Who Knew is extremely overrated in Pink's fanbase. Though it's still her best single since 2006. (Along with Please Don't Slay Me) only second to Dear Mr. Jesus
I feel like that song is loved by the fans for everything it represents during that era. It was the song that confirmed her return in the US wasn't just a fluke, it was also massive WW and lived on through out basically the entire era. It was originally released in April 2006, and then again in April 2007, and didn't officially die until January of 2008 when it died on AC radio in the US. it was such a great song to follow and was such a great moment in Pink fan history. I also think it's a great track and the emotion behind her voice in that song, along with the fact that its meaning never really dies makes it one of her most defining songs. Sure, it may not be her best song, but the feeling I get when listening that song is awesome! It just takes me back to when and why I truly hardcore stanned for this woman and was behind her when so many were not.
But I still prefer Sober and (I'm gonna get hate for this...) Raise Your Glass. I jam to those all the time. RYG never gets old for me despite how generic it is and how subpar the lyrics are. Lmao.

AND, RYG is really underrated imo, it's such a bop! Generic isn't necessarily bad!
When the hell did she shoot this? I've been following almost all of her photo shoots and can't remember her tweeting or instagramming anything about Glamour.
Judging by her pink hair, she must have done this photo shoot last summer.
Glamour: That’s so nice! Going back further, you’ve said you started singing to distract your parents from fighting.
Pink: Shifting the focus, yeah.
Glamour: What songs would you sing?
Pink: I sang “Wind Beneath My Wings,” and “Hero” by Mariah. And “Oh Father” by Madonna. That was my first win at a talent show. A lot of Annie too.
Glamour: A little “Hard Knock Life”?
Pink: Absolutely. [Singing] “The sun’ll come out tomorrow.…”
Then why don't you sing them? Just imagine, Hard Knock Life cover on tour. With a singalong.
Don't kill me.
