:"This is a short paragraph about the album. See M!ssundaztood for the main content."

After "Can't Take Me Home", Pink wanted to have control over her own music.cite web | title=Pop Princess Pink: Flush With Attitude| work=TheWashingtonPost.com| url=http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost/access/122066581.html?dids=122066581:122066581&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=JUN+02%2C+2002&author=Teresa+Wiltz&pub=The+Washington+Post&desc=Pop+Princess+Pink%3A+Flush+With+Attitude&pqatl=google| accessdate=2002-09-02] She recruited 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry to help her with writing a new album. She explained about the title: "I think we all feel misunderstood, and our main goal is to be appreciated for all that we are -- most of the time we don't even fully understand ourselves ... thus the title of my album." Pink worked with Perry on most of the songs of the album. She also contributed guest vocals on "Lonely Girl". Other guest vocals are heard on "Misery", where Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi are heard. Other writers on the album are writer/producer Scott Storch and Dallas Austin.

The album sold 16 million copies worldwide. [ [http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_2003_Sept_22/ai_108002015 "P!NK - Looking for 'Trouble?' - TRY THIS!

Retrieved December 11 2006.] (Collectively, four million copies of the singles were sold, according to Pink herself.) With 5.3 million copies sold in the United States and 1.72 million in the United Kingdom. The success was so huge that the album was ranked ninety-fourth on the Official UK Charts Company's all-time best-selling albums list. [Harris, Bill. [http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/Q/Queen/2006/11/17/2391437.html "Queen rules - in album sales"] . "Toronto Sun". November 17 2006.] It was the biggest-selling album by a female in the UK.

"Try This"

:"This is a short paragraph about the album. See Try This for the main content."

Most of the tracks were produced and co-written by punk band Rancid's singer and guitarist Tim Armstrong. Pink contributed "Feel Good Time" (produced by and featuring William Orbit) to the "" film soundtrack, and it was featured on "Try This" as a non-U.S. bonus track. Pink said in an interview with "The Irish Times" in 2006 that she wasn't happy with the way the label wanted her to make an album after the success of "M!ssundaztood". "I was kind of rebelling against the label on that one," she said. "I was going: 'You want a record? Fine, I'll write 10 songs in a week for your fuckin' record and you can press it up and put it out.'"Boyd, Brian.

"I'm Not Dead"

:"This is a short paragraph about the album. See I'm Not Dead for the main content."

Pink said about "I'm Not Dead" that she didn't expect to be very emotionally involved in the making of the album because the experience of making her last, "Try This" (2003), was "draining", but that she was "forced to be almost emotionally involved" by her collaborators, such as Billy Mann. The album was a controversial album, mainly bacause of the topics on the album. Songs like "Stupid Girls" (in which she deplores the lack of good role models for young girls while encouraging them to cultivate independence), "Dear Mr. President" (which is about the U.S. president George W. Bush) and "U + Ur Hand" (which is about the sexual approach of men to women). Some of the songs were leaked onto the internet before its release.

The album sold 6.0 million copies worldwide according to Media Traffic. The album has had a lot of succes in Europe, selling 1.15 million copies in the UK. It was a huge success in Australia, selling over 630,000 copies and being certified 9x Platinum.
