P!nk – Just Give Me A Reason ft. Nate Ruess

This is a song from P!nk’s “The Truth About Love,” and she’s a cool, inspiring woman you could look up to.

Love has its good times and bad, but it’s wonderful if you have someone who makes you think, “I want to spend my life with this person!” It’s a song for a slightly more mature couple that makes you want to face your loved one properly and walk forward together.

Wearing expensive, stylish clothes but looking just like everyone else can be dull, right? What seems like a simple, hype party song actually makes you want to own your own style.

And the punchline at the end seals the deal!
