The song was released in October 2010 by LaFace Records and RCA Records, to gain both critical and commercial success, being acclaimed by most music critics and described as a party anthem, and reaching the Top 10 in several countries, including the United States, where it became her third number-one single.
In an interview for MTV, P!nk commented on the song:
"I don’t know if it’s going to be huge, but it is new. I did three new songs. It was good timing. I had been on the road for two years and I hadn’t written anything and I wanted to write a song about underdogs. Instead of going and becoming a cover girl, I kind of just hit the road and pounded the pavement…and became a touring artist. You don’t have to be popular when you’re a touring artist, you just have to be good, and this is a thank you for the fans."
Raise Your Glass
P!nk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We gonna lose our minds tonight,
What's the dealio?
I love when it's all too much,
Five a.m. turn the radio up
Where's the rock and roll?
Panty snatcher,
Call me up if you want a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Slam slam, oh hot damn
What part of party don't you understand,
Wish you'd just freak out (freak out already)
Can't stop, comin' in hot,
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now (so fuckin' on right now)
Party crasher,
Panty snatcher,
Call me up if you want a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
"Maybe gritty dirty little freaks"
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
(Oh shit my glass is empty, that sucks)
So if you're too school for cool,
And you're treated like a fool,
(Treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always,
Party on our own
(So raise your, ah fuck)
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
Maybe nitty gritty dirty little freaks
So raise your glass if you are wrong,
In all the right ways,
All my underdogs,
We will never be never be, anything but loud
Maybe gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass,
Just come on and come on and raise your glass
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
Just come on and come on and raise your glass (for me)
"Raise Your Glass" by P!nk is an anthem for those who feel they don't fit in, the "underdogs" who will always be loud and proud. The song encourages listeners to let loose and enjoy life, even if they are perceived as "wrong" in some way. In the opening verse, P!nk sings about turning off the lights and losing your mind, asking "What's the dealio?" She loves it when things get wild, turning up the radio at 5 a.m. to find the rock and roll. She invites others to join her in letting loose, urging them not to be fancy, but just to dance.
The chorus is a call to arms for those who feel like they don't quite fit in. P!nk sings "Raise your glass if you are wrong, in all the right ways" - acknowledging that those who are different are often the most interesting and unique. She affectionately refers to these people as "nitty gritty dirty little freaks" and invites them to come together to celebrate their differences. The second verse continues in the same vein, with P!nk urging listeners to "freak out" and "come in hot." She reminds them that it's okay to be a "party crasher" or a "panty snatcher" - anything goes as long as you're having fun.

Party crasher
Panty snatcher
Call me up if you a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways
All my underdogs
We will never be never be, anything but loud
And nitty gritty dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and raise your glass

@elinaolifer
Okay, how did I not realize when I was a kid and was a fan for these songs for their catchiness, that Pink was actually a revolutionary?
@AMUSESWRLD
Elina Oliferovskiy was just thinking the SAME thing . beautiful person .
@lillysmith4040
Because no one was talking before about equality and inclusivity, for the media it was just a girl with good music and weird music videos, now everyone jumping on the trend
@mariadelgado4439
Elina Oliferovskiy if you’re like me,,, you like what YOU like just because... not because anybody is telling you you have to like it!

SO true! I've been listening to her since I was in primary school, and she has made me who I am. Strong, determined and not afraid to be myself. Screw the rest of the world!!!
@zipporahvictoria2542
