On This Day in Pink History… 28th August 2006, U+Ur Hand was released

Pink reportedly wanted “U + Ur Hand” to be the second single from I’m Not Dead, but “Who Knew” was released as the second and “U + Ur Hand” was instead released as the third. The single had success in Europe, reaching number ten in the UK, number four in Germany and number 11 in France; it peaked inside the top ten on the European Hot 100 Singles chart.

Pink wrote the song with Max Martin, Luke Gottwald, and Rami to mock the men who would flirt with her in clubs. The title refers to the line “looks like it’s just me and my hand tonight,” which was a phrase she’d heard guys using.

On This Day in Pink History… 6th August 2012, Pink was announced as the new face of Covergirl

Covergirl makeup has found its latest spokeswoman in an unlikely pop star — P!nk.

The fearless musician, who has defied traditional beauty standards in the past, is set to bring a different look to the makeup company, which has typically stuck to All-American spokeswomen for their brand. For example, P!nk’s fellow Covergirls include Taylor Swift, Ellen DeGeneres and Drew Barrymore, who are all noticably less risque than the “Stupid Girls” singer. But, that’s exactly what P!nk has joined Covergirl to do. Her campaign is set to celebrate “beauty with an edge.”

“P!nk is a powerful and provocative role model, who has always been an advocate of individualism and making no apologies for who you are. That combination of irreverence and integrity is exactly what the Covergirl brand loves about her and identifies with,” Esi Eggleston Bracey, VP and General Manager of Covergirl, said in a statement.

P!nk’s first print ad for a new Covergirl mascara has already been shot. The campaign is set to debut in fall of this year.
