"Pink" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was written by Steven Tyler and professional songwriters Richie Supa and Glen Ballard. It was released as the third major single from Nine Lives in 1997.

The song is highlighted by a harmonica performance by Steven Tyler at the beginning, as well as a strong bass rhythm throughout the song, and a mix of acoustic guitars and jangling electric guitars throughout the verses. Many of the lines in the verses start with the word "Pink" (i.e. "Pink is my favorite crayon", "Pink is the love you discover", "Pink it's the color of passion," etc.). The song is also highly suggestive, in that the origin of the fascination with pink stems from the admiration of a woman's reproductive organs -- particularly the inner side of the outer lips; the "pink in the middle."

The music video for the song used CGI to morph characters' faces to other bodies. A variety of random characters mixed in with band members towards the camera, morphing into different characters in the process (e.g., Joe Perry as a centaur, Brad Whitford as a little boy, a skeleton and a rabbit in overalls (Steven Tyler). It was directed by Doug Nichol.

Two versions of the music video exist. There are noticeable differences in each version. In the more-adult version, for example, there is a woman dressed in a blue jumpsuit walking towards the camera. For a brief second, either on purpose or by accident, the top, unzipped portion of the jumpsuit is pulled away revealing her right breast. There is another instance where a woman's breasts are briefly fully revealed when a woman, painted blue and green, does a pirouette.

In the other less-adult version, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry are presented as a two-headed man and only the coverup portion of the breast reveal scene (above) is present.

The song won the band their fourth and most recent Grammy award in 1999, for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.

Additionally, the video won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video in 1998.
