When “Just Give Me a Reason” turned into this enormous duet, Pink made a cunning move by actually fooling Nate Ruess of Fun into singing on it. Instead of just one person singing to herself, the song seemed to be a natural back and forth between two people. One of her biggest hits came from that cunning setup.
Originally, Pink and Nate were writing together; she wrote the first verse and chorus during a session with producer Jeff Bhasker. It wasn’t meant to be a duet until Pink realized: this song needed two voices. She pitched it as a conversation, tricking him into singing his part even though he was hesitant at first.

Fans everywhere felt it emotionally, and it went straight to the top of the charts around the globe. People said the duet made it feel like a real conversation, and it lit up playlists, radio, and their hearts.
If you’re vibing with that, check out another Pink track, “Try” from the same album, The Truth About Love, a different energy: intense and dramatic, but still rich with emotion and her signature raw power.
