"Trouble" is a rock song recorded by Pink for her third studio album Try This (2003). It was written by Tim Armstrong and Pink and features a prominent guitar riff. The song was released as the album's first single in late 2003 (see 2003 in music) and was moderately successful, reaching number two on the Canadian Singles Chart on November 29, 2003. Elsewhere it was less popular and in the U.S. it failed to enter the top forty.

The music video features several fight scenes.

The song's music video is western-themed. In it, P!nk rides her horse into a small town named Sharktown. Upon seeing several horses tied up, she starts a brawl with the men nearby. She then enters a saloon and orders a drink. The bartender looks to the sheriff, who has been watching P!nk since she arrived. When the sheriff indicates no, the bartender refuses to serve P!nk, causing her to leap over the counter, knock down the bartender, and start another brawl. The sheriff breaks a bottle on her head and then has her carried into a jail cell. P!nk seduces the sheriff, who lets her out of the cell, and transfers her own handcuffs to the sheriff. She enters the bar for another fight, and she and several other women begin dancing on top of the bar counter. After freeing the horses from their stable, P!nk defeats the sheriff in a fight using whips and rides out of town.
