Lyrics and composition
Lyrically, the song is about Pink playing by her own rules, and boasting about her "bling", a contrast to the anti-consumerist content of "Stupid Girls", another track on the album. Referring to Cuz I Can", she called herself "a walking contradiction" and "a hypocrite sometimes."Vineyard, Jennifer.
