The Truth About Love is the sixth studio album by Pink, released in September 2012 on RCA Records and produced by Max Martin, Shellback, and Greg Kurstin. The album debuted at number one in multiple countries including the United States, marking the first time Pink had achieved a U.S. chart-topper. 'Blow Me (One Last Kiss)' and 'Just Give Me a Reason' (featuring Nate Ruess of fun.) both became major international hits, with the latter reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The record balances Pink's characteristic rock edge with polished pop production, reflecting both the maturity of her marriage reconciliation with Hart and her ongoing pop evolution. The Truth About Love sold over ten million copies worldwide, making it her commercial peak.
