I'm Not Dead
''I'm Not Dead'' is the fourth studio album by the American recording artist and songwriter Pink. The album was released on April 4, 2006 through LaFace Records to coincide the same release date of Pink's first album, ''Can't Take Me Home''.
The album helped renew interest in Pink's music after a three-year break which followed the poor commercial and critical performances of her previous album, ''Try This''. Originally titled ''Long Way to Happy'', a song on the album, and scheduled for release on September 20, 2005, the album was delayed several months. Its title was changed to ''I'm Not Dead'', also a song on the album, in order to match the comeback nature of the album, and its heavy tone in terms of lyrical content, strong language and edgy sound. ''I'm Not Dead'' is primarily a pop rock album, but includes country, alternative rock and R&B influences.
The release of ''I'm Not Dead'' was preceded by its controversial lead single, "Stupid Girls", a top 20 hit on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 the video of which earned Pink an MTV Video Music Award. The single "U + Ur Hand," reached the top ten and became a significant chart success, reviving the album's sales fortunes in the U.S., leading to a platinum certification from the RIAA for sales of one million.〔http://pinkhistoryofficial.com/page/2/v〕 Who Knew subsequently was re-released to critical and commercial acclaim.〔http://www.mtv.com/artists/alecia-moore/biography/〕 The two songs are also Pink's first two singles to achieve Platinum certifications. Subsequent regional singles include "Nobody Knows", "Leave Me Alone (I'm Lonely)" and "Dear Mr. President". A Platinum Edition of the album was issued with bonus tracks, remixes and a DVD.
==Background==
Pink said she titled the album ''I'm Not Dead'' because "It's about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up even though people would like you to."〔("Pink: Singing With Dad Was 'Awesome'" ). CBS News. July 12, 2006. Retrieved March 30, 2007.〕 She said it came from "the awakening" and how "it felt good to feel again ... I turned twenty-five and I just kind of woke up and realized I have so much to learn, whereas before I thought I knew everything. That's definitely a huge part of that title."〔Kalow, Natalie. ("P!nk 'I'm not dead' Interview" ). GenerationQ. Retrieved May 31, 2007.〕 According to Pink, she did not expect to be very emotionally involved in the making of the album because the experience of making her last, ''Try This'' (2003), was "draining", but that she was "forced to be almost emotionally involved" by her collaborators, such as Billy Mann. "I guess I was just kind of at that place where I felt like I kind of had something to add to the world", she said. "I feel like there's a hole and I know how to fill it, people aren't talking trash anymore. I was just feeling really creative and really emotionally available again, and it came out great."〔 According to her, she wrote more than forty songs for the album on "everything I could possibly think of."〔McLean, Craig. ("Pink: The outspoken pop star on fame and growing up" ). ''The Independent''. March 25, 2006. Retrieved March 30, 2007.〕 On December 4, 2007, an edition of the album titled ''I'm Not Dead: Platinum Edition'' was released.〔("I'm Not Dead (Deluxe Edition)" ). Amazon.com. Retrieved November 7, 2007.〕
