On This Day in Pink History… 11th November 2003, Try This was released
Try This is Pink’s third studio album released in November 2003 and was her final album released under Arista Records. Most of the tracks were produced and co-written by Rancid singer and guitarist Tim Armstrong, who Pink met at a Transplants video shoot. They ended up co-writing ten songs in a week when the Transplants were on tour with the Foo Fighters. Linda Perry also worked with Pink for Try This, and the album includes a collaboration with Peaches.
In 2006, Pink said that she was unhappy with the way the record label wanted her to make an album straight after the success of Missundaztood. She described the promotional campaign for the album as “an awful time. I was walking out of half my interviews crying. I just felt they were putting a quarter in the slot to watch the monkey dance.”
“I was kind of rebelling against the label on that one,” she said. “I was going: ‘You want a record? Fine, I’ll write 10 songs in a week for your fuckin’ record and you can press it up and put it out.'”
Despite being Pink’s lowest selling album, Try This debuted at number nine on the US Billboard 200, and also reached the top ten on album charts in the UK (3), Canada (8), Australia (8) and Germany (2)
There were four singles released from Try This:
In 2004, Pink embarked on the Try This Tour in Europe and Australia to support the album. The show was recorded at Manchester Arena for her first live DVD.

The Try This Tour was an explosive spectacle that left audiences in awe. P!nk, the undeniable force of nature, embarked on a mission to blow minds and she did not disappoint. Brace yourselves for the sheer audacity of her performance as she embarked on a journey to support her game-changing album Try This. From the moment she took the stage, P!nk commanded attention with her mesmerizing vocals and undeniable stage presence. Each act was a sensory overload, pushing the boundaries of what a concert experience could be. With a daring pink Mohican, a fiery red leather jacket, and a jaw-dropping acoustic act in a captivating blue, red, and white dress, P!nk proved once again that she’s not here to play it safe. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any more exhilarating, she took flight during the grand finale, belting out “Get The Party Started” from the heavens above. The Try This Tour was a rebellious triumph, cementing P!nk’s status as the epitome of fearless artistry. Proceed with caution, for this tour will leave an indelible mark on your senses.
During the performance of “Lady Marmalade”, Pink imitated Christina Aguilera and sang lines from Aguilera’s song “Beautiful”. For the DVD release, this segment was branded with a “CENSORED” mark and the audio was modulated so the viewer could not decipher the lyrics.
Pink’s first live DVD release, P!nk: Live in Europe, was released in 2006. The show was recorded in Manchester, UK, on 26th March 2004.
The Tour kicked off in arenas across Europe in February 2004, before heading over to Australia. Pink then headed back to Europe in Summer 2004 for festivals and outdoor shows.
