[4] "Raise Your Glass" was announced as the lead single from Pink's then-upcoming greatest hits compilation on October 1, 2010.

The song follows a strong pop style,[5] in much similar fashion to her previous work with producer Max Martin.

Nick Levine from Digital Spy was largely positive with the song, giving it 5/5 stars and describing it as "a full-throttle pop/rock stomper with a chorus as subtle as a porn star's cleavage, some classic Pink ad-libs and the best so-dumb-it's-genius couplet of the year: 'Don't be fancy / Just get dancey'... after ten years of sterling service to all things pop, the (pink) champagne's on us.

"[7] Becky Bain from Idolator said that "Pink lifts her glass to toast all the 'dirty little freaks' in her new party track.

"[8] Fraser McAlpine from BBC blog rated it 4/5 stars, saying that "it has to SOUND like wild and crazy fun.

There should be a few silly one-liners, rampant abuse of the English language, a few extravagant claims, a strutting self-regard mixed with a giggling self-depreciation, a sneer and a smile.

"[9] In the United States, "Raise Your Glass" became Pink's third number one and her tenth top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

[15] In the United Kingdom, "Raise Your Glass" peaked number 13 in the UK Singles Chart.

[18] Pink commented on the video in an interview for MTV News: "I threw my best friend's wedding in my backyard — she is lesbian and she married her wife, and it was absolutely beautiful.

Pink performed the song live at American Music Awards of 2010 at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
