Hurts 2B Human

Hurts 2B Human is the eighth studio album by American singer-songwriter Pink. Released on April 26, 2019, by RCA Records, the album was initially planned as a standalone extended play (EP). Pursuing a sound that would be a departure from her previous albums, Pink enlisted the assistance of collaborators such as Greg Kurstin, Max Martin, and Ryan Tedder. The album features guest appearances by Cash Cash, Khalid, Chris Stapleton, and Wrabel. Musically, Hurts 2B Human is a pop record whose lyrics delve into themes of love, family, introspection, life, and self-worth. Pink officially announced Hurts 2B Human during her interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show broadcast in February 2019. "Walk Me Home" was released as the lead single to commercial success, peaking within the top-ten charts of several countries, including Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The second single "Can We Pretend" followed it, while the title track and "Love Me Anyway" had a limited release. To promote the album, she added it to her Beautiful Trauma World Tour for the 2019 shows. Hurts 2B Human received generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom praised its production and cohesiveness; others felt it was too calculated and formulaic. The album reached number one in eight countries including The UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Switzerland. In the United States, Hurts 2B Human became Pink's third consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awarded it a platinum certification.
