The album has a score of 69 out of 100 from Metacritic based on 20 "generally favorable" reviews. No phones," P!nk said of her sessions outside the US.įunhouse received generally positive reviews from critics. "It was really good to get out of my house and get away from my life. "The good thing now is that different countries want extra songs and B-sides, so there's always a home for the other kids." P!nk traveled internationally to write and record the album, working with Eg White in London and with Max Martin in Stockholm. "It's like getting rid of your children: 'I like that one too, but I'm going to let that one die,'" she said of choosing the album's tracks. P!nk wrote and recorded approximately 30 to 35 songs for Funhouse. "It's about when the box you’re in doesn’t fit anymore, burn that fucker down and start a new one." It's a metaphor for being in love and for life." This also shows in the title track " Funhouse" where she tells that it used to be fun. And the funhouse mirrors that make you look so distorted that you don’t recognize yourself and you ask yourself, ‘How did I get here? How do I get out of here?’ But, you think that you want to do it again. Love is supposed to be fun, but it can sometimes be really scary. Carnivals are supposed to be fun, but really they are kind of creepy." "and that's like life to me, and love. She also said that she did not want the album to look like a break-up album "There is a lot of that, but there is fun happening too and that's why I named it Funhouse in the end." P!nk has also stated that she sees life as a carnival: "Clowns are supposed to be happy, but they are really scary. Originally, P!nk wanted to call her album Heartbreak Is a Motherfucker, but her record label declined because of a fear that offensive language would affect sales. "That song is also about losing control and how easy it is to lose the plot in life and teeter on the edge." " One Foot Wrong" talks about an acid trip that went wrong, but also has an underlying theme. " Ave Mary A" deals with world issues and problems. "How do I feel so good with just me, without anyone to lean on?" P!nk said in an interview. She went to the beach and had a line in her head saying "How do I feel so good sober?" Eventually it had nothing to do with alcohol, but with identities. The track " Sober," which is the album's second single, was written by P!nk at a party hosted at her home, where everyone was drunk or drinking except for her, and she wanted them all to leave. She proclaims in the lyrics "I conjure up the thought of being gone, but I’d probably even do that wrong." In " Glitter in the Air," P!nk asks many questions such as, "Have you ever looked fear in the face and said I just don’t care?" and "Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?" P!nk admits, "I still don’t have some of the answers to the questions I pose on this record. In " It's All Your Fault," P!nk blames her lover for giving her hopes of a love relationship, then simply giving up on her. President," and " I'm Not Dead" (all 2006), among others. I just love that song and I loved recording it." She wrote the song with Billy Mann, who also aided her with the songs " Stupid Girls," " Dear Mr. It was all about a vibe and not about perfection or being polished.
The artist sums up its theme thus: "Okay, I’m an asshole, but love me anyway." In " Mean," she sings, "It was good in the beginning/but how did we get so mean?" The song that Moore is the most proud of is " Crystal Ball." She said about the track: "I recorded it in one take and we didn’t mix it. The first single, " So What," opens with: "I guess I just lost my husband/I don't know where he went." " Please Don't Leave Me" also addresses the split.
Much of the album's subject matter alludes to her recent separation from husband Carey Hart. P!nk has stated that this album is her most vulnerable to date.
