"There You Go" is a song recorded by American singer Pink for her debut studio album, Can't Take Me Home (2000). The track was co-written by Pink, Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, and Kandi Burruss and was produced by Briggs, while Burruss produced the vocals. The song is about a relationship that the protagonist has ended, but the ex-boyfriend wants her back.

"There You Go" was released as the lead single from Can't Take Me Home on January 18, 2000, by LaFace Records and Arista Records to critical acclaim. It peaked at number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100, while peaking at numbers two and six in Australia and the United Kingdom, respectively. The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), selling 600,000 copies in the United States.

Critical reception[edit]

Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine called "There You Go" one of the highlights of Can't Take You Home.[2] Rob Brunner from Entertainment Weekly stated: "Briggs's 'There You Go' is remarkably similar to his hits for Destiny's Child ('Bills, Bills, Bills') and TLC ('No Scrubs') but minus the vocal interplay that gives those tunes their punch."[3] In their review of Can't Take Me Home, MTV Asia called the song one of the album's "edgy cuts" which had "the grooves needed to top the charts".[4] Rolling Stone was also positive, saying: "Her debut has one awesome single in 'There You Go', whose wronged-woman sass is set to a stop-start groove so bling-bling it redeems a chorus that ends, 'Sometimes it be's like that.'"[5] In 2013, Complex ranked the song at number 11 on their list "The Best R&B Songs by White Singers in the 2000s".[1]

Music video[edit]

The accompanying music video for "There You Go" was directed by Dave Meyers and debuted via The Box in late November 1999.[6] In the music video, Pink's ex-boyfriend Mikey calls her asking for a ride and she reluctantly agrees to give him one. She hops on a motorcycle and rides to the top of a parking structure overlooking his apartment, where she calls him. She then accelerates her motorcycle, jumps off the last second, and watches as it soars off the building and crashes into his apartment window before exploding into flames, burning the armchair and the PlayStation Mikey was playing on earlier in the video. Pink then jumps into a car driven by a new guy, giving Mikey the middle finger as they drive off. Entertainment Weekly described the video by saying: "In the video for 'There You Go' — her smash single — the piqued Pink freaks, sending a motorcycle crashing into Floyd's fab bachelor pad."[3]

In 2019, Pink confessed to being under the influence of marijuana while shooting the video, to the point she was unable to keep her eyes open, explaining that "Dave Meyers kept coming up to me and saying, 'Can you wait to smoke that next blunt before the beauty shot?' I was like, 'What do you mean?'. He was like, 'I really want you to be able to open your eyes.'"[7]
