Pink said the song stemmed from her desire to spread the message that one shouldn't let their fears, insecurities or inhibitions hold them back from anything in life.

\"All the chances we don't take in our life and all the time we waste and the memories that we give up on because we live in our head,\" she began. \"A lot of this record is -- screw that. I'm not gonna live in my head, I'm gonna live in my heart and my body because I'm not gonna be here forever.\"

Despite the message of the song, Pink is the first to admit that she still battles insecurities at times: \"When people think about me, it's this man-eating, loud, snarly -- 'PINKerbelle' flying through the air, screaming, right? But there's the deep cuts -- there's the other stuff going on.\"

As she's grown up, she said she's come to embrace those moments when she's battling insecurities, instead of missing out on opportunities to experience life because of her fears.

Pink said that she also feels that she's \"calmer\" now when it comes to expressing herself through music.

\"I used to think that you have to scream to be heard, and, in some ways in my life, that was true,\" she explained. \"But I've always been interested in what quiet power looks like, and when you have self-respect and you figure out how to love yourself and why you should love yourself, you don't always have to scream. Because you just say it once, and that person has the choice to listen or not, but that doesn't change your lane.\"

Keeping her family at the center of it all

The hitmaker said she has a \"very codependent\" relationship with her two children, Willow, 11, and Jameson, with her husband Carey Hart.

\"They're the loves of my life,\" she said about her children.

Speaking about how they influence her creative process, Pink further explained, \"I am a person that my life's work is to find words for my feelings and then make them sound as authentic and raw as possible -- and they just provide more feelings.\"

\"I mean, I route my tour around Willow's theatre production,\" she continued. \"Our life is very extraordinary and complicated and they just keep me every day present and attached to my heart ... they kind of tether me back down to the Earth.\"

Although Pink's fans have heard Willow sing on their 2021 single, \"Cover Me in Sunshine,\" Pink said her daughter likely isn't following the same path as an artist.

\"She does not want to be a singer,\" Pink said, explaining that her young daughter doesn't have her mind made up yet on what she wants to be.

\"I want her to be a lawyer for the ACLU, personally, so I'm kind of -- you know, just -- laying little seeds like, 'You should be a lawyer for the ACLU, so that you can bail your brother out also,\" she added with a laugh.
