Pink has defended the controversial music video for her latest single 'F**kin' Perfect'.
The singer took to her website to explain the clip, which features a sex scene and a girl cutting her wrists in a bath.
She said: "I'm sure my newest video for 'F**kin' Perfect' will be much like some of my other videos, which basically means I expect it will ruffle some feathers... I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may p*ss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion [and] that is my intention.
"Cutting, and suicide - two very different symptoms of the same problem - are gaining on us... A lot of us have seen certain starlets showing off their latest scars on a red carpet somewhere, usually right before they head back to their favourite rehab.
"It's a problem, and it's something we should talk about. We can choose to ignore the problem, and therefore ignore this video, but that won't make it go away. I don't support or encourage suicide or cutting. I support the kids out there... I want them to know I'm aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that's all it takes."
