"Most Girls" "You Make Me Sick"

"There You Go" is a song co-written and performed by American singer P!nk, released as her debut single from her debut album, Can't Take Me Home. The single was released on January 18, 2000 in the United States and May 22, 2000 in the United Kingdom.

Background[]

"There You Go" was written by P!nk, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs and Kandi Burruss. It was produced by "She'kspere". The song is about a relationship that P!nk has ended, but the ex-boyfriend wants her back. The single peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100, #2 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and #6 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also a big hit in Australia, and was accredited Platinum with sales of over 70,000.[1]

Critical reception[]

Allmusic highlighted the song. Rob Brunner compared: "Briggs's 'There You Go' is remarkably similar to his hits for Destiny's Child ('Bills, Bills, Bills') and TLC ('No Scrubs') but minus the vocal interplay that gives those tunes their punch." MTV Asia wrote that this song is an edgy cut that haves all that it takes to top the charts. Rolling Stone was also positive: "Her debut has one awesome single in 'There You Go', whose wronged-woman sass is set to a stop-start groove so bling-bling it redeems a chorus that ends, 'Sometimes it be's like that.'" Complex magazine named it the 11th best R&B song by a white singer in 2000s.

Music video[]

In the music video, P!nk's ex-boyfriend calls her asking for a ride, and she reluctantly agrees to give him one. P!nk hops on a motorcycle and rides to the top of a parking structure overlooking her ex's apartment, where she calls him on her cell. She then accelerates her motorcycle, jumps off at the last second and watches as it soars off the building and crashes into his apartment window before exploding into flames. P!nk then jumps into a car driven by a new guy, giving her ex the middle finger as they drive off.
