P!nk’s poignant new ballad When I Get There is for anyone who’s lost a loved one
P!nk has paid tribute to her late father, Jim Moore, who sadly passed away in 2021. The opening track for her forthcoming ninth studio album Trustfall, When I Get There is a moving piano ballad in which the star awaits reuniting with her dad in the afterlife. “Іѕ thеrе а bаr uр thеrе whеrе уоu’vе gоt а fаvоrіtе сhаіr, where you sit with friends and talk about the weather?” P!nk sings. “Is there a place you go to watch the sunset and oh, is there a song you just can’t wait to share? “Yeah, I know you’ll tell me when I get there.” P!nk memorably collaborated with her father on I Have Seen the Rain, which was included on her fourth album I’m Not Dead.

When I Get There has been met with overwhelmingly praise from fans, who used the song’s release to reflect on their own experiences with loss. “Everything and nothing makes me think of my dad, but very few people can put it in words like this,” wrote one listener.
Another said: “This is everything my heart has needed since my dad passed, thank you.” On social media, P!nk said of the track: “Sometimes love leaves us too soon.
On Valentine’s Day – I cherish the love I have that I can touch – and the love I have in my heart for those who have gone on to the next adventure.
