Background

It was also a big hit in Australia, and was accredited Platinum with sales of over 70,000.[1]
Critical reception
Allmusic highlighted the song.[2] Rob Brunner compared: "Briggs' There You Go is remarkably similar to his hits for Destiny's Child (Bills, Bills, Bills) and TLC (No Scrubs), but minus the vocal interplay that gives those tunes their punch."[3] MTV Asia wrote that this song is an edgy cut that haves all that it takes to top the charts.[4] Rolling Stone was also positive: "Her debut has one awesome single in "There You Go," whose wronged-woman sass is set to a stop-start groove so bling-bling it redeems a chorus that ends, "Sometimes it be's like that."[5]
Music video
In the music video, Pink's ex-boyfriend calls her asking for a ride, and she reluctantly agrees to give him one. Pink hops on a motorcycle and rides to the top of a parking structure overlooking her ex's apartment, where she calls him on her cell. She then accelerates her motorcycle, jumps off at the last second and watches as it soars off the building and crashes into his apartment window before exploding into flames. Pink then jumps into a car driven by a new guy, giving her ex the middle finger as they drive off. Entertainment Weekly editor described: "In the video for There You Go — her smash single — the piqued Pink freaks, sending a motorcycle crashing into Floyd's fab bachelor pad."[3]
