Funhouse is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Pink, released by LaFace Records worldwide in October 24, 2008. On this album, Pink again works with Al Clay, Billy Mann, MachoPsycho, Max Martin, and Butch Walker while working with new producers such as Danja, Eg White, and No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal. Inspired by her divorce from motorcross racer Carey Hart, the lyrical content deals with themes of loss, heartbreak, anger and resentment. Musically, the album takes on different styles from blues rock to R&B to electro.

The album was critically lauded by contemporary music critics, praising Pink's lyrical depth on the more somber songs as well as her ability to personalize the product of her collaborations with other acclaimed songwriters and producers. Funhouse achieved commercial success across Europe and Oceania, reaching the top five sixteen countries and number one in six, including Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The album peaked at number two in the United States, becoming Pink's highest charting album there until her sixth studio album The Truth About Love (2012) reached number one in the country. Funhouse received over fifteen platinum certifications, among which eight are multiplatinum.

Seven singles were spawned from Funhouse. The lead single "So What" became Pink's most successful single worldwide, topping the charts in eleven countries, while singles "Sober" and "Please Don't Leave Me" were moderate successes internationally. Later singles Bad Influence, "Funhouse", and "I Don't Believe You" were modest successes in Europe and Oceania while "Glitter in the Air" performed well in North America. In support of Funhouse, Pink performed at several venues and awards and embarked on two world tours, the Funhouse Tour and the Funhouse Tour: Live in Australia.
