Background and composition

In 2018 Pink's daughter Willow Sage Hart (born on June 2, 2011)[1] released a cover of the reprise of "A Million Dreams (Reprise)" for The Greatest Showman: Reimagined soundtrack.[2] In 2019, Pink told Entertainment Tonight that she would do a collaboration with her daughter in the future.[3] In November 2019 Pink took a break from music to focus more on her family.[4] In March 2020 she and her son were diagnosed with COVID-19.[5]

On February 8, 2021, Pink released an a cappella preview of the "Cover Me in Sunshine" chorus, sung by her daughter, on her TikTok account.[6] Two days later, Pink revealed that the full version of the song would be released on February 12,[7] and also released a video, which emphasized her collaboration with her daughter:

I love singing with my daughter and my son. (...) But we have this song called "Cover Me in Sunshine" that we recorded at home because it made us feel happy and so we're going to put it out for no other reason than that we hope that the song makes you feel happy. We thought we'd put it out around Valentine's Day as a big ol' hug and a kiss from us to all y'all.[8]

It is an upbeat and mid-tempo pop song containing positive lyrics backed up by acoustic guitars.[9][10][11] Pink sings the first verse and chorus with backing vocals provided by her daughter, while Hart sings an outro on her own.[8][9] The song is composed in the key of F major; Pink's vocals range from F3 to Bb4.[12]

Reception

Justin Curto from Vulture wrote that song contains "some bright and warm harmonies between mother and child to get you through the end of the week".[13] Entertainment Tonight's Liz Calvario called the duo "the cutest twosome around" and described Willow Sage Hart's voice as "impressive".[3] Julia Barajas of Los Angeles Times also praised Willow Sage's vocals, calling them "fabulous".[6] Nicholas Rise from People called the track "upbeat and positive".[10] while ABC News Radio's Megan Stone described the track as "adorable".[9] Billboard's Gil Kaufman called the song "inspirational" and "dreamy", while describing song's chorus as "bright and poppy".[11]

In the US "Cover Me in Sunshine" failed to chart in Hot 100, however it peaked at number four in Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart with 2 million streams and 11,000 downloads.[14] In Canada the song peaked at number 60, and globally it debuted at number 104 on Global 200 and 133 on Global 200 Excl. US charts. On April 17, 2021 the song achieved peak of number 90 on Global 200 chart and number 60 on its Excl. US counterpart.[15] In Europe the song got a placement within top 40 of Austria, Croatia, Flanders, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Russia, and Switzerland. In Australia the track became Pink's 27th top ten single at the third week of charting by moving from number 16 to 10.[16] It ascended to number eight following week, peaking at number six next week.[17] "Cover Me in Sunshine" was certified gold by Australian Recording Industry Association for shipping 35,000 copies.[18]

Music video

The music video for "Cover Me in Sunshine" was released on the same day as the song and was "made [sic]" by both Pink and Willow Hart.[19] The video was recorded on Pink's family ranch and winery near Santa Barbara, California.[8] It features the singer and her daughter having fun in nature, riding horses, collecting chicken eggs and being in a boat.[9][20] Corinne Heller of E!
