70. Hurts 2B Human
Average score: 7.20
Highest score: 10x3 (@kal, @playboy69, @Music Is Life)
Lowest score: 3 (@happiestgirl)
My score: 9.5

Hurts 2B Human loses its gorgeous, contemporary title track - the duet with recent hit-maker Khalid. Helping lead the album to the top of the charts worldwide, it was released as the last promo single from the album and was accidentally leaked a week early - lucky me pounced on it immediately and fell in love at first play.

Not one for duets usually, this was actually one of a few from the album as P!nk apparently asked a bunch of artists she loved and... they said yes. Khalid's vocals are like silk to me, they could go with almost anything, and it's no different here. The two voices together are just heaven.

In hindsight HappiestGirl should have provided commentary because... they're the low scorer for almost everything and this album was tanked by them too. This does not deserve a 3.

Commentary corner:

@JMRGBY88: (9.5) gorgeous.

@Verandi: (4) From a collaboration like this I would have expected some originality. The lyric video is tragic too.

@P'NutButter: (8) Very chart friendly, but it's still a great song and two vocals work so well together.

@rick: (9) She’s really stepped up her collabs this era. Another great vocal.

@abael: (6) Pretty lacklustre, especially for the title track, all previous tracks had brought in new aspects for the album. This seems like a retread.

@Laurence: (6) Hmm, this is all just. Hurt 2B Human? So we all hurt? Not a fan of these lyrics. Coulda been a lot better but okay it's a Khalid feature so it gets eaten up? Well...

@Maki: (8.25) This sounded exactly as I predicted based on the song title, and I don't complain. It's a chill and cool song with traces of R&B. Perhaps the melody is a tiny bit too bland for me and the post-chorus is repetitive. I love the bridge/middle-8, it slightly reminded me of the one in "Just Give Me the Reason".

@R27: (3.5) What really hurts is that pink is using 2B instead of proper words in her song and album titles.
@savilizabeths: (6) “I don’t have a whole lot to say about this song. The production is pretty and the vocals are really nice as usual. The plucky strings on the bridge, the atmosphere on the chorus and Pink’s slightly raspy vocals in parts of the first verse are definitely the highlights. The post chorus is my least favourite part. It just feels kind of basic. Overall though, this is nice.”

My negative commentary wasn't especially well received in last years BPG, so I thought I might refrain this time around. And I think I've been low scorer for like seven or eight songs so far and I barely have any low scores left, so hopefully it should be lightening up!
 
This is a totally acceptable elimination, I think I even overscored the song slightly, but not what I expected to leave next.
It's a very good song, but too basic and doesn't have that something to stand out among her immense discography. I would've probably put it at #70 if I had ranked all of her songs, too.

Are you FUCKING kidding me? This is a gorgeous ballad duet that is the second best song on the album! The production just gets me every time, I love their vocals, they work extremely well together, and those lyrics hit me RIGHT in the heart. You all suck for this if you gave it less than a 7. But uh, @Lost Boy, I gave this a 10 as well.

Ooh we’ve found one of my first actual mistakes! It doesn’t move it up from the charts but it does become a 7.20 average!
 
I don't know. Hurts 2B Human sounds very current, but without P!nk trying to make it her own. Besides that, the cliched lyrics are a chore, and I usually like/don't mind her cheesy side. I think the song just operates on such a macro-level that it becomes too detached for me. Some songs with more grounded images (i.e., Crystal Ball) work better. There's a nice melody in there though, so my score of 6 shows that it's just an average song.
 
My two lowest remaining scores (if I'm not mistaken) going back-to-back!?!? My commentary was pretty facetious for "Hurts 2B Human," but I'm all seriousness the song drags along pretty aimlessly for me. Khalid is also pretty hit or miss for me; when he's on, such as "8teen," he's phenomenal, but when he's off his vocals are like gravol.

69. Run
Average score: 7.21
Highest score: 10 (@Sideout)
Lowest score: 4x3 (@soratami, @playboy69, @R27)
My score: 7

'Run' was written for P!nk's daughter, Willow, which is possibly the most adorable celebrity mother-daughter relationship I've ever seen. You'd think that it's Willow that features here but apparently it's a completely random little girl called Boyce Buchanan that Butch Walker roped in to help.

'Run' feels much like a sequel to 'Fucking Perfect', reflecting on the trauma's and pains that she has been through in an effort to never have Willow go through similar. It's an incredibly touching and sweet sentiment that is translated exceptionally well in the chorus, I find the verses are a little weaker but the Ruuuuuuun back to my arms! is a little gem of a visual.

Commentary corner:

@JMRGBY88: (9) I loved this when it was out originally but now it feels a bit…flat, production wise?

@Music Is Life: (9.5) This is a great song. I mean, it’s technically nothing special and doesn’t do anything new for her, but it’s still a really strong, beautiful song, with great lyrics about being there for someone, a great melody, especially on the middle-8, and full of great vocal moments from her, and some random girl. Seriously though, I really love this and hope it does well here.

@Maki: (9) This started off really promising, but didn't really go where I was hoping. Nonetheless, this is a lovely song and one of my favorite bonus tracks from "The Truth About Love". It has more of a classic feel than the most of the songs from the album, like it could've been a single. And the key change is a plus for sure. But I'm still not quite sure why that woman (who?) is singing before the final chorus.

@R27: (4) This is so bland.
@savilizabeths: (5) “This is a cute song. Nothing that stands out for me, but it’s really sweet and the young girls voice towards the end is a really nice and emotive touch.”

@Sprockrooster: (9) Quite a discovery. Such a gem stacked away on such a weak album.

@rick: (5) It’s just boring let’s be honest.

@abael: (6) A not-bad album track. Overly long in an overly long album.

@Laurence: (4.5)Meh

Wrong, this deserved better.
