Pink is back with a dreamy, cinematic black-and-white visuals for veteran pop star's new empowering breakup anthem, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)," the lead single from her upcoming sixth studio album, "The Truth About Love," which is due out on September 18. Considering it to be a welcome return to form, the 32-year-old bustier-rocking beauty has had her heart broken and is seeking revenge by crashing her ex's wedding and making it rain pink paint all over the party!Little had been heard from Pink since 2010, as she had taken time off to be a mother to her baby daughter Willow. Motherhood has evidently not tamed Pink. The feisty songstress tells her ex on this break-up tune, "You will pay for your sins, you'll be sorry my dear. All the lies, all the lies, will be crystal clear." Produced by Kelly Clarkson collaborator Greg Kurstin, the track is an uptempo pop rock and dance-pop song with mix of Clarkson girl-power sass-tastic with Pink's signature lyrical edge and I-can-do-just-fine-on-my-own attitude.
"The moment I heard it and it was finished, I thought, 'This is the song at 2 a.m., in New York, dancing, drunk, letting off steam'," Pink told MTV News about the driving pop tune. It feels like something that Clarkson could have featured on her own album, but it's got a rocked-out, in-your-face edge that is signature Pink, who is always at her best when she combines her powerful vocals with edgy, biting lyrics. She added: "It's a really fun song. I can picture everyone extremely drunk dancing late at night together. It's a very happy song, although it's angry."
Directed by longtime collaborator Dave Meyers, the vintage clip is a whimsical nod to classic French cinema, all overwrought emoting and smoky, dream-like scenery. It opens with Pink and her potential paramour enjoying a picnic in an idyllic meadow, where she is about to submit to his wily charms until he makes the fatal error of taking a phone call... And perhaps most tellingly, Pink returns to the role she knows best: She's always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Of course, what we love most about her is she's the kind of bridesmaid that gets revenge and delights in doing so. You could probably even say it makes her happy.
