Trustfall
P!NK
TRUSTFALL is P!NK’s ninth studio album, released in February 2023, and it finds her leaning into a broad, modern pop sound while writing about grief, middle age, family, and the risk of staying open to life. The 13‑track record runs about 44 minutes and moves between upbeat, synth‑driven dance‑pop (the title track “TRUSTFALL,” “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” “Runaway”), atmospheric pop‑rock, and more acoustic, Americana‑tinged pieces. It was launched by the bright, Max Martin/Shellback‑produced single “Never Gonna Not Dance Again,” followed by the clubby, emotionally charged “TRUSTFALL” and the piano‑led opener “When I Get There,” which P!NK has described as a letter to her late father.
Lyrically, the album circles around the metaphor of a “trust fall”—choosing to leap despite fear—applied to grief, long‑term relationships, and a turbulent world. “When I Get There” and “Turbulence” grapple directly with loss and anxiety, “Last Call,” “Hate Me,” and “Lost Cause” tap into burnout and self‑doubt, while “Never Gonna Not Dance Again” and “Runaway” insist on joy and release in spite of everything. Three collaborations broaden the emotional palette: “Long Way to Go” with The Lumineers and “Kids in Love” with First Aid Kit tilt toward folk/country storytelling, and “Just Say I’m Sorry” with Chris Stapleton closes the album as a raw, traditional ballad about apology and pride. Critics generally note that TRUSTFALL continues the adult‑contemporary, big‑chorus direction of Beautiful Trauma, but many praise it as a stronger, more cohesive set that plays to her core strengths: a raspy, powerful voice, plain‑spoken lyrics, and an ability to make both the sad songs and the feel‑good bangers feel equally lived‑in.
