Pink announces new song 'Irrelevant': 'Woke up. Got heated.'
Pink had something up her sleeve when she sang what fans believed were lyrics to a new song on Monday.
They were right -- and it drops in a matter of hours.
The "So What" singer announced Wednesday that her new song "Irrelevant" will be released Thursday at 12 a.m. ET. She shared the lyrics to the new song in separate posts on Instagram and Twitter, which she had scribbled in black ink on a white napkin.
"Woke up. Got heated. Wrote song," she wrote in the captions.
The lyrics read, "I think it might rain today/ Ash on the ground/ Took all the heat we could take/ And then burned it down." Another picture shows the song's title written on the other side of the napkin, with the hastily-written words digging into and tearing into the delicate fabric.
Pink first began teasing her new track on Monday, via a black and white video clip showing her singing another handful of lyrics. "You can call me irrelevant, insignificant/ You can try to make me small," she sang before she launching into a series of "dah, dah, dahs."
The Grammy winner posted the original video Monday after tangling with online critics upset that she had instructed abortion rights opponents to never listen to her music again. She had made that comment in a tweet in June, shortly after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had guaranteed a woman's constitutional right to an abortion previously.
Since then, Pink has reportedly received countless hateful messages, with some individuals purportedly saying her career is over and demanding she stay out of politics, as her job is to sing and entertain.
With so many people telling her to basically "shut up and sing," Pink went and did just that.
This isn't the first time the "Just Like Fire" singer shared a similar message to her haters. Earlier this month, she posted an Instagram story explaining that their words mean nothing to her.
"Telling me I'm irrelevant and that my kids are ugly doesn't move my needle," she had said.
Then, a few days later, she returned to Twitter to show that she's maliciously complying with her haters' demands to focus only on her career.
"When they tell you to 'shut up and sing'... OK then," she tweeted and shared a snap of a microphone and piano. She added the hashtags, #myfavoriteview" and "#thisismylanetoo."
