MTV Video Music Awards 2012: P!nk will perform a new song

This will be the third time the singer has performed at the ceremony.

She said to MTV News, ''Being a part of the VMAs for me is extra special because my mom never let me used to watch MTV as a little girl.

''I would watch it anyway but she would also try and ground me but then I would just sneak out my window and go to someone's house that had MTV. So to be on MTV is quite ironic.''

P!nk will be debuting a track from her upcoming studio album, The Truth About Love.

The VMAs will take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Thursday September 6.
