Pink Releases "Who Knew" as New Single (Again)
The pop charts have been anything but exciting this summer. It is all bit blah with the exception of Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Maroon 5's "Makes Me Wonder" perhaps.
Last year, the charts were buzzing with hot and sexy summer jams that lasted way into the fall. Summer hits in 2006 included Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous Girl," Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," Fergie's "London Bridge," Cassie's "Me & U," Christina Aguilera's "Ain't No Other Man, Shakira's "Hips Won't Lie" and of course Justin Timberlake's steaming groove "Sexyback."
There's a glimmer of hope though and that's Pink's new single "Who Knew," a hooky and melodic pop-rock gem. SonyBMG re-released the single after the unexpected chart success of "U + Ur Hand." Touring around with Timberlake earlier this year truly has given Pink's album "I Am Not Dead" a whole new life.
Written by Max Martin, Luke Gottwald and Pink, "Who Knew" is an intensely personal song about one of her friends who died of a drug overdose. Leave it up to Pink to tackle some real issues in a pop-friendly format. (Watch the video here.)

I thought this song was the 2nd single from the album after "Stupid Girls"...I have a remix of it from last year.

Of all the people doing that sort of thing right now, I think Pink is the most real and honest. I feel like she always goes from the gut, and she doesn't give a shit. I respect that.
"Who Knew" is a good tune. I hadn't seen the video before. Thanks!

I have to agree that the Bimbo Jones remix rocks as well. I hope that US radio will pick up on this the second time around!

It's a wonderful song (which I loved the first time). I'm not too sure I understand how the whole re-release/chart process works, maybe you can explain it to me sometime. :)

I did not get the feeling of drug overdose from Who Know? at all, but I think she has taken over the Kelly Clarkson niche, here is my spoof http://www.realcrash.com/pink-who-knew-about-the-crash/
