Lyrics by Caitlin Canning (Cate) and Rory Adams
Demo produced by Caitlin Canning (Cate)

I never liked pool parties
Or underwater scenes
And I hate when I like someone
I’m scared they won’t like me

And I never liked my hair colour
I always dyed it blonde
Avoided every mirror
How did I get it so wrong and

I expect the worst from everyone
‘Cause I don’t think I’m what they want
But maybe in a couple months

Oh, I can’t wait to be pretty
Oh, the things that I’ll do
I’ll kiss pretty people
And live out of the blue
I’ll dance with the lights on
In a crowded room
When I’m pretty
Oh, the things I’ll do

And I know it’s a mindset
That I need to learn
Wish that I could just wake up
And not be insecure anymore

‘Cause if my friends were to think
The things I think ‘bout my body
I would tell them they’re crazy
That they’re hot and amazing

But I expect the worst from everyone
‘Cause I don’t think I’m what they want
I know that I should just shut up

Oh, I can’t wait to be pretty
Oh, the things that I’ll do
I’ll kiss pretty people
And live out of the blue
I’ll dance with the lights on
In a crowded room
Oh, when I’m pretty
Oh, the things I’ll do

I’ll be happy
So damn pretty
I’ll know that I’m worthy
Dance with the lights on
Everyone’s watching
Yeah I’ll be pretty, pretty fantastic

Oh, I can’t wait to be pretty
Oh, the things that I’ll do
I’ll kiss pretty people
And live out of the blue
I’ll dance with the lights on
In a crowded room
When I’m pretty
Oh, the things I’ll do

um i cried, literally every single lyric is how i feel

[Lauren-swuo]

I’m so glad I decided to scroll down just one more time on tiktok tonight :’)

[kinamxe]

aight. to that one person who disliked, do you wanna FIGHT BRO

[Greg-wfte]

tons of people tell i’m pretty and it feels nice but at the end of the day when i look in the mirror it pains me to look at myself. i wish i could be happy with who i am but i just can’t, i hate my reflection. this song made me sob.

[cate_official]

pretty is a mindset, go out and do whatever the f*ck you want!!
OUT NOW - link in description!

[aybagel]

When that chorus dropped I cried 😭 I keep clothes that don't fit me anymore and tell myself I can wear it in a few months when I lose weight, I always have the "I can't wait to be pretty" mentality without even realizing it 🥺 thank you for this song it's a blessing

[hanababyyyy]

when you have an eating disorder and this song has a complete different meaning to you like having goal weights and waiting on when you feel like you're enough

[Emma-dofx]

u don’t understand how much this song relates to my life. i always push things aside and think to myself abt how ill do it when i loose weight, get rid of my acne, etc. i’ve always been into fashion, but i wouldn’t buy clothes i loved bc i’m so insecure in how i look all my friends are beautiful and i feel disgusting all the time :/

[veranoheat]

I've felt like this for years, afraid to live my life because I've never felt pretty. The lyrics spoke everything I told myself I would do so thank you cate for reminding me im not the only one feeling this way. Your music is beautiful and touched me in a way I didn't think was possible. Keep doing what your doing because you are amazing ❤

[juliashinn]

I’ve always hated shopping because i didn’t look like the models did in the same clothes but I’ve never felt confident in the clothes that I had. I was looking at clothes today and thought of this song and how I’m not alone in that feeling of wanting to wait until I’m “pretty” to go for something. Thank you for the message and the beautiful reminder that we are all already pretty

[paigedesiree]

My sister:
The smart one
The talented one
The athletic one
The graceful one
The brave one
The perfect one
The pretty one
Me:
The younger one
Isn’t it hard living up to perfection?

[ryleealright]

This is exactly how I feel! It feels better to know I am not alone and it’s not just me

[juliac]

to the three people who disliked this: WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT

[victoriamartinez]

This made me cry so much bc it’s exactly how I feel. I used to do a list of things that I wanted to do once I was thin and pretty. This was amazing. For all of you reading this, you ARE pretty and you shouldn’t wait for anything in life. Life’s short. Live it to the fullest.

[milliefaulkner]

I can’t wait for her to be a super star and be able to say I was here from the start❤️

[jordanleblanc]

Me wanting to send this to my friends because this song is amazing but knowing I’ll get lectured by them for thinking I’m not pretty💀😂

[Sweetheart_]

don’t forget you all are so beautiful.. you don’t need to lose weight, or dye your hair, or have better skin. you’re perfect exactly the way you are. ily ❤️❤️

[sudelight]

Dear 10 year me,
Believe me, you're not ugly. You are beautiful. Have always been and will always be.

Love, 18 year old you ❤️

[annayhh]

This song hits different when you know you’re pretty but your mind is screaming at you saying you’re ugly.Everyone can tell you “you matter” “you are pretty” but at the end of the day, you live with yourself.You are the only person who can help yourself.Just you.

[BiaArcher]

this is way too good, got me feeling a certain type of way, damn
