Family portrait

Family Portrait" is a pop/hip-hop song written by Pink and Scott Storch for Pink's second album Missundaztood (2001). The song is about her family that was about to fall to pieces, portraying the conflict through the eyes of her as a child. It was released as the album's fourth and final single in December 2002 (see 2002 in music). It peaked at number twenty on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number eleven on the UK Singles Chart.
Family Portrait" is a pop song composed in the key of C minor. It is written in common time and moves at a moderate 88 beats per minute. The song is divided into four-measure phrases with an i-iv-III-ii-V chord progression.

Pink told Q magazine that the song got her into trouble with her mother after she called her a lunatic in it. The singer added: "She went to The National Enquirer. We laugh about it now but it wasn't the best way to address family problems."

In the music video for Family Portrait, Pink plays a young woman who still has unresolved issues with her parents' divorce. This is represented by a little girl representing Pink as a child, played by actress Kelsey Lewis. Throughout the video, Pink's younger self tries to get her to address her childhood, in many ways such as making her eat cereal she liked as a child and interfering with her therapy session. Pink initially refuses to listen to her younger self until the song's bridge. After that, Pink comes to terms with her childhood as represented by her younger self joining the family in the television.
