Trouble (Pink Song)
"Trouble" is a song by American singer Pink for her third studio album, ''Try This'' (2003). Initially written by Tim Armstrong for his band Rancid, the song was re-written with Pink after it was brought to her attention. Produced by Armstrong, "Trouble" is a pop friendly punk-rock tune, that features a gritty and choppy guitar riff, with Pink describing it as a "fun song." Lyrically, it has the singer playing up on her bad-girl image, with her persona and anger promising unrest in her city. The song was released by Arista Records as the album's lead single on September 29, 2003. It earned largely positive reviews from music critics who ranked it among the standout tracks on its parent album, though some called the song "repetitive." Commercially, it became a top-10 hit in several countries, reaching the top five in Austria, Canada, Croatia, Norway, and Switzerland. In the United States, "Trouble" underperformed, peaking at number 68 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart. Sophie ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2003 Songs
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious and cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Hot Adult Contemporary
Adult contemporary music (AC) is a form of radio-played popular music, ranging from 1960s vocal and 1970s soft rock music to predominantly ballad-heavy music of the 1980s to the present day, with varying degrees of easy listening, pop, soul, R&B, quiet storm and rock influence. Adult contemporary is generally a continuation of the easy listening and soft rock style that became popular in the 1960s and 1970s with some adjustments that reflect the evolution of pop/rock music. Adult contemporary tends to have lush, soothing and highly polished qualities where emphasis on melody and harmonies is accentuated. It is usually melodic enough to get a listener's attention, abstains from profanity or complex lyricism, and is most commonly used as background music in heavily-frequented family areas such as supermarkets, shopping malls, convention centers, or restaurants. Like most of pop music, its songs tend to be written in a basic format employing a verse–chorus structure. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
