Background
In 1995, Pink and two other teenage girls, Sharon Flanagan and Chrissy Conway, formed the R&B group Choice. A copy of their first song, "Key to My Heart", was sent to LaFace Records in Atlanta, Georgia, where L.A. Reid overheard it and arranged for the group to fly there so he could see them perform. Afterward, he signed them to a recording contract with the label. The group relocated to the label's then-headquarters in Atlanta to record an album. Despite it failing to see a commercial release, their song "Key to My Heart" appeared on the soundtrack to the 1996 film Kazaam. During a Christmas party, Reid gave Pink an ultimatum: "go solo or go home." Choice subsequently disbanded in 1998.[1]
Sonically, Can't Take Me Home is a dance-pop[3][4] and R&B[5] record. In terms of its sound, it received comparison with the works of TLC, especially their 1999 record FanMail — both albums share same team of producers and L.A. Reid as the executive producer.[3] Recording sessions for the album took place in Unique Recording Studios, New York City.[6]Can't Take Me Home was produced by Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs, Babyface, Kandi Burruss, Terence "Tramp Baby" Abney, Daryl Simmons, and Tricky. Pink co-wrote seven out of thirteen tracks on the album. Lyrically, the main themes of the record are love and relationship.[7]
Songs
The album opens with "Split Personality", a "schizoid" track, where Pink sings about her mental condition: ”You don’t know me well enough to label me sick, or even disturbed / When you break it down I’m just two girls / Everybody’s got insanities / I got a split personality.”[7] "Let Me Let You Know" is an "affecting ballad", where Pink uses "Mariah Carey warbling."[5] "There You Go" was found similar to "Bills Bills Bills" by Destiny's Child and "No Scrubs" by TLC with its theme about female empowerment and independence,[8][9] which are being touched once again in "Most Girls".[10]
"There You Go" was released as the lead single from the album on January 18, 2000.[14] Following its release, it received positive receptions from the music critics, who called it "edgy".[10] It first entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart on the issue dated March 4, at the twenty fifth spot.[15] Six weeks later it peaked at number seven.[15] Additionally, it peaked at number 2 on the Dance/Club Songs[16] and the Pop Songs charts,[16] and number 4 on the Rhythmic radio chart.[16] It was certified Gold by RIAA for shipment of 500 thousands copies in the United States.[17] Elsewhere, it peaked inside the top ten in the charts of eight more countries, including second spot in Australia,[18] where it eventually received Platinum certification by ARIA for shipment of 70 thousands copies.[19] It also gained Platinum certification in the United Kingdom[20] and Gold in New Zealand.[21] The accompanying music video for "There You Go" was directed by Dave Meyers and debuted via The Box in late November 1999.[22]

Can't Take Me Home received mixed-to-positive reviews from music critics. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the senior editor of AllMusic, found the album similar to the works of TLC, but he complemented Pink's vocal performance, saying, that "she may not be able to deliver ballads with assurance and soul just yet, but she never over-sings". Commenting on the album's content, he wrote: "While there are no bad cuts on Can't Take Me Home, there aren't any knock-out punches, either."[3]Robert Christgau also gave a positive review, grading it B+. He commented: "When she admits to the loss of her slurred "cherry" in the finale, you can only wonder how sexy she'll be when she shows pink for real".[41]NME gave a positive review on the album, grading it six out of ten. saying: "Sadly, Pink‘s debut is a little samey and suffers from the diva disease that modern R&B acts [...] are helping to stamp out."[5]Q also gave a positive review, giving it four out of five stars.[42]
Entertainment Weekly gave the album a mixed review, grading it C+. They were critical towards its originality, saying: "Home [...] sounds as familiar as your doorbell; there’s hardly an original musical moment on it".[7]Jam! and MTV Asia also gave mixed reviews;[43] the latter gave album the grade five out of ten, saying that "Pink’s music is typical stuff, stuff that puts her in the same vein as current R&B". They added: "At the end of the day, I guess it still comes down to her hair color and streetwise attitude. After all, music is not always the main reason why an artist becomes hip and popular all of a sudden.".[10]Rolling Stone gave a mixed review, giving it two and a half out of five stars. They wrote: "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", continuing: "Beyond that, though, every melismatic groan, every clipped harmony, every post-Timbaland beat, every synth setting is copped from some R&B hit of the last eighteen months." They concluded their review, saying that "[Pink] makes a pretty good Monica, but we already have one of those."[44]
Can't Take Me Home received moderate commercial success worldwide. In the United States, it debuted and peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200 chart.[48] It is Pink's only studio album to not enter the top ten of this chart.[16] It spent fifty nine weeks on chart, and became sixty six best performing record of the 2000 on the chart.[49] It once again entered the Billboard year-end chart in 2001, placing at number ninety eight.[49]Can't Take Me Home also entered the R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart, peaking at number twenty three.[16] It spent fifty five weeks on this chart and was ranked as eighty seventh best performing record on this chart in 2000.[50] Eventually, Can't Take Me Home was certified as double Platinum by RIAA for shipment of two million copies in the United States.[17] In Canada, album peaked at the nineteenth spot on the national album chart,[51] while peaking at number 4 on the Canadian R&B Albums chart.[52] It was the 33-th best selling album in Canada of 2000[53] and 177-th of 2001.[54] Later it received two Platinum status by Music Canada for shipment of 200 thousand copies in the country.[55]

Retrospective commentary
Despite Can't Take Me Home's success, Pink felt dissatisfied and constrained by her lack of creative control and being marketed to a teen audience as an R&B singer.[71][72] Her father, Jim Moore, said in an October 2000 MTV News interview that Pink expressed interest in experimenting and showcasing her versatility on her forthcoming album.[73] She sought to create an album reflective of the musical influences with which she grew up, resembling the music of Annie Lennox and Method Man.[73]
Tired of being marketed as another cookie cutter pop act, as well as eager both to be seen as a more serious songwriter and musician and to perform the type of music she wanted to, Pink took her sound in a new direction and sought more artistic or creative control during the recording of her second album, Missundaztood.[74] She recruited Linda Perry, former singer of 4 Non Blondes.[75] Perry co-wrote and co-produced the album with Dallas Austin and Scott Storch, and according to VH1's Driven program, Antonio "LA" Reid of LaFace Records was not initially content with the new music Pink was making. Reid was concerned about Pink departing from her R&B sound, alienating an audience who was expecting another album like Can't Take Me Home.[76] Her desire for more creative control met with resistance, but Reid failed to persuade Pink to record more R&B songs. After a vigorous dispute, he relented and gave Pink "the opportunity to fail".[77] The album, named Missundaztood because of Pink's belief that people had a wrong image of her,[75] was released in November 2001.[78] Kate Sullivan of Spin called Pink's direction on the album "a rebellion against the producer-driven machinery that created her 2000 debut, Can't Take Me Home".[79]
Most critics praised the musical departure from contemporary music and altering the industry's perception of Pink as an artist.[80][81][82]Robert Hilburn wrote for the Los Angeles Times that Pink's reinvention (and its potential commercial impact) was initially questioned, but was later "a move industry observers now applaud as brilliant".[83] In her 2019 book, White Negroes, Lauren Michele Jackson compared Pink's rebellious artistic transformation with Janet Jackson's Control (1986). According to Jackson, Pink's choice to leave the black-dominated R&B industry would "ultimately keep her apart from her peers".[84] In a 2021 retrospective, Arielle Gordon of Stereogum said that Pink's opposition to her label's pressure to remain an R&B singer "somehow wrestled autonomy of her image and sound in an industry practically fueled by harnessing complete control of their young, primarily female stars."[85]
Due to Pink's opinion on the album, she had not performed its songs from 2001 until her 2013 The Truth About Love Tour.
