Composition

"Trustfall" has been described as a "synthpop club banger" and an "emotional electro anthem", eschewing her "signature pop-rock sound".[1] The song contains a "driving EDM beat" and "emotionally fraught lyrics" about confronting fear and trusting things will work out.[3]

Critical reception

The song earned generally positive reviews from music critics.[4] John Murphy from musicOMH declared "Trustfall" to be "up there with some of her best work" and decribed it as "a pulsating electro-anthem that's [...] reminiscent of Robyn."[5] Similarly, Michael Cragg, writing for The Guardian, called the "pulsating, Robyn-like" song one the "few pleasing tangents" on its parent album,[6] while PopMatters critic Jeffrey Davies noted that the "EDM production [..] begs to be put on repeat."[7] Ed Power from The Irish Examiner found the song to be a "brooding bopper, with Pink pushing her husky vocals to breaking point as house honcho Fred Again layers in bright, bouncy grooves."[8]

Lucy Case of Renowned for Sound called the song a "modern EDM anthem packed with P!nk’s soaring vocals."[9] while Sam Damshenas noted that "Trustfall" "marks a huge departure from P!nk’s signature pop-rock sound with a pulsating EDM beat."[4] Arwa Haider from Financial Times found that the "EDM-fuelled title track [...] could have connected emotionally. But the usually intrepid Fred Again sounds restrained here in a generic "epic groove," albeit one elevated by Pink’s vocals."[10] Less impressed,Kate French-Morris from The Telegraph called "Trustfall" a "robustly bland hit."[11] In a negative review, Roisin O'Connor from The Independent wrote: "The title track borrows too heavily from Robyn's playbook and consequently only serves to remind you that the "Dancing On My Own" artist does it better."[12]
