M!ssundaztood

Released in 2001 as P!nk's second studio album, M!ssundaztood marks a shift from the polished R&B of her debut toward a more pop rock and alternative rock sound while retaining elements of dance-pop and contemporary R&B. The record mixes punchy, guitar-driven tracks and uptempo pop with piano-led ballads and candid, confessional lyrics about identity and relationships. A prominent collaboration with songwriter and producer Linda Perry contributed to a rawer, more personal songwriting approach that helped define P!nk's transition into a pop-rock artist.
