"'Cuz I Can" is a song written by Pink, Max Martin and Lukasz Gottwald on her fourth album, I'm Not Dead (2006), from which it was the seventh single.

In the song, Pink says she plays by her own rules and boasts about her "bling", a contrast to the anti-consumerist content of "Stupid Girls", another track on the album. Referring to "'Cuz I Can", she called herself "a walking contradiction" and "a hypocrite sometimes."[1] It was one of the five album tracks that leaked onto the internet in July 2005.[2]

The single was sent to radio stations in Australia on October 4, 2007. It debuted at number 33 on the Australian ARIA Digital Track Chart and peaked at number fourteen.[3] The track debuted at number 39 on the New Zealand Singles Chart, becoming the first single to chart on download sales alone. It peaked at number twenty-nine.[4]

The music video was first seen on Australian television on October 5, 2007 and is a live performance video from the I'm Not Dead Tour. The performance, which was the show opener for the tour, featured dancers dressed like monks and with only underwear beneath their robes.
