Pink has returned with Beautiful Trauma, her first studio album in more than five years.
The Grammy-winning singer teased the project back in June, but didn’t reveal its title, cover art, or release date until early August. Since then, Pink has blessed fans with the singles "What About Us" and "Whatever You Want"; however, there was one other cut that generated a lot of buzz: "Revenge."
The song was originally included on the tracklist without any indication of a guest artist; but in the following month, a Taiwanese music store shared an updated version of the tracklist, which named Eminem as the feature on "Revenge." It was later confirmed that Shady did, in fact, make a cameo.
Pink spoke about Eminem’s guest appearance and how it came to be during a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times.
"We wrote the song (‘Revenge’), Johan, Max and I, and I wanted a rap Grammy. So I drank a lot of wine and I wrote a rap, and I was mediocrely impressed by my rap skills,” she said. "Then I went home and drank more wine, because that always sounds like a good idea, and I emailed Eminem and I said, 'I’ve loved you since you gave me your autograph in 2001 at the MTV Awards, and I’m gonna be a rapper now and you’re gonna rap with me.' And he wrote back and said 'OK.'"
It also appears there is a "Revenge" music video on the way.
Beautiful Trauma is available now on iTunes and Apple Music, or you can stream it below via Spotify.
Pink will launch her Beautiful Trauma World Tour on March 1, 2018, in Phoenix. The North American leg will include stops in Chicago, Toronto, NYC, and Atlanta, before concluding June 1 in Inglewood, California. You can learn more about the tour here.
