I don't think Colbie is a hypocrite cuz of the makeup she is wearing or the clothes she is in this video! In no way is this song shaming girls who put makeup on or whatever. It's letting girls know it's okay to not want the glitz and glam, and that simplicity is okay. Also that at the end of the day when all the makeup and brand clothes come off, you should still love yourself because beneath everything you are still beautiful regardless of the makeup and clothes and etc.
The message is 'you don't HAVE TO try' not 'you SHOULDN'T try'. This message is telling everyone that they are not what they look like or what they wear. You could wear no makeup and wear old, worn out, cheap clothes, and be perfect, because that's how you feel comfortable, then some people feel comfortable with loads of makeup and expensive clothes. No song is literal. They use metaphors all the time, strop trying so hard to find something to critique her on.
It’ll get me emotional and sentimental with each time I listen to this song. So touching. I would like to recommend it to all of those friends who are not confident with themselves and tell them that they worth everything beautiful in this world.
i love how the whole song is about being yourself and not caring about what others say, and people still go and comment how the make up looks ugly on her or her bra is showing. i think you're missing the point guys.
Try....this song reaches across every generation, from the very young to the savvy seniors! I love it! There hasn't been a song that touched my heart so deeply since Christina Aguilera sang Beautiful!
Love the acoustic version. she's a positive Real life messenger, and is judt sending a Long and clear ment to hear ckassic for reminders. WHY the message is more then a crowd full of lighters. .I have met her at concert she us a delightful woman add well. She hugged me and my daughter , strangers you jus Dont see , that with it fear and violence these days. ..Sad but humanity our life alike her make it better for sure. .Godspeed and #FaithfulFusion. get a endless supply 8)
I used to agree whole heartedly with this but one sold out and music currently not so good and its not Colbie. Sara is nothing without Javi, Josh, and Daniel sadly. There is Colbie Caillat and there is mediocrity.
Now that is one artist that can sing without the changes..and one artist who isnt afraid of what people think about her without any makeup on..:) she is perfect with and without makeup!!
I love this song I think what shes saying in the first couple of verses is what everyone tells themselves. "We have to keep this up so people will like us." The last verse is her telling everyone that they should stop trying to please others as long as we love ourselves. Can't believe some people though...
This is a Beautiful song and message. Young girls, hopefully, will HEAR the words and understand the meaning. I, personally, am not a young girl :( ...., but I just love Colbie's voice and the message in this song. Count me in as a brand new fan of Colbie Caillet! :)
Who freaking cares if she has makeup on? Seriously, stop calling her a hypocrite because we all are. Do you think they would be let her perform without makeup? The music industry is too concerned about their image. Just listen to the lyrics not the image. It's for inspiration purposes. It's a touching song. And yeah, it may be hypocritical when she wears makeup when the song says to take it off but what do you expect? Her to take it off right there? And for her wardrobe choices, I bet you she wasn't the one that chose it.
For everyone who is saying "she has makeup on and her hair is curled" there is nothing wrong with looking nice. But the thing is are you doing this for YOU or to fit societys image? Do YOU like YOU?
Amazing I sing this at my two grandfather's funeral everybody cried when I sing this when I turn this song on they cried even when I sing it they still cry then they take off the makeup put on normal dress and said "you don't have to try so hard you don't to change a single thing just be yourself!" They all say that and I was like it's true it's true Now you remember them 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
From my early Teenage days until now, i didnt stopped loving her Songs & HER. She is amazing. she really didnt tried to be as perfect as other Artists. Xoxoxo, CC
The song is about not wanting to put on your makeup and do your hair if YOU don't want too, because people should love you at your natural state. She does it for herself, she isn't being a hypocrite. The song is about self love, and everyone here is hating on her.
love this song so beautiful and has a great message all you people that are talking trash about her are crazy she is beautiful and talented rock on colbie
Even though there are many songs out there that has some strong meaning to it. This is by far the best one of all that I truly love the MOST. You don't have to try so hard to be someone who you aren't. Just be yourself regardless of what others say because in the end it doesn't matter, it's all about you that matters the most.
It*s storytelling....plain and simple. The songs people sing are from their point of view or the view of the songwriter. A vocal artist job is to tell the story or get a message across. A song can be about your internal struggle that you are singing to yourself as well. This is a powerful song.
in response i think this song it true to itself and special in every way, on the same note Colbie isn't trying to be anything by wearing make up... she is performing and looking presentable in her job. also its not like she wears buckets of make up... She wears the same amount as any average woman and thank god for song writers like her who tell young vulnerable girls that they don't have to meet anyone's expectations but their own. I'm like wearing a little bit of make up but i also love my self the way I am
Whats with all the hate?? What would u want her to do?? Jump out of bed and coming here in her pj to sinng??? She put just a little make up just to look decent ...u miss the the point of the song guys....
In a lot of videos that use filters to make them sound better and when they sing on stage that sound horrible but colbie sounds exvtly like I knew she would she is the best singer in the singer wall of fame I love her and want to meet her but I can't
We can wear make up and buy nice clothes, but if we, or you guys do that, i think it should be done because you appreciate yourself, not because you feel like you don't belong if you don't wear the make up and etc. You don't have to change the way you are just because of others. You are you. You are one of a kind, no one else can become you. You should be able to like yourself, be grateful for who you are, no matter what others said about you.
whats with the Haters??.. just appreciate the Talent!. whats wrong with what shes wearing here? or lil make up she has? shes not a hypocrite.. its called LOOK PRESENTABLE... you can perform on your pajamas too if that suits you...
Put your make-up on Get your nails done Curl your hair Run the extra mile Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you? Get your sexy on Don't be shy, girl Take it off This is what you want, to belong, so they like you Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard You don't have to, give it all away You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try Mm, mm Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you Do they like you? Wait a second, Why, should you care, what they think of you When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you? Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard You don't have to, give it all away You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing You don't have to try so hard You don't have to bend until you break You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try Mm, mm You don't have to try so hard You don't have to, give it all away You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try Take your make-up off Let your hair down Take a breath Look into the mirror, at yourself Don't you like you? 'Cause I like you
Everyone on here keeps commenting about how amazing her voice is, or how she's a hypocrite.... What I want to know is why does the damn guitar player look like PEREZ????!!!
the fact that she close her eyes while singing let me think that she's not just singing,she's feeling that song.
I simply love her.
thats right
I don't think Colbie is a hypocrite cuz of the makeup she is wearing or the clothes she is in this video! In no way is this song shaming girls who put makeup on or whatever. It's letting girls know it's okay to not want the glitz and glam, and that simplicity is okay. Also that at the end of the day when all the makeup and brand clothes come off, you should still love yourself because beneath everything you are still beautiful regardless of the makeup and clothes and etc.
Well said!
agreed
True (':
+EelReh I agree. The makeup and clothes comes along with her job. She still has a label that's her boss.
She's just saying that you don't need to hide yourself behind the make up, that you don't need these things to be truly loved.
Colbie, "You don't have to try so hard." You are the definition of beauty just the way you are :)
The message is 'you don't HAVE TO try' not 'you SHOULDN'T try'. This message is telling everyone that they are not what they look like or what they wear. You could wear no makeup and wear old, worn out, cheap clothes, and be perfect, because that's how you feel comfortable, then some people feel comfortable with loads of makeup and expensive clothes.
No song is literal. They use metaphors all the time, strop trying so hard to find something to critique her on.
The song speaks to me up to this date. January 29, 2020, anyone?
What a voice! Love the lyrics to the song.
Very good.
Me or the song - Ha
You
It’ll get me emotional and sentimental with each time I listen to this song. So touching. I would like to recommend it to all of those friends who are not confident with themselves and tell them that they worth everything beautiful in this world.

i think you're missing the point guys.
Try....this song reaches across every generation, from the very young to the savvy seniors! I love it! There hasn't been a song that touched my heart so deeply since Christina Aguilera sang Beautiful!
This just shows that she hardly even uses sound FX because her tones are exactly the same
I'm her biggest fan
no.me. Lol"))))))
I think I might be her biggest fan... ;)
She is awesome
I Love 💕 her
Such a natural. I honestly think this is a really important song and I am so glad she wrote it.
Love the acoustic version. she's a positive Real life messenger, and is judt sending a Long and clear ment to hear ckassic for reminders. WHY the message is more then a crowd full of lighters. .I have met her at concert she us a delightful woman add well.

Her voice is one of my favorites. Only a little behind Sara Bareilles's
Also my two favourite artists 👍
OMFG SAME
Same with me!!
I used to agree whole heartedly with this but one sold out and music currently not so good and its not Colbie. Sara is nothing without Javi, Josh, and Daniel sadly. There is Colbie Caillat and there is mediocrity.
she is so unbelievably talented!
so beautifully sang LIVE!!! I am in awe ...listening here from Singapore!
Leave it to Colbie to make me cry. Just needs to open her eyes a bit more.
she was feeling it haha
Now that is one artist that can sing without the changes..and one artist who isnt afraid of what people think about her without any makeup on..:) she is perfect with and without makeup!!
I wish her album will come out already! im so so so sick of waiting!!
This is beautiful Colbie.
she sounds absolutely amazing!
I love this song I think what shes saying in the first couple of verses is what everyone tells themselves. "We have to keep this up so people will like us." The last verse is her telling everyone that they should stop trying to please others as long as we love ourselves. Can't believe some people though...

I can't even .... COLBIE ALL THE WAAAAYY YAASS !
I feel you, Kiki. I want that album too. But you know she's working hard on it to make it perfect. I hope...
In a lot of videos that use filters to make them sound better and when they sing on stage that sound horrible but colbie sounds exvtly like I knew she would she is the best singer in the singer wall of fame I love her and want to meet her but I can't
This is the best song I have EVER heard in my life!!
I love how she sounds exactly the same in this and the video. I love her so much
I can't wait for her new album.. and for her to come to Peru maybe one day.
Very nice and beautiful song! Love this so much
You have an amazing voice!! Im your biggest fan! You have inspried me so much! I love your song!! 3
It's saying you don't have to be a 'perfect girl' if you don't want to. You can if you want but it's not necessary. She's saying be what you want.
Years every time I listen
I love this song... i just found it from my FB I didn't know that she was the one who sang the song "Bubbly" (i also like that song) :)
Awesome song! Can't wait for the new album. I have a feeling the album will push back tho.
Love colbie!!! So psyched about your next album!!!
waiting for her new album! the song is so great and encouraging!
