Songfacts®:

  • Pink collaborated with Eminem on this party song. The singer revealed to Australia's Herald Sun that the pair decided to collaborate organically without fussing over contracts and just entered the studio to record the track. "He said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' 'F--k yeah!' I said, 'Do you want to do a song with me?' and he said, 'F--k yeah!' Handshake. Nothing signed. Done," she recalled.
