“Chiquitita” is a girl’s name, and the lyrics are about a best friend encouraging her.

It’s a song by ABBA released in January 1979.

It really touches the heart when you listen to it at times when a friend seems a bit down, but when you yourself are feeling depressed, unmotivated for no particular reason, or have experienced something sad that you can’t tell anyone about, it can truly make you cry…

P!nk – F**kin’ Perfect (Official Video – Explicit)

Speaking of Pink, she’s a singer-songwriter beloved not only for her electrifying performances and outspoken candor, but also for her tough, big-sister persona.

The track introduced here was released as a single from her 2010 greatest hits album, “Greatest Hits… So Far!!!,” and climbed to No.

2 on the charts in her home country, the United States.

Despite a characteristically provocative title that’s very Pink, the lyrics are deeply serious.

It’s a message to everyone who feels life is hard, and it carries special weight precisely because she has stayed true to herself and kept fighting.

If someone you care about is feeling stuck and struggling, please tell them about this song—one that will powerfully reassure them that they are perfect just as they are.
