Missundaztood was produced by Linda Perry and Scott Storch, with mixing split across Dave "Hard Drive" Pensado (most tracks), Dave Way (tracks 2, 6, 12), and Kevin "KD" Davis (track 3), and mastered by Herb Powers Jr. at Hit Factory Mastering in New York. A complete artistic reinvention, it was Pink's first collaboration with Linda Perry, who co-wrote and produced the album's most personal tracks. It sold 12 million copies worldwide and produced four Hot 100 top-20 singles: "Get the Party Started" (#4), "Don't Let Me Get Me" (#8), "Just Like a Pill" (#8), and "Family Portrait" (#20). At the 45th Grammy Awards (2003), it received nominations for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Get the Party Started."
Missundaztood is the second studio album by Pink, released in November 2001 on LaFace Records / Arista Records and produced primarily by Linda Perry and Scott Storch. The album marked a dramatic artistic transformation, moving away from R&B toward a harder-edged pop-rock sound with confessional, emotionally raw lyrics that established Pink's enduring identity as an honest, rebellious voice. 'Get the Party Started,' 'Just Like a Pill,' and 'Don't Let Me Get Me' all became major international hits, helping the album sell over twelve million copies worldwide. Linda Perry's production gave the record a raw guitar-driven energy that distinguished it sharply from the polished pop dominating the charts at the time. Missundaztood is widely regarded as Pink's breakthrough masterpiece and one of the defining pop albums of the early 2000s.
