She also said that she did not want the album to look like a break-up album "There is a lot of that, but there is fun happening too and that's why I named it Funhouse in the end." Pink has also stated that she sees life as a carnival: " Clowns are supposed to be happy, but they are really scary. Originally, Pink wanted to call her album Heartbreak Is a Motherfucker, but her record label declined because of a fear that offensive language would affect sales. "That song is also about losing control and how easy it is to lose the plot in life and teeter on the edge." "One Foot Wrong" talks about an acid trip that went wrong, but also has an underlying theme.
"Ave Mary A" deals with world issues and problems. "How do I feel so good with just me, without anyone to lean on?", Pink said in an interview. Eventually it had nothing to do with alcohol but with identities. She went to the beach and had a line in her head saying "How do I feel so good sober?". The track " Sober", which is the album's second single, was written by Pink at a party hosted at her home, where everyone was drunk or drinking except for her, and she wanted them all to leave. She proclaims in the lyrics "I conjure up the thought of being gone, but I'd probably even do that wrong." In "Glitter in the Air", Pink asks many questions such as, "Have you ever looked fear in the face and said I just don't care?", and "Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?" Pink admits, "I still don't have some of the answers to the questions I pose on this record. In "It's All Your Fault", Pink blames her lover for giving her hopes of a love relationship, then simply giving up on her. President" and "I'm Not Dead" (all 2006), among others. I just love that song and I loved recording it." She wrote the song with Billy Mann, who also aided her with the songs " Stupid Girls", " Dear Mr. It was all about a vibe and not about perfection or being polished. She said about the track: "I recorded it in one take and we didn't mix it. The song that Moore is the most proud of is "Crystal Ball". The artist sums up its theme thus: "Okay, I'm an asshole, but love me anyway." In "Mean", she sings, "It was good in the beginning/but how did we get so mean?" "Please Don't Leave Me" also addresses the split. The first single, "So What", opens with: "I guess I just lost my husband/I don't know where he went". Much of the album's subject matter alludes to the fact that Moore had recently separated from her husband, Carey Hart. Pink has stated that this album is her most vulnerable to date. Funhouse was re-released in late 2009 to include a bonus DVD, and was accompanied by the release of Funhouse Tour: Live in Australia, a live album taped during Pink's Australian leg of the Funhouse Tour. Funhouse earned Pink three Grammy Award nominations and five MTV Video Music Award nominations. Singles from the album include the international number-one single " So What", " Sober", " Please Don't Leave Me", " Funhouse", " I Don't Believe You", and " Glitter in the Air". Funhouse has sold 7 million copies worldwide. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 180,000 copies in its first week and reached number one on the charts in seven countries including Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
