BREAKING: P!nk Reunites with Nate Ruess for New Power Ballad — Fans Say ‘It’s 2013 Again!’
July 3, 2025 — Los Angeles, CA
In a surprise musical reunion that has left fans reeling with nostalgia, P!nk and Nate Ruess have once again joined forces to release a powerful new ballad titled “Ashes and Echoes.” The track dropped at midnight across all major platforms and instantly began trending worldwide, with fans flooding social media, saying, “It’s 2013 again!”
The duo famously collaborated on the global hit “Just Give Me a Reason” over a decade ago — a song that dominated charts and cemented itself as one of the most beloved duets of the 2010s. Now, in 2025, “Ashes and Echoes” picks up that emotional thread and expands on it, delivering a raw and cinematic anthem about love, loss, and rediscovery.
P!nk, known for her fierce vocals and emotionally-charged lyrics, revealed in a live Q&A shortly after the release:
> “Nate and I have stayed in touch over the years, but this song came out of a place of deep reflection. We weren’t trying to recreate the past — we were writing from where we are now. And it just… clicked.”
Ruess, who has kept a relatively low profile since his solo debut and Fun.’s hiatus, echoed her sentiment:
> “Working with P!nk again felt like coming home. The emotion, the honesty — it was all there. This song came from a very real place for both of us.”
Produced by Grammy-winner Greg Kurstin, “Ashes and Echoes” blends lush piano arrangements with soaring harmonies and a haunting string section. The music video, directed by Sophie Muller, features a minimalist, black-and-white aesthetic that intensifies the vulnerability of the lyrics. It has already amassed over 5 million views on YouTube within hours.
Fans around the world are rejoicing at the reunion, with hashtags like #P!nkAndNate, #AshesAndEchoes, and #JustGiveMeANostalgiaTrip trending globally.
One fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
> “This song gave me goosebumps. It’s 2013 all over again, but with more wisdom and heartbreak.”
With the unexpected return of this beloved duo, speculation is now swirling about a potential live performance or even a full EP together. If “Ashes and Echoes” is any indication, the magic is far from over.
