So What
Pink (P!nk) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na na na na na na na, I wanna start a fight
Na na na na na na na, I wanna start a fight

So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

Uh, check my flow, uh

The waiter just took my table
And gave to Jessica Simp- (shit!)
I guess I'll go sit with tomboy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
Then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight

Na na na na na na na, he's gonna start a fight
Na na na na na na na, we're all gonna get in a fight!

So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

You weren't there
You never were
You want it all
But that's not fair
I gave you love
I gave my all
You weren't there
You let me fall

So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

No, no,
No, no
I don't want you tonight
You weren't there
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight

Overall Meaning

In "So What," Pink sings about her newfound freedom after ending her relationship with her husband. She expresses her desire to start over and be reckless, demonstrated through her desire to start a fight and her refusal to pay her husband's rent. The chorus repeats the message of Pink's independence, as she claims she is still a rock star with or without her ex, and she is having more fun now that they are done. She even references her previous hits with lines such as "I got my rock moves," and asserts that she doesn't need her partner with lines like "I don't want you tonight." The song ends with Pink saying she is fine on her own and does not want anything to do with her ex anymore.


Pink said in an interview with the BBC that the song was about her divorce from Carey Hart and how she was feeling at the time. Hart, a motocross rider, appears in the music video for the song, where they are shown reconciling in the end. The video features Pink doing daring stunts, such as skydiving and crashing a lawnmower, to represent her newfound freedom. "So What" was Pink's first number-one single as a lead artist on the Billboard Hot 100 and was also a hit internationally.

@akunbalabal

the fact that her husband didn't know that this song is specially made for him, made me love pink more

@BirdDana

He did know. And she asked him to be in the video for it. I think it rekindled their marriage from what I remember
