John Hanes edited the song using Pro Tools technology with assistance provided by Tim Roberts. The song was finally mastered by Tom Coyne at Sterling Sound in New York City, New York. The song's lyrical content was based on her separation from her husband, motocross rider Carey Hart. After reuniting with Hart on January 1, 2009, Pink told Ellen DeGeneres in an interview on DeGeneres' syndicated talk show that she found it "funny" to perform the song when he was in the audience and especially enjoyed the bit where she sang the line "You're a tool". The song consists of a powerful charging beat, a singalong chorus, and a synthesizer backing influenced by club music. The song's verses and pre-choruses are written in the key of F# minor, and its choruses and bridge are written in the key of A major. The initial riff is closely familiar to Deep Purple's " Black Night". Lyrically, the song chronicles the protagonist's adventures following her separation from her husband. Evan Sawdey of PopMatters noted that the song has a hint of desperation in the lines "I don’t want you tonight, I’m alright, I'm just fine", implying that she is spending time convincing herself that she's enjoying the single life.
"So What" was released as the first single from Pink's fifth studio album Funhouse (2008).
