September 1979 in Doylestown, Pennsylvania als Alecia Beth Moore), auch Pink, ist eine US-amerikanische Pop-Rock-Sängerin. Pink wurde als Tochter von Judy Kugel und James Moore geboren. Sie hat deutsche, irische und litauische Vorfahren. Während ihr Vater Katholik und ihre Mutter Jüdin ist, bezeichnet sie sich selbst als Jüdin. Als sie sieben Jahre alt war, trennten sich ihre Eltern, wodurch sich die Beziehung zu ihrer Mutter verschlechterte. Dies gipfelte darin, dass sie mit 15 Jahren aus deren Wohnung ausziehen musste. Nach eigenen Aussagen verbesserte sich hingegen das Verhältnis zu ihrem Vater. In dieser Zeit begann sie jedoch auch Drogen zu nehmen. Diesen schwor sie dann im Alter von 16 Jahren ab. Ihre Erfahrungen versuchte sie später in ihrem Song Family Portrait zu verarbeiten.
