Warning: The video in this article contains strong language

  • Pink has released the visuals for her latest single, Irrelevant.
  • The video is a politically charged statement that matches the lyrics of the protest track.
  • Proceeds from the track will be donated to Michelle Obama's nonpartisan voting initiative, When We All Vote.

Pink is back with her first music video in over a year, and she is tackling just about every central point of discussion in American politics today.

On Monday, the singer-songwriter released the visuals for her protest song Irrelevant, and in true Pink style, it is an anthem. It is also "a direct response to the compounding societal ills plaguing the United States, specifically the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade," per Billboard.

The video starts by showing public political figures such as Martin Luther King, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Barack Obama and many more. It then turns into flashes of the public protesting the Supreme Court's decision to overturn abortion rights.

The video also shows people speaking up in support of #MeToo, LGBTQIA+ rights, Black Lives Matter, and calls for an end to gun violence.

According to Billboard, proceeds from the track will be donated to former first lady Michelle Obama's nonpartisan voting initiative When We All Vote.

Pink said in a statement about the track: "As a woman with an opinion and the fearlessness to voice that opinion, it gets very tiring when the only retort is to tell me how irrelevant I am. I am relevant because I exist and because I am a human being. No one is irrelevant. And no one can take away my voice."
