Pink developed her voice early in life.^[7] Although a healthy baby at birth, she quickly developed asthma that plagued her through her early years.^[8] When she was a young teenager, Pink wrote lyrics as an outlet for her feelings, and her mother commented, "Her initial writings were always very introspective.
