"There You Go" was co-written by Pink, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs and Kandi Burruss. It was also produced by "She'kspere". The song is about a relationship that Pink has ended, but the ex-boyfriend wants Pink back.

Critical reception

Allmusic highlighted the song.[2] Rob Brunner compared: "Briggs's 'There You Go' is remarkably similar to his hits for Destiny's Child ('Bills, Bills, Bills') and TLC ('No Scrubs') but minus the vocal interplay that gives those tunes their punch."[3] MTV Asia wrote that this song is an edgy cut that haves all that it takes to top the charts.[4] Rolling Stone was also positive: "Her debut has one awesome single in 'There You Go', whose wronged-woman sass is set to a stop-start groove so bling-bling it redeems a chorus that ends, 'Sometimes it be's like that.'"[5] Complex magazine named it the 11th best R&B song by a white singer in the 2000s.[1]

Music video

The music video for song was directed by Dave Meyers and debuted at The Box in late November, 1999.[6] In the music video, Pink's ex-boyfriend Mikey calls her asking for a ride, and she reluctantly agrees to give him one. Pink hops on a motorcycle and rides to the top of a parking structure overlooking her ex's apartment, where she calls him on her cell. She then accelerates her motorcycle, jumps off at the last second, and watches as it soars off the building and crashes into his apartment window before exploding into flames, burning the armchair and the PlayStation (which Mikey was playing on earlier in the video). Pink then jumps into a car driven by a new guy, giving her ex the middle finger as they drive off. Entertainment Weekly described the video with the following: "In the video for 'There You Go' — her smash single — the piqued Pink freaks, sending a motorcycle crashing into Floyd's fab bachelor pad."[3]

In 2019 Pink confessed to being under the influence of marijuana while shooting the video, to the point she was unable to keep her eyes open, explaining that "Dave Meyers kept coming up to me and saying, 'Can you wait to smoke that next blunt before the beauty shot?' I was like, 'What do you mean?'. He was like, 'I really want you to be able to open your eyes.'"[7]
