Trustfall (song)

"Trustfall" has been described as a "synthpop club banger" and an "emotional electro anthem", eschewing her "signature pop-rock sound".^[2] The song contains a "driving EDM beat" and "emotionally fraught lyrics" about confronting fear and trusting things will work out.^[4] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by EMI Blackwood and Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is written in the key of A♭ major with a tempo of 122 beats per minute.^[5]

The song earned generally positive reviews from music critics.^[6] John Murphy from musicOMH declared "Trustfall" to be "up there with some of her best work" and described it as "a pulsating electro-anthem that's [...] reminiscent of Robyn."^[7] Similarly, Michael Cragg, writing for The Guardian, called the "pulsating, Robyn-like" song one the "few pleasing tangents" on its parent album,^[8] while PopMatters critic Jeffrey Davies noted that the "EDM production [..] begs to be put on repeat."^[9] Ed Power from The Irish Examiner found the song to be a "brooding bopper, with Pink pushing her husky vocals to breaking point as house honcho Fred Again layers in bright, bouncy grooves."^[10]

Lucy Case of Renowned for Sound called the song a "modern EDM anthem packed with P!nk’s soaring vocals."^[11] while Sam Damshenas noted that "Trustfall" "marks a huge departure from P!nk’s signature pop-rock sound with a pulsating EDM beat."^[6] Arwa Haider from Financial Times found that the "EDM-fuelled title track [...] could have connected emotionally. But the usually intrepid Fred Again sounds restrained here in a generic "epic groove," albeit one elevated by Pink's vocals."^[12] Less impressed, Kate French-Morris from The Telegraph called "Trustfall" a "robustly bland hit."^[13] In a negative review, Roisin O'Connor from The Independent wrote: "The title track borrows too heavily from Robyn's playbook and consequently only serves to remind you that the "Dancing On My Own" artist does it better."^[14]

The track's music video was released the same day as the song, and directed by Georgia Hudson. It stars Pink and a young woman who is trying to find the confidence to talk to a man she is interested in at a house party.^[16] Pink also stands atop a hotel and dances on a dark street, which was choreographed by Ryan Heffington.^[4]
