At the young age of 16, Ashley is enjoying an amazing career in the business. National tours, commercials, movies, and television appearances….she’s loving it all! Ashley is one of the co-stars of the new Nickelodeon sitcom True Jackson, VP starring opposite KeKe Palmer! Get ready to hear more about this hot young artist!

Many of us dream about being onstage; from the early age of 3 years old, Ashley Argota has been pursuing that dream. Ashley began singing at the age of 2 and if you ask her mom, Aurora, she hasn’t stopped since! Ashley knew exactly what she wanted to do. She wanted to make music, be on TV, and in the movies! Lucky for her, she has an amazing family who have been helping to make her “DREAMS COME TRUE!”

Ashley began to go to auditions & couldn’t believe how many other kids were up for the same jobs she was! It was a real eye opener! The first job she booked was a commercial for “THE JUNGLE BOOK 2”. Years later, she’d find herself starring in Disney’s hit musical “THE LION KING” as Young Nala! Ashley’s mom packed up and took their little girl on the road! It was one of the most amazing experiences she’s ever had! She and her family always work together to help her balance busy days of auditions, shoots, recording sessions and her schoolwork. It’s also very important for Ashley to “give back”, so she always finds time to help out in her community!

When she got back from “The Lion King”, she landed several roles in the popular “American Girl Revue” at the Grove in L.A. (It’s a show based on everyone’s favorite AMERICAN GIRLdolls!) Ashley loved this because not only did she get to do a lot of fun shows, she also got to perform at Children’s Hospitals and other places that let her get out and sing for kids!

Then, one day, her dreams of singing on stage as ASHLEY ARGOTA began coming true!
Ashley started preparing for her path as a recording artist a few years ago by being the youngest performer ever to win 5 times in a row at “Amateur Night at the Apollo”. She went on to be a “Star of Tomorrow” at “Showtime at the Apollo.” Ashley then went on to perform at such venues as Universal Citywalk, The MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Dodger Stadium! Every time she hits that stage, there’s something magic that happens…for both her and her fans! Ashley has appeared two years in a row at the girl scouts "GirlFest" and has been asked to perform again this year! Her song Dreams Come True was the theme song for this year's Orlando Citrus Parade and is also the theme song for The Wizard Of Oz Festival celebrating the Munchkins getting their star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame! Ashley's song Diva was licensed in the Canadian reality TV series Chris and John To The Rescue.

Continuing to follow her dreams, Ashley recently completed her debut CD titled “Ashley,” with her Los Angeles based production company, MOHO PRODUCTIONS! It is available for purchase on iTunes and CDBaby.com.

I'm Not That Girl
Ashley Argota Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stopped writing in my diary
I got so sick of me
I ripped out the pages
And set myself free
I stopped waiting for a phone call
Cause I finally see
I'm wasting my time
It stopped raining

Still I went out and
Started breathing again
It felt good but it felt weird
Cause I know in the end
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Can't fix up this time

What was I thinking
Letting you be the reason
I open my eyes in the morning
And closed them at night
Must've been dreaming
While I was out believing
Every love lie you said
When you said I was yours
Well, I'm not that girl
I'm not that girl anymore

There will be times when I miss you
I'm not gonna lie
There will be little reminders
That mess with my mind
So, I wrote on the mirror
A lip stick goodbye
Every tear dries

What was I thinking
Letting you be the reason
I open my eyes in the morning
And closed them at night
Must've been dreaming
While I was out believing
Every love lie you said
When you said I was yours
Well, I'm not that girl
I'm not that girl anymore

That girl is gone
She's not coming back
Had to move on
And I'm scared of it
Cause I like me better without you
Got a post card from Boston
I ripped it up, thought it would hurt
But it wasn't so tough

What was I thinking
Letting you be the reason
I open my eyes in the morning
And closed them at night (closed them at night)
Must've been dreaming
While I was out believing
Every love lie that you said
When you said I was yours
Well, I'm not that girl
I'm not that girl anymore

No, I'm not that girl
I'm not that girl anymore

Overall Meaning

In "I'm Not That Girl," Ashley Argota sings about overcoming heartbreak and moving on from a toxic relationship. The first two verses describe the singer's transformation and newfound independence. She stops writing in her diary, which implies that she doesn't need to vent her feelings anymore. She tears out the pages of the diary, which symbolizes her determination to leave behind the old version of herself. The singer also stops waiting for a phone call that will never come and decides to live her life again. As she ventures out, she realizes that no matter how much someone tries to fix the broken pieces, they will always remain fragmented.

In the chorus, Ashley marvels at her past mistakes - she let her former lover define her and assumed his lies were true. Now that she's free of him, she wakes up every morning without his memory haunting her. She used to believe every love lie he told her and thinks about that girl with sorrow. But now, that girl is gone, and she's not coming back. The bridge then reveals that there will still be moments when the singer misses her ex-lover, but she's not going back to him. She's writing goodbye to him with a lipstick on a mirror, as the singer tells herself that every tear will dry up. She's not the same person she was when she was with him, and she knows she deserves better.
