U + Ur Hand

"U + Ur Hand"
Song

"U + Ur Hand" is the third single released from P!nk's fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006). This song was one of the five album tracks that leaked onto the internet in July 2005. In an email from P!nk's website, it was made clear that "U + Ur Hand" was released as a single just in Europe, Australia and other selected countries on August 28, 2006. On October 31, 2006 it was released in the United States.

The title of the song is a reference to a man masturbating after going home alone from a night out, hence the lyrics from the chorus, "It's just you and your hand tonight".

P!nk in the music video for "U + Ur Hand."

P!nk shot videos for both "U + Ur Hand" and "Stupid Girls" at the same time, but decided to release the latter as her first single. P!nk stated that in this video she was "glammed" up and "It was four hours of makeup and one hour of shooting for every different look in the video". The music video for "U + Ur Hand" premiered on Canada's MuchMusic network on July 18, 2006. This video was premiered in the United States on MTV's TRL on September 29, 2006 - as the First Look of that day. Since then, the video has been shown on MTV Hits. The video reached #1 on TRL only 6 days after it's debut, making this Pink's second video to reach the top on the countdown after her 2003 song "Trouble".

The video released in Europe at the end of August, features P!nk posing as several of, New Zealand artist Martin Emond, characters, such as "Baby Red Knuckles", "Rocker Bikerboy" and "Hard Candy". Use of these characters was uncredited and unauthorised. At the time of the video release Illicit Streetwear and the Martin F. Emond estate were reviewing their options to take action.
