whataya want from me is the 2nd single released off the album "for your entertainment" by season 8 runner-up of american idol "adam lambert". the song was written by pink, max martin, and shellback and was recorded by pink for her fifth studio album, funhouse, but did not make it to the final cut. it was produced by max martin and shellback, who have collaborated with pink, britney spears, katy perry, and fellow idols kelly clarkson, daughtry, allison iraheta and carrie underwood. the song received a grammy nomination for best male pop vocal performance.
