Allie Sherlock just dropped her version of one of Pink’s biggest hits, and “What About Us” gives her exactly the kind of emotional, belting chorus that suits her voice. She built her name on turning familiar songs into something that feels fresh and personal, and this track hands her plenty of room to do that. Watch the full performance below, then read on for the story behind the song.
About This Performance
Allie posted this cover to her official YouTube channel in August 2026, and it counts among her newest uploads. “What About Us” builds from a restrained verse into a huge, anthemic chorus, and that kind of dynamic range plays directly to Allie’s strengths as a performer who can shift from quiet intimacy to full vocal power without losing the emotion in the lyrics.
About the Song
Pink released “What About Us” in 2017 as the lead single from her album Beautiful Trauma. She wrote the song with Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid, and it became one of her most successful singles worldwide, climbing into the top ten on multiple international charts. The song channels disappointment and heartbreak into a bigger question about broken promises and lost trust, and that universal, almost anthemic quality explains why singers and cover artists keep returning to it.
Why Allie’s Version Stands Out
The strongest covers of a song like this don’t rebuild it from scratch; they commit to it fully. Allie earned her following busking on the streets of Dublin precisely because she can take a song everyone already knows and make it sound like she means every word. A track built around raw questions and rising emotion sits right in that wheelhouse, and it explains why her big, powerful choruses tend to resonate so strongly with listeners.
