"Just Like a Pill" was the third single from Pink's second album, Missundaztood, out in June 2002, and she wrote it with Dallas Austin, who produced it. It's pop rock with bruises on it, a song about dragging yourself out of a relationship that hurts, with drug abuse lurking underneath as a second theme.

It went to number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, all the way to number one in the UK and into the top 10 in 12 more countries. On Arista's release schedule it came between "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Family Portrait".
