P!nk | Dear. Mr. President (2007)
19 December 2007 // 1:29 PM
"Dear Mr. President" is a song that was recorded for Pink's fourth album, "I'm Not Dead." Pink said that the song is an open letter to the President of the United States and that it is one of the most important songs she has ever written. She stated that it would never be released as a single because it was too important to be perceived as a publicity stunt. Surprise surprise - it's since been released in Europe, Australia, Canada, and the UK.
In an interview with MTV News Pink stated she hoped Bush heard the song and that "[he] is proud of the fact that we live in a country where we can do things like that, where we can have dissent, talk, communicate and share our opinions." After she performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live on April 11, 2007, she thanked Jimmy Kimmel for letting her sing it, telling him that many radio station DJs had been told they couldn't discuss the track if she was a guest, and that she wasn't allowed to perform it on other U.S. television shows.
The single held the #1 spot on the Belgian Ultratop 50 Chart for four weeks, becoming the first download-only song to reach the top. It reached #1 in Austria, the Top 5 in Switzerland & Germany (where it was certified gold) and the Top 40 in the Netherlands and New Zealand.
