Although P!nk‘s latest effort, 2017’s ‘Beautiful Trauma,’ gifted her mega-first week sales, the set hasn’t exactly continued to fly off shelves.  Stalled under the “platinum” threshold in sales equivalence since its October release, in fact, beyond the LP’s lead single – ‘What About Us’ (#13 Hot 100 peak) – it has also failed to command another top 20 single.

With ‘Whatever You Want,’ her newest release from the Gold project, we’re certain she’s looking to change the tide.  Originally released last year as a buzz single, the tune’s been granted official status this week with the release of an accompanying performance music video. Giving fans a behind the scenes look at her hectic life over the past few months, we’re sure the clip – which dropped the same day her ‘Beautiful Trauma’ tour kicked off in Phoenix – is also meant to serve as an advert for the outing.
