink's seventh song to do so, as well as the first number one song for Cash Cash.[46] On April 22, the album's title track was released as the third promotional single.[37] On the same day, Pink appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and performed "Walk Me Home".[53] On May 1, the singer appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed "Hustle".[54] A music video for "90 Days" was released on June 18. Described as "emotional", the video presents the "toil of being a touring musician with a family."[55] Ten days later, a music video for "Can We Pretend" was released, showing an animated version of Pink going on a space exploration.[56] On August 30, "Hurts 2B Human" was released in selected territories as the album's third single.[57][58] "Love Me Anyway" was first serviced to country on September 17 and later, on November 18, to adult contemporary radio in the United States as the final single from Hurts 2B Human.[59][60] A day later, the music video for the title track was released. Directed by Alissa Torvinen, the video of "Hurts 2B Human" features individuals in a New York City apartment "undergoing the daily stresses of life".[61][62] On November 13, Pink performed "Love Me Anyway" with Chris Stapleton at the 53rd Annual Country Music Association Awards.[63]

Hurts 2B Human received generally positive reviews from contemporary music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 71, based on nine reviews.[65] Another music-aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave Hurts 2B Human 6.3 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.[64]

In a positive review, Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album a four-out-of-five rating. He found the record "generally a light affair" from the singer, and felt that the blending of different musical styles made it cohesive sonically. Erlewine concluded by saying that Hurts 2B Human "feels stylish and fashionable" while staying true to the "emotional gravity" that Pink has accumulated during her career.[26] Maura Johnston of Entertainment Weekly, who gave the album a "B" rating, commented that the optimistic nature of the album makes it enjoyable and relatable, and found country pop influences that show "how [Pink's] true-to-life lyrics and soulful bellow can play in Nashville's finest honky-tonks."[23]

Mikael Wood wrote for Los Angeles Times that Hurts 2B Human comes off as "strikingly aligned", pointing out the songs' messages about "overcoming obstacles and learning to trust in their abilities" in contrast to the music of younger artists that approach topics such as depression and drug consumption.[31] Chris DeVille of Stereogum said that the album showcases an artist "who's found her comfort zone and has successfully grown her music up along with her", but disapproved the overly emotional songs that provide a feeling of "mere product".[27] Writing for Rolling Stone, Sarah Grant characterized the record as "passionately confessional" and cited "Courage" and "Happy" as songs that find Pink at "[the] most brazen and heartbroken she's ever sounded", comparing the latter with the "patron saint" nature of her second studio album, Missundaztood (2001).[41]

Malvika Padin of Clash labelled it "a collection of anthemic pop tracks threaded through with her bold vocals".[29] Mike Wass of Idolator considered Hurts 2B Human to be Pink's best album since Funhouse (2008) and simply described it as "an accessible pop album for adults."[35] Both Aimee Cliff of The Guardian and Amy O'Connor of Irish Times awarded the album three out of five stars. Cliff called the ballads that highlight Pink's vocals stand-out moments, but opined that the album fails to give a "sense of constant evolution".[24] O'Connor shared a similar sentiment, feeling that the formulaic songwriting was an attempt to replicate the success of Beautiful Trauma (2017) and called Hurts 2B Human "a little too safe to really pack a punch." Nevertheless, she commended songs like "Can We Pretend" and "90 Days", calling the former "an ideal showcase" of the singer's personality.[25] In a negative review for Slant Magazine, Alexa Camp noted that the collaborations don't manage to "add much more than mere texture to the proceedings", but praised the "otherworldly quality" of "90 Days".[34]
