A new music video in companion to the pop rock artist Pink's latest openhearted single "I Don't Believe You" has hit the web, featuring the singer as a sad bride. She is seen wandering alone through an empty building full of tables and chairs set up for the reception and her groom is nowhere to be seen.
"I Don't Believe You" is a song released as the sixth single from her fifth studio album "Funhouse". Musically, the song is a mid-tempo pop ballad, and the guitar and piano are used for the background. Pink explained on her website that, lyrically, the song is all about pleading for reconciliation, and is her favourite song "because it's just so naked. It's like taking a deep breathe and saying, 'Here I am. Take me. Take your best shot'." She went on to explain of the emotional track that: "The first thing that comes to my mind with "I Don't Believe You" is me standing in the vocal booth listening. Actually in the control room listening to this song, tears running down my face, just like 'fuck, really?' It's the vulnerable weak side of me that I don't let out very often. And it's that song. And I love it, I love it. I just love it, it's very near and dear to me." This heart-wrenching ballad track is penned by Pink partnering with top-notch producer/songwriter Max Martin.
The music video for "I Don't Believe You," directed by Sophie Muller, was shot in September in Los Angeles. The video is in black and white, it features Pink in a white wedding dress she wore to her real wedding as she searches for her lover, to no avail. Scenes include Moore lying down in the dress, running around what appears to be the inside of a church, and singing to herself in front of the mirror.
Jonathan Keefe from Slant Magazine praised the song, its sparse electric guitar riff, and Pink's "phenomenal vocal turn that is both vulnerable and accusatory", while New York Times reporter Jon Caramanica claimed "I Don't Believe You" swells like a classic soul ballad, as Pink pleads for a lover to reconsider walking away. Everyone knows that Pink can do cheeky pop-punk better than most. But, on this single, she proves there's another side to her music. In fact, "I Don't Believe You" finds Pink channelling her inner Mariah and delivering one of her strongest, most emotional vocal performances to date. It's the perfect creamy, indulgent dessert after the spicy, flavoursome main course of Pink's usual fare. There's no fist-pumping chorus or naughty lyrics for her to hide behind here.
