There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Pink was a late 1980s new wave band from Japan. Members included Yutaka Fukuoka (vocals/guitar), Hajime Okano (vocals/bass), Atsunobu Yakabe (vocals/drums), Hoppy Kamiyama (vocal/keyboards), Steve Eto (vocals/percussion), and Hidehiro Shibuya (vocals/guitars) Osamu Sakasai (vocals/guitars).
2) Pink was an alias of Manfred Linzner, a computer game music composer/demoscene artist & co-creator of the AHX tracker format.
1.) The band Pink formed as a collaboration between ビブラトーンズ (Vibratones) member Yutaka Fukuoka and Hero member Hoppy Kamiyama. The two were joined by Hajime Okano, Kamiyama's fellow bandmember in the rock group ショコラータ (Gun Blast). Atsunobu Yakabe, Osamu Skasai, and percussionist and former model Steve Eto rounded out the lineup.
The group released the singles 砂の雫 (Drops of Sand) and プライベートストーリー (Private Story) in 1984. Pink self-produced their first self-titled album, PINK, May 25, 1985 under their "MOON Records" label.
The band went on to release 光の子 (Child of Light) in February 1986 and two more albums, PSYCHO-DELICIOUS and CYBER in 1987.
At this point, the growing popularity of Pink caught the attention of major record labels. Hoppy Kamiyama would land a two-album deal with Toshiba EMI. The deal would end badly for Kamiyama after production of his critically acclaimed work was cut due to low sales. He would then go on to form his own labels, God Mountain (named for the English translation of his Japanese surname) and God Ocean.
It was the British record label, RIME that produced PSYCHO-DELICIOUS. The English-language single, 英語版 (Soul Flight) was also released under RIME.
Sony Epic produced the 1987 album Daydream Tracks.
The band returned to independent production in 1988 for Final Mix. In 1989, Osamu Sakasai took over on guitars for Red & Blue.
Each member of the band was an established musician in their own right and they continued to work on solo projects while involved with Pink. Finally, Steve Eto left the band in 1988 to pursue his own interests, leading to the eventual collapse of Pink and the end of production of new material.
Pink continues to tour today with lineups consisting of varying members of the original group as well as support artists. In March 2002, they released a greatest hits compilation The Best of Pink.
Former members of Pink pursue solo careers and have since joined groups such as Halo, Quadraphonics, Rael, Flesh, Pugs, ONTJ, and マダムピラニア (Madame Piranha). Kamiyama continues to run God Mountain and God Ocean.
2.) Germany-based Manfred Linzner writes music mainly for handheld consoles. He worked in-house at Vicarious Visions.
His work has appeared on such games as the 2000 PC version of Tomb Raider and Spider-Man, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, and the Iridion series of games. His firm Shin'en provides audio outsourcing services for Nintendo WiiWare and Nintendo DS games. They also offer freelance music services for web sites and developers.
Linzner has cited Vince DiCola, composer of the 1986 Transformers The Movie soundtrack, as one of his influences.
Linzner has been known to work under the handle Pink.

Pink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been the outcast never running with mascara eyes
I see the world
As a candy store
With a cigarette smile saying things you can't ignore
Like, mommy I love you
Daddy I hate you
Brother I need you
Here with my third eye
Like the blue in the sky
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm,you are the music
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
You get what you're given it's all how you use it
I've been a girl with her finger in the air
Unaffected by rumors the truth I don't care
So open your mouth, stick out your tongue
Might as well let go, you can't take back what you've done
Just find a new life style,reason to smile
Look for nirvana, under the strobe lights
Sequins and sex strings
You whisper to me
There's no reason to cry
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm,you are the music
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
You get what you're given it's all how you use it
Take what you get and get what you give
I said don't run from yourself,man, that's no way to live( no, no)
I've got a record in my bag,you should give it a spin
Put your hands in the air so that life can begin
(If God is a DJ, if God, say if God is a dj, if God
Then life is a dance floor)
Get your ass on the dance floor now!
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm,you are the music
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
You get what you're given it's all how you use it
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm,you are the music
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
You get what you're given it's all how you use it
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
Love is the rhythm,you are the music
If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor
You get what you're given it's all how you use it
Pink's song "If God is A DJ" is an energetic and uplifting anthem that promotes the idea that life is like a dance floor, and that love is the rhythm, with each individual being the music. The lyrics provide a sense of empowerment to listeners, as they encourage us to make the most of what we have been given and to create our own happiness. Through her musical expression, Pink emphasizes the importance of living life with an open mind, while also urging us to cast off negativity and embrace hope and joy.
The song's opening lyrics describe Pink’s sense of being an outsider, and feeling both love and hate from those around her. Despite this, she is able to see the world in a positive light, as if it were a candy store, and can easily brush off negativity with a "cigarette smile." Pink goes on to describe how she has learned to let go and enjoy the moment, highlighting the importance of living life to the fullest. In the chorus, she claims that "If God is a DJ, life is a dance floor," emphasizing the idea that we should all live life to the fullest, and that love and music should be the driving force in our lives.
The second verse of the song encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and embrace the moment, promoting individuality and self-expression. Pink urges us to find a sense of joy and hope in life, even when things seem difficult, and to hold on to moments of bliss when they come. The final refrain of the song repeats the chorus, reminding us to embrace life as if it were a dance floor, with love as the rhythm, and our individual selves as the music.

God is telling to live your life
His grace and mercy endures forever
We are the music
Singing to our own beat
Dancing on the sidewalk and the street
We go high and low like a musical note
Always want to do the most
No matter what happens
People of Christ will be happy clapping
MC JC we look up to thee
It’s so heavenly

Yeah this was only a minor hit looking back and is less remembered than some of her other hits on albums that followed or the preceding album to this one. It got medium rotation on mtv in early 04’ but quickly disappeared
