Background and release
Pink started to produce the song in 2018.[citation needed] Later on January 25, 2019, it was reported that Pink will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame;[4] the ceremony was held on February 5, 2019, and she was joined by her two children and husband, Carey Hart.[5] The following day, Pink appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and stated that "Walk Me Home" would be released in two weeks, while the album, titled Hurts 2B Human, was believed to be released around April 2019. She also talked about shooting a music video with Michael Gracey, the director of The Greatest Showman, and the album's release.[6] Pink sang a snippet of the song a cappella.[7] A snippet of the track was released on social media, along with a release date announcement. "Walk Me Home" became available for digital download and streaming on February 20, 2019, and its lyric video was also released on YouTube the same day.[8] It was serviced to hot adult contemporary radio and contemporary hit radio on February 25, 2019, and March 5, 2019, respectively.[9][10]
Composition
The song was written by Pink, Scott Friedman, and Nathaniel Ruess, while the production was handled by Peter Thomas and Kyle Moorman.[11] Jon Blistein from Rolling Stone stated that the instrumentation of the track includes "heavy drums" and a "steady twang of an acoustic guitar."[12] Aimee Cliff of The Guardian found "flourishes of digitised vocal production" and considered them "a fresh touch" in Pink's discography, consisting mainly of pop-rock" songs,[13] while Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times felt that its structure contains "Lumineers-style stomp-folk" elements.[14] According to the music sheet published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, "Walk Me Home" is performed in the key of D♭ major with a moderate tempo of 88 beats per minute. The song is composed in an irregular time signature that changes measure to measure, and Pink's vocals span from D♭3 to D♭5.[15]
Critical reception
In the Chicago Sun-Times, Maeve McDermott wrote that the single is a "foot-stomping anthem" and marks an "optimistic departure" from Pink's previous singles that were centered around "dysfunctional" love.[16] Mike Wass from Idolator described the sound as "a vocoder-laden Mumford-folk anthem" and said that the song's chorus is "big enough to swallow you whole".[17] Amy O'Connor of Irish Times believed that the track is "admittedly catchy" and felt that it was "made to soundtrack the climax of an episode of Grey's Anatomy."[18] In a review for Hurts 2B Human, Sarah Grant of Rolling Stone considered that "Walk Me Home" is a "jacked-up" sequel to "Just Give Me a Reason",[19] while Toby Bryant from CelebMix called it a "fist-pumping" ballad.[20] Sean Maunier from Metro Weekly called the track a "remarkable standout hit" and said that Pink succeeds to balance the "combination of swagger and vulnerability" with "a stomping, triumphant" song.[21] Conversely, Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic felt that the record is "strident" and "a bit too insistent in its anthemic reach".[22]
