"God Is a DJ" is the second single released by American pop singer Pink from her third album, Try This (2003). It is about letting go, loving life and living it to the fullest. It features the metaphorical phrase "If God is a DJ/Life is a dance floor/Love is a rhythm/You are the music". It peaked at number six in the Dutch Top 40 and number eleven on the UK Singles Chart. The song appears on the soundtrack of the 2004 film Mean Girls.

[edit] Music video

The music video for this song features Pink in clothing resembling that worn by prostitutes, and features scenes of Pink and others (assumed to be her roommates) getting dressed, having fun a subway, and going to a nightclub. Pink then continues to bribe the bouncer (dressed in eccentric drag clothing) to enter the nightclub ahead of the queue.

The video debuted on MTV's Total Request Live at number ten on January 22, 2004[1] and peaked at number six.[2]
