@@Disciple_777 jesus is not the answer to everything religion is just as corrupt just as evil and as judgemental as the rest of society today so take your God and go do something good instead of saying jesus is the only answer to life
This song is not only about physical appearance. It's about being human and constantly feeling like we're lacking in certain areas of our lives and constantly trying to use material things to feel the gap. Trying to avoid pain.
I think its because beyonce has botox and all, does so much to stay in shape it does not seem genuine. Maybe thats why some people took it personally. But its just a song written by someone and sang by Beyonce thats all.
It's certainly underrated. Pretty women aren't supposed to be thinkers, or speak up for themselves. They're just supposed to grin and BARE it according to what society tells them. They're supposed to be stupid, insipid cows.
Please help me I thought all the stuff about them was natural, but this song makes sense what they have to go through to be famous and popular. This is another reason why Beyoncé is the queen.😢❤🎉
Why is it that you’re ok body shaming those models but not ok with body shaming curvy people? We should respect all body types. That includes thin people.
Victoria Heffly because they basically starve themselves and he is not body shaming! The point is because they make other girls feel like they have to look a certain way and be that thin. They are “what” we should look like.
@@spiritualrhome6584 not all models starve themselves. They work out and all of that. You see Victoria models with absolutely and are very toned because they work out. Also for some reason people think it's fine to skinny shame.t
Spiritual Rhome most models don’t starve themselves. If you have seen, Victoria’s Secret models eat very high protein and healthy diets. They work out very frequently. If they starve themselves they won’t have the energy to work out. Most of them are healthy. Just because someone is naturally tall and thin doesn’t mean that they’re unhealthy or starving themselves. It’s pathetic. To be honest with you, It isn’t even about the facts, or the statistics on how many models starve themselves. It’s that stupid tendency of people to make assumptions based on thin and tall body types. Even if you aren’t that body type, there are people who have that body type. I see so many people being rude to these people just because they have unusual and uncommon measurements.
Nobody is born ugly, they just live in a place that is full of criticism. You don't have to be perfect to be pretty on the inside. You should never put yourself down to make another happy. You come first Nobody else. You are beautiful, no matter what you are! bi, Lesbian, gay, you are the only one of you. Embrace it
Apparently there are a lot of people in the comments section that missed that point entirely People assume that beautiful women are " stuck up" the truth is that being treated as if you are a decoration rather than a person is very dehumanizing.
This song isn’t just “good”. It’s a masterpiece, as is this video. As someone who had pretty severe anorexia for four years, I appreciate how well the suffering of perfectionism and weight obsession was captured here. Very emotional but empowering message to rise above our impossibly high and often destructive beauty standards.
+Smartphone Phone the song isn't about her. She's really saying that some people believe you have to be pretty to be happy but it actually just brings a lot of problems trying to be the ideal woman.
#whatispretty ? An individual that can be comfortable in their own skin, while pursuing their dreams without the influences of America's many judgmental media outlets changing them.
I remember seeing this when I was younger, not knowing the world would be so hard. As I'm older I realised that this is hard, but true, as I've been struggling with my body image a lot over the past year. This should be showed to girls, woman and guys from all ages
Indeed. As for me, i feel so much insecurity after entering my 20’s age. I’m still dealing with it and there are some ups and downs. But I will always tell to myself, I am amazing in my own way. And you are amazing, in your own way
Wow Spirit Thank you so much for bringing me here in 2025 with this divine message 😮 “THIS TIME IM GONNA TAKE THE CROWN WITHOUT FALLING DOWN” I hear you loud and clear! 😮💨
1. This is a timeless concept. 2. Sia wrote the song. Not taking anything from Beyoncé as a talent tho, you’re not wrong. Just pointing a few things out.
The song itself isn’t saying that being pretty is the problem or that girls/she don’t want to be pretty, it’s the forcing of all these harsh “beauty” standards and the hazardous levels they reach that are really killing people on the inside. “Perfection is a disease of a nation,” she wrote. And it is. It kills you from the inside-out.
Sia wrote this beautiful song! And yes, it is about the society nowadays, they brainwash people into making them think that you need to look a certain way to be "beautiful" when in reality beauty is something people make. At the end looks will fade and the only thing that matters is your personality
I don't know what about your dreams is making you unhappy, but I wish you the best with everything. Also, though I doubt I and anyone else can understand your exact experiences because we're not you, I wanted to let you know that a lot of people struggle with identifying, pursuing, and achieving their dreams. Please just keep trying your best and don't hate yourself for any reason. The best change and growth comes from looking at mistakes and rough points in life as challenges. I struggle with loving myself too, Lisa. However, I think you and I are doing better and will do a lot better in life than we think. Please do me a favor though, if you ever feel like this dislike of yourself gets so far out of hand that you can't manage it alone, then talk to a therapist.
Aww, Priya, trust me, the size of your thighs and shoulders doesn't matter. It's your personality that really matters. Personally, I'd rather hang out with or date a person who had big shoulders and thighs and was kind than a person who didn't and was cruel. Besides, I've met plenty of guys and girls who actually thought thick thighs were quite attractive. They must make you look like such a powerful woman! I feel like if I had your shoulders, I'd be able to carry myself so much more confidently.
most underrated line of the lyrics is "...it is the soul that needs the surgery" man i felt that shit

"Perfection is a disease of a nation, it's the soul that needs a surgery"
This is such a timeless, AMAZING song, 2022 let's tap in.❤
JESUS is coming soon and JESUS is the only way to Salvation accept JESUS as your LORD and Savior today before it is too late.

This song is not only about physical appearance. It's about being human and constantly feeling like we're lacking in certain areas of our lives and constantly trying to use material things to feel the gap. Trying to avoid pain.

My sons mother and her mother, cycle that they can't see.
Sia created a masterpiece. Love Beyoncè too.
so deep felt that
That's my sad life
One of Beyoncé's most underrated pieces.
I remember a lot of hate for this when it came out. It really is such a beautiful piece
I think its because beyonce has botox and all, does so much to stay in shape it does not seem genuine. Maybe thats why some people took it personally.
But its just a song written by someone and sang by Beyonce thats all.
It's certainly underrated. Pretty women aren't supposed to be thinkers, or speak up for themselves. They're just supposed to grin and BARE it according to what society tells them. They're supposed to be stupid, insipid cows.
You can't resist making the obligatory underrated comment even when faced with over 300 million views.
Written by Sia

That's why she made the song so people would say that
No, Sia made the song. Beyonce sang it because she feels the meaning is so truthful.

Of course, but she's a great person, to me that means she's flawless

Best thing would be if she sang it in one of the Victoria Secrets parades
William Ramos lol
Why is it that you’re ok body shaming those models but not ok with body shaming curvy people? We should respect all body types. That includes thin people.
Victoria Heffly because they basically starve themselves and he is not body shaming! The point is because they make other girls feel like they have to look a certain way and be that thin. They are “what” we should look like.
@@spiritualrhome6584 not all models starve themselves. They work out and all of that. You see Victoria models with absolutely and are very toned because they work out. Also for some reason people think it's fine to skinny shame.t
Spiritual Rhome most models don’t starve themselves. If you have seen, Victoria’s Secret models eat very high protein and healthy diets. They work out very frequently. If they starve themselves they won’t have the energy to work out. Most of them are healthy. Just because someone is naturally tall and thin doesn’t mean that they’re unhealthy or starving themselves. It’s pathetic. To be honest with you, It isn’t even about the facts, or the statistics on how many models starve themselves. It’s that stupid tendency of people to make assumptions based on thin and tall body types. Even if you aren’t that body type, there are people who have that body type. I see so many people being rude to these people just because they have unusual and uncommon measurements.
I know, you SEARCHED for this song ❤
“Pretty” means nothing of you don’t feel like that inside.

Nobody is born ugly, they just live in a place that is full of criticism. You don't have to be perfect to be pretty on the inside. You should never put yourself down to make another happy. You come first Nobody else. You are beautiful, no matter what you are! bi, Lesbian, gay, you are the only one of you. Embrace it
Lesbian*, gay*

Are you happy with yourself
Pretty hurts by the most beautiful woman in the world, this says a lot. No one is free from insecurities
Apparently there are a lot of people in the comments section that missed that point entirely
People assume that beautiful women are " stuck up" the truth is that being treated as if you are a decoration rather than a person is very dehumanizing.
Truth

Been depressed and down. I just want to listen to this song, it has been reviving me. 😢😢
You're gonna be ok 💪🏾🫂
This song isn’t just “good”. It’s a masterpiece, as is this video. As someone who had pretty severe anorexia for four years, I appreciate how well the suffering of perfectionism and weight obsession was captured here. Very emotional but empowering message to rise above our impossibly high and often destructive beauty standards.
The video is the onion
If pretty hurts then imagine how breathtakingly gorgeous feels. Beyonce is probably in constant pain everyday!
💛💛😘
Lol
+Smartphone Phone the song isn't about her. She's really saying that some people believe you have to be pretty to be happy but it actually just brings a lot of problems trying to be the ideal woman.

I like her earing
I remember seeing this when I was younger, not knowing the world would be so hard.
As I'm older I realised that this is hard, but true, as I've been struggling with my body image a lot over the past year. This should be showed to girls, woman and guys from all ages
Indeed. As for me, i feel so much insecurity after entering my 20’s age. I’m still dealing with it and there are some ups and downs. But I will always tell to myself, I am amazing in my own way. And you are amazing, in your own way
How old are you cuz this song was only out 4years but other wise your right

2. Sia wrote the song.
Not taking anything from Beyoncé as a talent tho, you’re not wrong. Just pointing a few things out.
Social media is a machine and monster!
Yupp still is very sad
“Are u happy with yourself” took a while but I finally am😌
I am really happy for you sis ❤️

The song itself isn’t saying that being pretty is the problem or that girls/she don’t want to be pretty, it’s the forcing of all these harsh “beauty” standards and the hazardous levels they reach that are really killing people on the inside. “Perfection is a disease of a nation,” she wrote. And it is. It kills you from the inside-out.
Sia wrote this beautiful song! And yes, it is about the society nowadays, they brainwash people into making them think that you need to look a certain way to be "beautiful" when in reality beauty is something people make. At the end looks will fade and the only thing that matters is your personality

This song make me cry because i'm not happy with myself
It's not about my body, it's about my dreams ... But thanks.
I don't know what about your dreams is making you unhappy, but I wish you the best with everything. Also, though I doubt I and anyone else can understand your exact experiences because we're not you, I wanted to let you know that a lot of people struggle with identifying, pursuing, and achieving their dreams. Please just keep trying your best and don't hate yourself for any reason. The best change and growth comes from looking at mistakes and rough points in life as challenges. I struggle with loving myself too, Lisa. However, I think you and I are doing better and will do a lot better in life than we think. Please do me a favor though, if you ever feel like this dislike of yourself gets so far out of hand that you can't manage it alone, then talk to a therapist.
do be honest same
my shoulders and thighs are huge
Aww, Priya, trust me, the size of your thighs and shoulders doesn't matter. It's your personality that really matters. Personally, I'd rather hang out with or date a person who had big shoulders and thighs and was kind than a person who didn't and was cruel. Besides, I've met plenty of guys and girls who actually thought thick thighs were quite attractive. They must make you look like such a powerful woman! I feel like if I had your shoulders, I'd be able to carry myself so much more confidently.
7 years later this song is still as relevant.
