Pink "didn't really want" children.
Pink
The 41-year-old singer - who has Willow, nine, and Jameson, four, with husband Carey Hart - admitted she was "surprised" at how much she's loved parenthood because raising a family was never part of her plans for the future.
Speaking on 'Today', she said: "I didn't really want to be a mom. I didn't not want to be a mom. But it just wasn't on my list of to-do's."
After the 'Cover Me In Sunshine' singer had her daughter, her outlook changed.
She added: "I had Willow and, man, that saying of 'watching your heart go walking outside of your body.' It's truly how it feels," she said.
Pink recently spoke of how difficult it was to maintain her life as a touring artist while raising her kids and she set the standard on how other pop stars juggle both aspects of their lives.
She said: "Touring with kids is impossible — and I did the impossible. For a while there were a lot of other pop stars that were emailing me and calling me for the playbook on how to tour with kids, so I wrote a playbook for other moms.
"You just keep going. I'm just thinking about: 'Am I raising a kind person? What's it like to be my kid?' "
And though her own kids are having a very different childhood to Pink's, she wants them to stay grounded.
She said: "Their normal is different: We go on tour and have a ball pit in Mommy's dressing room. But they are normal kids. Jameson wants to be an astronaut.
"Willow does gymnastics and reads 'Harry Potter' and is convinced she's going to Hogwarts when she's 11, and I don't have the heart to tell her that she's not."
