Alecia Moore's more pop rock-oriented second studio album, Missundaztood, was released in 2001 and is her biggest seller to date. Featuring the chart-topping hits "Get The Party Started" and "Just Like a Pill", it began a marked shift in the sound of her music. Pink soon followed up with her third album, Try This. It was met with disappointing sales upon its release in November of 2003, although critically the album received mostly positive praise.
When she was a young teenager, Pink wrote lyrics as an outlet for her feelings, and her mother commented, "Her initial writings were always very introspective. Some of it was very black, and very deep, almost worrisome."
Alecia Beth Moore began performing in Philadelphia clubs when she was fourteen years old. At sixteen, she joined the R&B Atlanta-based trio Choice, which included Chrissy Conway of the Christian girl group ZOEgirl. The group signed with LaFace Records and contributed "Key to My Heart" to the soundtrack of the 1996 film Kazaam. Choice eventually disbanded after recording an unreleased album; Pink remained at LaFace as a solo act under the stage name Pink. Daryl Simmons took her to recordings where she sang backing vocals for artists such as Diana Ross, 98 Degrees, Kenny Lattimore and Tevin Campbell.
Alecia Beth Moore was then featured in the techno song "Gonna Make Ya Move (Don't Stop!)" written by L. Carpella and F. Scandolari.
