P!nk - Just Give Me A Reason ft. Nate Ruess

When P!nk sat down with producer Jeff Bhasker and fun.’s frontman Nate Ruess, magic wasn't just made—it exploded. Originally conceived as a solo songwriting session for her hit 2012 album The Truth About Love, P!nk quickly realized this soaring, emotionally charged track about a relationship on the brink wasn't a monologue. It was a desperate, beautiful dialogue. She fiercely championed turning it into a duet, successfully persuading a hesitant Ruess to lend his distinct, theatrical vocals to the track.

The result? "Just Give Me A Reason" became an absolute global behemoth in 2013, dominating the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks and earning two Grammy nominations. The music video, directed by Diane Martel, amplified this intensity by featuring P!nk’s real-life husband, Carey Hart, navigating a surreal, flooded dreamscape that mirrored the raw intimacy of the lyrics.

Time Capsule 2013: When this heartfelt ballad ruled the airwaves, the world was undergoing a seismic shift. Vine was reinventing internet humor, Netflix kickstarted the binge-watching era with House of Cards, and electronic dance music was commandeering global pop charts. Amidst a sea of synthetic club beats, P!nk and Ruess offered a refreshing, passionately acoustic oasis that defined the soundscape of the year.
