I Don’t Believe You.
The single was released on October 5th 2009 as Pink’s fifth worldwide single on her fifth studio album (Funhouse). It was recorded, under LaFace records, in 2008 and has been included in the soft rock, pop rock and pop music genres. It is 4:36 on the album version and 3:50 on the ‘new radio edit’. The writer’s were Alecia Moore and Max Martin (who was also producer). Wikipedia: “Pink explained on her website that, lyrically, the song is about pleading for reconciliation, and is her favourite song from Funhouse "because it's just so naked. It's like taking a deep breath and saying, 'Here I am. Take me. Take your best shot'.
The music video for "I Don't Believe You", directed by Sophie Muller, was shot in September 2009 in Los Angeles, California. The music video premiered on October 2009. The video is in black and white, it features Pink in the wedding dress she wore to her actual wedding to Carey Hart in 2006, and a diamond encrusted wedding gown as she searches for her lover, to no avail. Scenes include her lying down in the dress, rollerblading around what appears to be the inside of a church (The Los Angeles Theater), singing to an empty wedding dinner room, crying over an empty wedding album and singing to herself in front of the mirror.”
The single sold 600,000 worldwide, it had the lowest peak in the UK and failed to reach the Top 40, due to the single being cancelled and the lack of promotion. In the US the track sold 115,000+ in digital downloads; but failed to chart on the Billboard Top 100. It was number 23 in Australia and was the number-one most added track to the radio on its debut week of release. In Europe the single reached Top 40 in most countries. Its highest peak was in Portugal where the song reached number 1.
