"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.

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

"There You Go" was filmed across the Eastern Columbia Building in Los Angeles.

The accompanying music video for "There You Go" was directed by Dave Meyers and debuted via The Box in late November 1999.[2] Filmed in various locations throughout Los Angeles, their collaboration marked the beginning of several future videos the pair would work on together.[3] Pink, who had "just started riding motorcycles,"[3] reportedly "almost crashed 85 times" during filming.[3] In 2019, the singer confessed to being under the influence of marijuana while shooting the video, to the point she was unable to keep her eyes open, explaining to Billboard: "Dave Meyers kept coming up to me and saying, "Can you wait to smoke that next blunt before the beauty shot?" I was like, "What do you mean?". He was like, "I really want you to be able to open your eyes"."[3]

In the music video, Pink's ex-boyfriend Mikey calls her asking for a ride and she reluctantly agrees to give him one. She hops on a motorcycle and rides to the top of a parking structure overlooking his apartment, where she calls him. She then accelerates her motorcycle, jumps off the last second, and watches as it soars off the building and crashes into his apartment window before exploding into flames, burning the armchair and the PlayStation Mikey was playing on earlier in the video. Pink then jumps into a car driven by a new guy, giving Mikey the middle finger as they drive off. Entertainment Weekly described the video by saying: "In the video for "There You Go" — her smash single — the piqued Pink freaks, sending a motorcycle crashing into [her boyfriend's] fab bachelor pad."[4]
