Speaking to the Guardian, about the political themes in the album, ‘Beautiful Trauma’, P!nk, said: “I named the album Beautiful Trauma, because life is fucking traumatic. There’s natural disasters at every turn and there’s kids starving and there’s Trump and there’s all kinds of stuff going on, but there’s beautiful people in the world that are having a blast and being good to each other and helping others. Because I can be dark, I try to constantly remind myself that there’s more good than bad”. While the new album isn’t as politically charged as ‘Dear Mr President, it is, she explains, still rooted in what’s happening in the world right now.
