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."[3]
Commercial performance
In Australia, "'Cuz I Can" debuted at number 33 on the ARIA Digital Tracks chart and peaked at number 14; it failed to enter the main singles chart due to its digital download-only release.[4] In New Zealand, the song debuted at number 39 and peaked at number 29 in its fourth week.[5]
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.
