'Cuz I Can (Pink song)
"'Cuz I Can" is a song written by Pink, Max Martin and Lukasz Gottwald for Pink's fourth album, I'm Not Dead, from which it was released as a promotional single for the album. It was one of the five album tracks that leaked onto the internet in July 2005.
Lyrics and composition
Lyrically, the song is about Pink playing by her own rules, and boasting about her "bling", a contrast to the anti-consumerist content of "Stupid Girls", another track on the album. Referring to "'Cuz I Can", she called herself "a walking contradiction" and "a hypocrite sometimes."
Release
The track was sent to radio stations in Australia on October 4, 2007. It debuted at number 33 on the Australian ARIA Digital Track Chart and peaked at number fourteen. The track debuted at number 39 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, becoming the first single to chart on download sales alone. It peaked at number twenty-nine.
Music video
The official music video for the song was first seen on Australian television on October 5, 2007, and footage of a live performance from the I'm Not Dead Tour. The performance, which was the show opener for the tour, featured dancers dressed like monks and with only underwear beneath their robes.
Cuz I Can (album)
Cuz I Can is the first album by the Swedish pop rock singer Ana Johnsson. The album was released exclusively in Sweden on April 14, 2004. It was later worldwide-released as The Way I Am, so that this latter is sometimes considered to be the first album by Johnsson. The latter album has a different cover and track listing; otherwise the albums are identical. The Way I Am contains the first seven songs from Cuz I Can and some new tracks, including the huge hit "We Are", which was the official soundtrack for the Spider-Man 2 film, "Don't Cry for Pain" and "Coz I Can", a remix of "Cuz I Can". The leftover tracks were included as B-sides on the later released singles.
Singles released from Cuz I Can were "The Way I Am", "Life" and "Cuz I Can", of which only "Life" entered the Swedish Singles Chart, at number 17.

'Cuz I Can
by: PinkHa, ha, ha, we're gonna rock and roll
Ra, ra, alright, I drink more than you
Party harder than you do
And my car's faster than yours too

Yeah, I talk shit, just deal with it
My rims are 23 inch
And they're black on black no, they're not his
Diamonds all over my tees
You can try and try you can't beat me
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
Tonight I'll do what I want 'cuz I can
You know I'm rare, you stop and stare
You think I care, I don't
You talk real loud but you ain't saying nothing cool
I could fit your whole house in my swimming pool
My life's a fantasy
That you're not smart enough to even dream
My ice is makin' me freeze
You can try and try you can't beat me
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
Tonight I'll do what I want 'cuz I can, yeah
Uh, break it down
It's tough times out here
Ya know what I'm sayin' mmm, hmm
Yeah, I'm super thick
People say I'm much too chic
Come and kiss the ring
You just might learn a couple things
I'm trying to school you dog
Roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof, roof
I'm your worst nightmare
Bring it we can take it there
What are you scared?
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
Tonight I'll do what I want 'cuz I can
So I'll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I'll always win
Even if I don't I'm fucked
Because I live a life of sin
But it's alright, I don't give a damn
I don't play your rules I make my own
