U + Ur Hand

9.2

 

 

In at number two on the Rate, U + Ur Hand with 9.2!

 

"U + Ur Hand" is a song by Pink, and was the third single released from her fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006). It was one of the five album tracks that leaked onto the internet in July 2005. "U + Ur Hand" was released as a single in Europe, Australia and other selected countries on August 28, 2006. The song is credited with re-energizing sales of I'm Not Dead in the U.S.

Pink wrote the song with Luke Gottwald, Max Martin and Rami. According to an interview in the documentary "Making of the U + Ur Hand Video", she always found it irritating when boys were riding on her when she is dancing in a club: "When you turn a boy down in a club you are automatically a lesbian, according to them". She heard a boy once say "Oh well it's just me and my hand tonight" after a girl turned him down. Pink found that funny and started to write a song about it.

The song caused controversy in the U.S. because of its allegedly "racy" references to masturbation, and consequently some radio stations refused to play it. Pink and her publicist stated that she wasn't allowed to sing "U + Ur Hand" on the U.S. television show American Idol because of such references. She was asked to change the title and lyric to "U + Ur Heart", but she reportedly said, "You want me to rewrite my song for you. For American f***ing Idol? ... what does that even mean, how do you have sex with your heart?". She performed "Who Knew" instead.

Pink reportedly wanted "U + Ur Hand" to be the second single from I'm Not Dead, but "Who Knew" was released as the second and "U + Ur Hand" was instead released as the third. The single had success in Europe, reaching number ten in the United Kingdom, number four in Germany and number eleven in France; it peaked inside the top ten on the European Hot 100 Singles chart. In Australia the song peaked at number five on the ARIA Singles Chart and is certified gold for sales of 35,000 copies. It was ranked at number twenty-five on ARIA's Top 100 Singles of 2006.

It was released to radio in the United States on October 30. In January 2007 "U + Ur Hand" debuted on the Hot 100 at number ninety-four, and it peaked at number nine. It was the most successful single from I'm Not Dead in the U.S., and her highest charting song since "Just like a Pill" (2002). "U + Ur Hand" peaked at number twenty-four on the Canadian Hot 100, in the first edition of the chart provided by Billboard.

Billboard magazine credited the single with causing an increase in the U.S. sales of I'm Not Dead, which returned to the Billboard 200 albums chart in the same period the single entered the Hot 100. The album later re-entered the top 100 on the strength of "U + Ur Hand" and a resurgence of interest in "Who Knew". According to Tom Carraba, Zomba Label Group general manager and executive vice president of sales and marketing, the "patience" of radio stations, the "great" music video for the single and Pink's participation in Justin Timberlake's FutureSex/LoveShow tour was responsible for the increase in popularity of "U + Ur Hand", which consequently led to renewed interest in the album. Carraba said the single "is the vehicle that will reignite the U.S. marketplace. We think we have a number-one record on our hands." One program director at the radio station WBBM-FM attributed the success of the single to its appeal to women, calling it "a female anthem" and "very fitting to people who are sick of getting hit on by guys at the club, and want to give them a nice buzz off ... it's relevant to what's going on with young people".

Rolling Stone said in their review of I'm Not Dead that Pink "sets a proudly bitchy tone in the song", and All Music Guide described Pink as "taunting and teasing" in "U + Ur Hand". British newspaper The Guardian wrote, "the pithy put-downs of "U + Ur Hand" make bearable the sudden shift from classy beats to lumpen power pop".

 

Music Video

Pink shot videos for "U + Ur Hand" and "Stupid Girls" at the same time, before the decision was made to release the latter as the first single from I'm Not Dead. Dave Meyers directed both videos. The "U + Ur Hand" video was shot in Sun Valley, California, at the Haziza Gallery in Los Angeles, at La Center Studios and at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California in December 2005. Pink stated that in the "U + Ur Hand" video she was "glammed" up and that it took four hours of make-up and one hour of shooting for every different look in the video. She said she wanted it to be "a colorful video". The outfit that Pink was wearing in the bedroom scene consisted of pieces of black lace that was imported from France and cost US$300 per yard of the fabric. The actor in the tea garden scene is Tristan Castro. The music video for "U + Ur Hand" premiered on Canada's MuchMusic network on July 18, 2006, and was released in Europe at the end of August. In the United States it premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on September 29 as the "First Look" for that day. The video reached number one on TRL six days after its debut, Pink's second video to reach the top on the countdown after the video for her 2003 single "Trouble".

The video features Pink posing as several of New Zealand artist Martin Emond's characters, including "Baby Red Knuckles", "Rocker Bikerboy" and "Hard Candy". In the video she has six different looks. During the video, Pink is shown reading a book is with pictures of each scene that follows. Pink's character is named "Lady Delish". The use of these characters was uncredited and unauthorised. At the time of the video release, Illicit Streetwear and the Martin F. Emond estate were reviewing their options to take action.

Who Knew

9.8

 

The Winner of the I'm Not Dead Buzzjack Rate is Who Knew with 9.8 :cheer:

 

Who Knew" is a pop-rock song written by Luke Gottwald, Max Martin and Pink for Pink's fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006). It was released as the album's second single worldwide in 2006, and was re-released to U.S. radio as the album's fourth single in the United States in 2007, after the success of "U + Ur Hand".

 

Pink has stated that "Who Knew" is about "the death of friendship. You're best friends forever, and then three years later you haven't seen each other in two years — what happened? You grow apart and people come in and out of your life for different reasons, seasons." She said in an interview with The Observer that the song was written about friends who died as a result of drug overdoses. According to her, the song is about more than one person: "There's a couple different people mixed in ... It's just the grieving process. You can look at somebody, he might be right there, and the next Monday he might not be." In an interview with the television station TV3 she said that "...[she] always wanted to write a song about death because [she] came in contact with death at a very young age".

Billboard magazine, in its second review of the song (to accompany the U.S. re-release), called it "another cool, smart, plenty passionate melodic jewel about the death of a friend and/or friendship, with an instantly identifiable, quick-to-the-point, singalong track—maintaining Pink's stance as the smartest female millennium-era singer/songwriter, dazzling in star quality as alterna-pop's premier princess."

The song features acoustic guitar, keyboards, drums, and electric guitars. Gottwald, Martin and Pink co-wrote another song on the album, "U + Ur Hand".

 

It was released as the album's second single in 2006 and was very popular in Australia, where it reached number two on the ARIA Singles Chart and is certified platinum for sales of over 70,000 copies. It was ranked at number nine on ARIA's Top 100 singles of 2006. In the United Kingdom the single was also popular, reaching number five; it is Pink's longest running single on the UK Singles Chart, spending twenty-six weeks on the chart. The single made the top ten in a number of other countries in Europe, and it peaked at number eight on the United World Chart.

When the single was originally released in North America, "Who Knew" was less successful. Though it peaked at number nineteen on the BDS Airplay Chart in Canada, it was virtually ignored by American radio. In the U.S., where it was released to mainstream radio on May 8, 2006, it failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, initially reaching number 18 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart (which comprises the most popular songs yet to enter the Hot 100). Billboard magazine credited the poor performance of the single on radio with significantly reducing momentum of initial sales of I'm Not Dead.

In March 2007 the song was used in promotion for the ABC television show October Road, after which download sales of the song increased; as a result, it debuted at number ninety-five on the Hot 100 at the end of the month. During the same period, "U + Ur Hand", the third single from I'm Not Dead, had achieved major success on pop radio and was credited with "reviving" Pink's career in the U.S. Pink performed "Who Knew" on the May 9, 2007 episode of American Idol. It was re-released to mainstream radio in the United States on June 26, 2007, although it had already been receiving minor airplay on CHR/top 40 and hot AC/adult top 40 stations earlier in the month. In week twenty-five of 2007 "Who Knew" re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number ninety-four; it has since climbed to number nine, giving Pink her eighth top ten single on the chart and matching the peak position of "U + Ur Hand".

 

The single's video was directed by Dragon, a team comprising Sam Bayer, Robert Hales and Brian Lazzaro. It was filmed in the weekend beginning April 15, 2006 in Los Angeles, United States, and it was released to the internet and to UK music channels in early May 2006. The video reached number one on MTV Germany's top ten and on TRL Italy. "Who Knew" was voted number one on TRL Germany twenty times, allowing Pink to earn the "Golden Tape". In the U.S. Total Request Live broadcast a "First Look" of the video on May 22, and it debuted on the show's top ten countdown the following day; it spent eight non-consecutive days on the countdown (until June 9), peaking at number seven.

It features a young couple visiting a fairground and going on the rides, and at one point the boy puts a necklace on the girl. The video flashes back to the boy secretly injecting himself with drugs on a previous night while the girl is sleeping. At the carnival, when the girl is playing a game, the boy walks away. The girl realizes he's gone and follows him, but when she tries to get him to stay with her he gets violent. He goes to the back of the fairground to inject himself with drugs and breaks into a sweat. His girl wanders around looking for him, and finds him unconscious; he has taken an overdose. She gives him a kiss, gives back the necklace and phones for an ambulance; after it has arrived, she walks away crying. The video is intercut with shots of Pink singing the song at the entrance to the fairground and, later, underwater.
