What Makes You Beautiful
1975 the Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're turning heads when you
Walk through the door
Don't need makeup to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want
You so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you
And I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful
Oh, come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
You're acting shy, I don't know why
I can tell by the look in your eyes
And everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want
You so desperately
Well, I'm looking at you at
You and I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
You don't know you're beautiful
The song "What Makes You Beautiful" by British band One Direction was released in 2011, and it became an instant global hit. The song is about a guy who is trying to convince a girl that she is beautiful, but she is unaware of it. The song has a peppy tune and catchy lyrics, which make it a perfect pop song.
The first verse of the song addresses the girl's insecurities, and the guy tries to tell her that she doesn't need to be insecure about her looks. He compliments her on how she looks, how she simply walking into a room turns heads. The chorus is about how the girl doesn't realize how beautiful she is, but the guy sees her beauty clearly. He tries to convince her that she is beautiful and that he desires her. The second verse of the song is about the guy's efforts to convince the girl how beautiful she is. He tells her that her shyness is cute and that her eyes tell him that she wants him too.
The song's lyrics are upbeat and inspiring, conveying the message that beauty comes from self-confidence. The song encourages people to embrace their individuality and to be proud of who they are. It tells people that they don't need to change anything about themselves to be attractive. The song's universal message of self-love and acceptance is the reason why it's still loved by many people.

You're insecure, don't know what for
You lack confidence and aren't sure why
You're turning heads when you
Walk through the door
People notice and are attracted to you
Don't need makeup to cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
You don't have to change yourself to be attractive
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Others can see your beauty, but you can't
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your
Hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground
It ain't hard to tell
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
You have a unique beauty that captivates me
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want
You so desperately
If you had my perspective, you'd know why I desire you
Right now I'm looking at you
And I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
I can't believe you don't see your own beauty
Oh, come on, you got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
You're mistaken, and I wrote this song to convince you
You're acting shy, I don't know why
I can tell by the look in your eyes
You're nervous for some reason, but I can sense your feelings
You don't know, oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
You are oblivious to your own beauty
Well, I'm looking at you at
You and I can't believe you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful
Your unawareness and natural beauty are what make you attractive

I love how he sings it, like it's a tragedy she doesn't know she is beautiful.

I just read your comment. I posted pretty much the same thing, then saw yours and felt silly that I didn't read the comments first! Great minds though!
The
1d’s version, to me, talks about a girl who was actually attractive, but didn’t believe it. Here, it adds more depth, like the girl was beautiful because she had a beautiful soul and it’s tragic how she couldn’t see that she was a beautiful human being, how she thought it didn’t count. It talks about a beauty that goes beyond looks.
