Trying what? So are you implying fun. are one hit wonders or something? 'Some Nights' was a huge hit. And every artist can flop. P!nk already knows some of that with 'Try This'. 'Nuff said.

Of course, it's one of the few songs that has actually made me cry - the others being "Nothing Fails", "Jar of Hearts", "What Now", and quite a few Shakira songs.

Absolutely. Anyone who says no is clearly either a hardcore Pink stan or just downright blinded by their delusion.

Would it even be considered a love song? I mean its about heartbreak and being broken/desperate. Hardly seems all loveydovey to me

Glad you brought this up! 'Stay' is a song that has actually been able to make me cry! Its cathartic ability is unbelievable, very hard for a song to be able to do that. That's one of the reasons I love it so much.

Well yeah. Love has a "nice" side and its "dark" side, this song explores the dark side of love and expresses it in a painful way. A lot of songs feature people who are in love and therefore "happy", "willing" or "dreamy". But this song comes from the pain of already having experienced a history. It's so simple but it denotes a past but obviously a future in a present state of heartbreak. I'm so glad of its existence since most love songs express an idealistic therefore unrealistic side of love. The one that comes from the "euphoria" state of love. The part where you haven't lived yet the flaws of the person you love and you don't really know if you're going to be able to love that person after you really know them, because mostly when you're in love you think the other one is "perfect" but this song directly expresses how imperfect and harmful has been the person you loved, yet you still love that person.

That for me is sort of what people say is "unconditional" love. It's easy to love someone that only makes you happy but being able to love someone that has hurt you, being able to understand that person and still being able to love, that's a strong message.

yes stay is the ballad,song of the year. timeless

Hmmm... No.

Yes.

But JGMAR was much more successful. How is that delusion?

I think JGMAR is better because it has a more memorable hook, and it definitely sounds a lot more of a contemporary love song than Stay.

DEATH @ people bringing up .fun's name into this. I didn't even know Nate Ruess was from .fun until like last week. Doubt the GP knows about that little factoid too.

Nop, JGMAR is, or in it's deffect, WIWYM

Nope darling. 'Stay' is the love song of the DECADE. Haters stay mad.

It's def already one of her signature songs and a classic from this generation of music

That doesn't mean anything to be honest, I feel like WIWYM is going to be the bigger hit at the end even though both songs kinda share the same success right now, and about stay being performed on talent shows, well WIWYM was performed on American Idol, the voice USA, the Voice Australia, & Xfactor/Poland.

#6 When I Was Your Man 214.000 [17 weeks]
TOTAL 4.514.000

#7 Stay 209.000 [18 weeks]
TOTAL 4.757.000

And When I was your man is the second best selling single of 2013 on Amazon so far.

That's why he is on the song, P!nk asked him after they wrote the song.

And no, Stay isn't the love song of the year.

Just Give Me A Reason is.

But those weren't either successful or current. Don't try to knock Adele's actual impact.

Also, Still Into You was released and it's a better love song than the three that you all are limiting yourselves to.

Not at all
