Pink's not "Stupid" — she knows it's time to move on from her controversial clip and demonstrate that the rest of her new album, I'm Not Dead, isn't all gimmick. The singer shot a video for the wistful "Who Knew" over the weekend in Los Angeles, following a couple at a carnival with directors Samuel Bayer (Green Day, Good Charlotte), Robert Hales (Fort Minor, Jet) and Brian Lazzaro (Rilo Kiley, Mest). "It's about the death of friendship," Pink said. "You're best friends forever, and then three years later, you haven't seen each other in two years. What happened? You grow apart and people come in and out of your life for different reasons, seasons." Pink also has a video for "U and Ur Hand" already in the can, directed by "Stupid Girls" auteur Dave Meyers.
Who Knew is my favorite song on the album!! It has a spring/summer vibe so I hope radio will pick this up.
In any case, it seems the video pretty much directly follows the lyrics- which is good. I was just thinking that she might want to put a high school/growing up spin on it to grab the upcoming graduates. Either way, after the horrendous misstep that was "Try This," I think she is really being careful to plan out her moves well.
I bet anything, the record company will allow 4 singles, U & Ur Hand not being one of them, but they'll decide to go ahead and release it as a 5th single despite Pink not wanting it to be a single... it's not like she would have to do any work... it already has a video shot...
Did she give any reason why she didn't want it to be single? That's crazy b/c it has hit written all over it & to me it's classic Pink...it's an attitude song!
I am actually glad that Who Knew is teh enst singlen now. I am really looking forward to teh video, I liked the whole carnival idea. Plus I love her curly half blonde with a red underlair hair style that she has in the pics for the video.
I see it maybe going...
1. Stupid Girls
2. Who Knew
3. U + Ur Hand
4. Long Way To Happy
I would actually love it to go that way, and I think it just might.
Need she have 5th single I'm thinking Cuz I Can, Runaway, I'm Not Dead, or Conversations..., But shes been giving attention to Nobody Knows as well, so maybe thats a sign of it being a future single.
