Originally, it was just a song writing session but Pink realized that she needed someone else to sing the song with her because she thought that it was more of a conversation than a one perspective song. She asked Ruess to do it with her and got him to do the song as a duet. Pink said `` I was like, ' no, this is a story, this is a conversation this song ' - it needs the other perspective whether it 's a guy and a girl, or two girls or two guys. ' I came in and tried to convince him that this was how the conversation was going to go and it was interesting you know, he was like ' I 'll just do the demo cos I do n't know about duets ' and I totally tricked him into doing it, and I am so glad I was able to. ' I think now he 's very happy that he did it, I think it 's a beautiful song and I 'm really, really proud of it. Nate Ruess told MTV News : `` Writing the song was a whole different learning experience and was really fueled by the fact that Alecia ( Pink 's real name is Alecia Moore ) is so strong and independent and so very much herself. At the end of the day it 's so hard to argue against her because what she does is always so great. The song is about the desire to hold on to a relationship even when it appears to be breaking down.

'' Common Sense Media ( CSM ) said, `` Pink, singer from band fun. team up in sweet love tune. '' Billboard also gave a positive review of the song saying this duet with the band 's lead singer Nate Ruess ( produced by `` We Are Young '' helmer Jeff Bhasker ) would fit right at home on `` Some Nights '' : `` Although it 's a little jarring to hear Pink 's raw, live vocals paired with Ruess ' Auto - Tune, it 's ultimately a less - schmaltzy version of those male / female duets found at the end credits of every 80s movie.
