In the accompanying video message, Pink said:
“We thought we’d put it out around Valentine’s Day as a big old hug and kiss to all y’all.”
In the original TikTok video, Willow does a cute rendition of a few lines from Cover Me In Sunshine. She belts out:
“Cover me in sunshine/ Shower me in good times/ Tell me that the world’s been spinning/ Since the beginning and everything will be all right/ Just cover me in sunshine.”

Pink and Willow’s previous song together
Willow had previously shown off her vocal skills when the pair performed a sweet cover of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) by Nat King Cole for The Disney Holiday Singalong show in December 2020.
Meanwhile, Pink recently admitted she was proud of herself and Hart for reaching 15 years of marriage.
The So What and Who Knew hitmaker took to social media in January to mark their 15th wedding anniversary. She gushed that she was happy the couple have made it through so many years together.
Pink talks about her ‘wild ride’ of a marriage
Pink wrote: “15 years. Proud of us babe. See, sometimes being stubborn pays off. What a wild ride it’s been, once we learned how to stay in our race line. Here’s to at least the next 15 months hahaha. I love you and I love our family.”
She and Hart have been open about their marriage in the past. Pink previously explaining that she and her husband were keeping their marriage strong by attending counselling together.
“Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage. It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter. It is loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself. It is a lifetime of coming back to the table,” Pink said.
“People laugh at us because we’re either fighting or laughing. They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy. But I’ll tell you what. It’s worth it. All of it. Even when it isn’t.”
