The song won Pink a Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 2004. The song was featured in the films White Chicks, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous and television series, Smallville, ER, and Psych,. It is also featured in the trailers for Tangled, One for the Money and in the promo for TV show Breaking Bad.

Tim Armstrong had originally written the song for his own band Rancid's 2003 album, Indestructible however the song failed to make the final cut so when asked to work with Pink, he brought the song to her attention and it was partially re-written with her. In 2012, Armstrong would finally record the song himself under the name Tim Timebomb.
