Since this video is blowing up I feel the need to address something. I wrote this song for every person out there that has felt insecure, unloved, or unhappy in their own skin - it is in no way meant to glamorize, encourage, or promote eating disorders, body hatred, or body shaming in any form. The lyrics are a criticism on modern beauty standards and the harmful effects beauty standards can have on people - I wrote this song from a female's perspective as I myself have dealt with insecurities and done unhealthy things in my past to live up to the American beauty standard - but this song is meant for everyone. You are worthy of love, you are beautiful just the way you are, and beauty is a social construct - please don't harm your health or well being to live up to these invented expectations, it is not worth risking your life over. You are already a Prom Queen, you are already enough. (also for people upset that this is blowing up on tic-tok I want as many people to hear this message as possible, this message is so important - especially for younger people growing up in the social media generation which has made this issue even more prominent)

[addyp.]

When the guy in the beginning started randomly doing pushups, *my sims felt that*

[littlemisslouis]

When that guy was doing jumping jacks in the beginning and got slammed into that van, *I felt that*

[tonys.]

“Maybe I should try harder, you should lower your expectations.” That hits home so hard 😭

[wussyslayer]

that dude in the beginning just casually pushed the other dude and the dude just continued to dance like nothing happened.. we love an unbothered king

[alanadezao]

“I’ve been starving myself, carving my skin until my bones are showing” hit real hard

[Z-in]

This is the darkest, yet most enthusiastic song I've ever listened to.

[ryu]

Even 5 years later this song is amazing

[some__kid]

"shut up, count your calories! I'll never look good in mom jeans."

That line has been in my head for a while

[newmariobrothers]

me: *cried to this song alot*
Addison: 😜🖐👈💪👉🙌👉👐👇👏wOah ✊👇💪👈👏cLap 😹😤 bOdy rOlL

[manda]

this song: about EDs and has a deep meaning to it

girls ok tiktok: what i eat in a day!! 😻

[Aubrey]

I really like the first scene, how, for me at least, it shows social anxiety really well. How like, she is in this bright red sweater and everything else is dim, it always feels like people are staring at you, judging you.

[wabi-sabi]

So, many people say that Tiktok ruins good songs but Tiktok has actually helped me find so many good songs actually.

Me, a 16 y/o boy: „I WAS NEVER CUT OUT FOR PROM QUEEN“

[jennifersarut]

Me:
Listens to song ready to cry about my ED

The ad before the video :
“WENDYS SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICH”

[triciafradrick]

I literally don't even have an ed but I'm crying at this song

[levirosenlieb]

I love her voice. Really fits the music and just sounds awesome

[brucite]

Sounds like a song from the 2000s, either way its a really nice song.

[WithLoveMumu]

“Teach me how to be okay “ felt it in my bones

[aname]

Lyrics:

Shut up, count your calories
I never looked good in mom jeans
Wish I, was like you, blue-eyed blondie, perfect body
Maybe I should try harder
You should lower your expectations
I'm no quick-curl barbie
I was never cut out for Prom Queen
If I get more pretty, do you think he will like me?

Dissect my insecurities
I'm a defect, surgical project
It's getting hard to breath
There's plastic wrap in my cheeks
Maybe I should try harder
You should lower your beauty standards
I'm no quick-curl barbie
I was never cut out for Prom Queen
If I'm pretty, will you like me?
They say beauty, makes boys happy
I've been starving myself
Carving skin until my bones are showing

Teach me how to be okay
I don't want to downplay my emotions
They say beauty is pain
You'll only be happy
If you look a certain way

I wanna be okay
I wanna be okay
