Club stated that it is "a solemn song that slinks along at a slower speed, the better to bear out the grainy range of her voice." Joan Anderman wrote for Boston Globe that the song "finds the sweet spot between "American Idol" and the Red Hot Chili Peppers." Evan Sawdey wrote for PopMatters that "P!nk launches into the surprisingly downtrodden, a song that once again spends time convincing herself that everything’s alright." It is set at a moderately slow tempo of 92 beats per minute, following a chord progression of D♯5–B5–F♯–D♯m. In the song, P!nk's vocals span from D♯3 to C♯5. "Sober" is a pop rock song written in the key of D♯ minor. And it’s about the voices that we choose and I had this idea in my head, ‘Like how do I feel this good sober?.I don’t know it’s just a really, really personal beautiful song, one of my favorites…." She also stated that the song was one of the darkest she wrote for the album. "How do I feel so good with just me, without anyone to lean on?", P!nk says in an interview.
Eventually it had nothing to do with alcohol but with identities. She went to the beach and had a line in her head saying "How do I feel so good sober?".
P!nk wrote the song at a party hosted at her home, where everyone was drunk or drinking except for her, and she wanted them all to leave. P!nk was nominated for the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Sober", but lost to Beyoncé's "Halo". In the United States, "Sober" debuted at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked at 15, becoming her second Top 20 single from her album, after the huge success of " So What". The song gained airplay before release in Australia on Today Network's stations and the Hot 30 Countdown and was the number one most added song on Australian radio. It was written by Nate "Danja" Hills, Kara DioGuardi, Marcella Araica and P!nk herself, and produced by Danja, Tony Kanal and Jimmy Harry. "Sober" is a song by American pop rock singer P!nk, and the second single taken from her fifth studio album, Funhouse. P!nk, Nate "Danja" Hills, Kara DioGuardi, Marcella Araica
