About This Track

P!nk examines the gap between what we show and what we hide, building 'Secrets' around the tension of partial disclosure. The song moves between admission and deflection, its narrator caught between the urge to confess and the comfort of pretence. She frames intimacy as a negotiation, a "silly little game" where both parties agree to look away from the harder truths. Co-written with producers Max Martin, Shellback and Oscar Holter, the track pairs its confessional lyrics with a propulsive dance framework. The chorus plants a hook that lands cleanly: "Everybody's got a secret", a statement that feels both reassuring and isolating. The music video, released in the summer of 2018, captures P!nk and her dancers in a warehouse at night, the graffiti-tagged setting matching the song's mood of controlled chaos. 'Secrets' topped the US Dance Club Songs chart, the third track from Beautiful Trauma to reach that position.

"Secrets" is a track by P!nk, from the album Beautiful Trauma, released 13th October 2017. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about P!nk.

Lyrics

Secrets

[Verse 1]

What do we conceal? What do we reveal?

Make that decision every day

What is wrong with me?

It's what's wrong with you

There's just so much I wanna say

[Pre-Chorus]

I like to make-believe with you

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

That we always speak the truth... ish

I like how we pretend the same

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

Play this silly little game (Hey)

[Chorus]

I've got some things to say

'Cause there's a lot that you don't know

It's written on my face

It's gonna be hard to swallow (Everybody's got a secret)

I got some things to say (Everybody's got a secret)

'Cause there's a lot that you don't know (Everybody's got a secret)

It's written on my face (Everybody's got a secret)

[Verse 2]

I let the walls come down

I let the monster out

And it's coming after me (After me)

Do you feel exposed

Where it hurts the most?

Can you wear it on your sleeve?

[Pre-Chorus]

I like to make-believe with you

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

That we always speak the truth (Always speak the truth) ...ish

I like how we pretend the same

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

Play this silly little game (Hey)

[Chorus]

I've got some things to say

'Cause there's a lot that you don't know (Know, know)

It's written on my face

It's gonna be hard to swallow (Everybody's got a secret)

I got some things to say (Everybody's got a secret)

'Cause there's a lot that you don't know (Everybody's got a secret, yeah, yeah)

It's written on my face (Everybody's got a secret, secret)

[Bridge]

Put it in the closet, lock the doors

I'm wondering which one is worse

Is it mine or is it yours? (Yours)

Put it in the closet, lock the doors

Wondering which one is worse

I'll show mine if you show yours (Yours)

I'll show mine if you show yours, oh

He-he-hey

[Chorus]

(Everybody's got a secret, hoo)

I got some things to say (Everybody's got a secret)

'Cause there's a lot that you don't know (Everybody's got a secret)

It's written on my face (Everybody's got a secret, hey, hey)

It's gonna be hard to swallow (Hey, hey)

[Outro]

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do (Everybody's got a secret)

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do

Da, da, da, da, do, do, do (Everybody's got a secret)
