"There You Go" is a 1999 song co-written and performed by American singer-songwriter Pink. It was her debut single from her debut album Can't Take Me Home. The song peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, number two on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and number six on the UK Singles Chart.
"There You Go" was written by Pink, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs and Kandi Burruss. It was also produced by "She'kspere". The song is about a relationship that Pink has ended, but the ex-boyfriend wants Pink back.
The single was also a big hit in Australia, and was accredited Platinum with sales of over 70,000.
Critical reception
Allmusic highlighted the song.[2] 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."[3] MTV Asia wrote that this song is an edgy cut that haves all that it takes to top the charts.[4] 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.'"[5] Complex magazine named it the 11th best R&B song by a white singer in 2000s.[6]
Music video
In the music video, Pink's ex-boyfriend calls her asking for a ride, and she reluctantly agrees to give him one. Pink hops on a motorcycle and rides to the top of a parking structure overlooking her ex's apartment, where she calls him on her cell. She then accelerates her motorcycle, jumps off at the last second, and watches as it soars off the building and crashes into his apartment window before exploding into flames. Pink then jumps into a car driven by a new guy, giving her ex the middle finger as they drive off. Entertainment Weekly described the video with the following: "In the video for 'There You Go' — her smash single — the piqued Pink freaks, sending a motorcycle crashing into Floyd's fab bachelor pad."[3]
