If anyone thinks that Pink has mellowed out, think again.
The 33-year-old singer-songwriter, whose real name is Alecia Moore, opened up to Glamour‘s June issue about her latest album, The Truth About Love, particularly the number of sex-related songs on the record. She looks gorgeous in these photos. Here are some highlights from the interview.
GLAMOUR: And now you’re a “fuckin’ rock star.”
PINK: I believe there’s 31 flavors to be tasted.… I’m just living my life. I don’t want to be your kind of good.“
GLAMOUR: Speaking of good, you’ve got lots of sex songs on this last album. There’s “Slut Like You” and “Walk of Shame.”
PINK: Oh, yeah. I’m a reformed slut.
GLAMOUR: Slut is a big word in the Pink glossary.
PINK: It’s my very unsophisticated way of taking the power back. I’ve always had an issue with [the idea that]: “OK, we’ve both decided to do this. Why am I a slut and you’re the player? You didn’t get anything from me that I didn’t get from you.”

GLAMOUR: OK, Mama Bear. Every new parent has bad days. What was your worst so far?
PINK: When I was at iHeartRadio [music festival] in Vegas. Carey was at a truck race or something. Willow and I were at the pool, and I was taking her to nap time. She was walking just a foot in front of me. And she trips and falls and gets a concussion. She passed out. Cut to an ambulance and fire truck. And a CAT scan. She was about a year old. That was the worst day of my life. And what do they say? “Kids fall.” Welcome to parenthood. I thought, I can’t handle this. I’m fitting her for a bubble.
GLAMOUR: It’s surprising to hear you talking about fear because your persona is so fearless.
PINK: Every time she bounces on the bed, I see stitches. Being a parent is a Jedi mind f–k. It’s also the raddest thing ever.
GLAMOUR: You know, you cuss a lot. How do you deal around her? Are you worried?
PINK: Willow said, “Fuckin’ hi,” the other day. I’m like, “Fuck!”
