Pink's first album, "Can't Take Me Home," saw the singer debut on the scene as an R&B artist, something she didn't want to continue being. During Pink's VH1 documentary "Behind The Music," she admitted she wanted to make more "timeless" music and didn't want to "repeat" herself with future material.
For Pink's 2001 sophomore album, "Missundaztood," she worked with 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry. When Pink came up with the idea to collaborate with Perry, her record executive, Antonio "L.A." Reid, wasn't crazy about the choice. However, Pink was adamant about reinventing herself and wasn't going to compromise. "Missundaztood" separated Pink from her earlier sound and was a lot rockier than her debut record. Reid was concerned that Pink would lose fans or that listeners wouldn't identify with her new persona. After handing in her album to her label, Pink explained in her documentary that Reid called her, saying, "OK, I'm going to give you the opportunity to fail," to which she replied, "Thank you, I can't wait."
Pink (pictured above at 23 years old) proved Reid wrong as "Missundaztood" morphed her into a global star. The new material helped the "There You Go" hitmaker gain and connect with fans as she had never done before. According to Chart Masters, "Missundaztood" was far from a failure and remains Pink's most successful album to date, selling more than 11.5 million copies worldwide.
