Just Give Me A Reason

Just Give Me a Reason by P!nk featuring Nate Ruess was inspired by the idea of keeping a relationship alive and dealing with the challenges that come with it. It emphasizes the importance of communication and trust in a relationship. It was written when P!nk approached Ruess to create a duet that expressed a dialogue between two lovers trying to save their love.
