WEEK 5 SONG REVIEW : Scars To Your Beautiful - Alessia Cara

     SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL – ALESSIA CARA


     

Have you ever felt insecure? Scars To Your Beautiful is a single by singer songwriter Alessia Cara, released on 26th July 2016. The song was written by Alessia Cara, herself along with her producers which are Pop & Oak, Sebastian Kole and DJ Frank E. Alessia Cara stated in an interview with Mike Wass that this song is about body image and accepting ourselves and then arriving at a point where we feel loved and can love ourselves. She also wanted to spread a message of self-acceptance that challenges the beauty standard we see every day through Scars to Your Beautiful. This song was inspired by her struggles with hair loss and being a daughter to a hairdresser. 

Without a doubt, every song has a theme. The theme of this song is about the beauty of simplicity, consent and self-awareness. 




Next, let’s talk about the lyrics. These lyrics, ‘she just wants to be beautiful, she gets unnoticed, she prays no limit, she craves attention, she praises an image’ in verse one signifies the hardships an individuals go through to be considered as attractive, because beauty standard nowadays is about keeping up with the current trends and fashions we’ve been exposed to. She also mentioned how we all have been dazzled of the ability to see beauty where the lyric goes ‘Oh, she don’t see the light that shining, deeper than the eyes can find it, maybe we have made her blind’. After that, Alessia sends a message about self-acceptance and loving oneself despite of what society perceives as a flaw and you don’t have to change your looks to meet the demand of beauty in the market similarly with the lyrics ‘You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are, and you don’t have to change a thing the world can change its heart, no scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful’. 

Adding the music video, the video contains people of all ages, nationalities, and origins discussing various sorts of personal problem that they are facing. It also features a young cancer survivor and others accepting their attractiveness one by one says Alessia Cara in a Cosmopolitan interview.

In conclusion, I believe this is an outstanding song. The music is powerful and catchy. The singer, Alessia Cara herself has an appealing voice tone and infuses the lyrics with emotion. The lyrics are deep which makes the song more impactful.

But I still remember how I would always enjoy and shake my head every time the song starts to play on the radio. But now that I'm about to turn 19, the meaning of this song seems a little bit deeper to me than ever before. This song is simply beautiful and...
