What a Girl Is
Dove Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am perfect like I am
I don't need your number
We don't need your number
And those stupid magazines
Want me to change my everything
They don't even matter
I'm so over
All these voices around
They've said enough
It's my turn, let's get loud
I'll show you what girl is
'Cause all of me is perfect
Who cares about the dress size
It's all about what's inside
I'll stand up now
And won't back down
We're breaking through the surface
To show you what a girl is
Being flawless in our skin, your words don't mean anything
I'm done wasting my time (I'm done wasting my time)
I can make up my own mind (I can make up my own mind)
I'm so over
All of these voices around
They've said enough
It's my turn, let's get loud
I'll show you what girl is
'Cause all of me is perfect
Who cares about the dress size
It's all about what's inside
I'll stand up now
And won't back down
We're breaking through the surface
To show you what a girl is
You are exactly what you're made to be, I swear
Don't be afraid just to put yourself out there
It's pretty clear that you wont see us on the sidelines (no)
We're gonna take it over standing like a high-rise
Yeah, and if you ever doubt what a girl can do
sit back and let us show you, its been really nice to know you
No doubt, we're a force that's undeniable
Get together we'll work this house to bring it down on you
I've got a feeling that were gonna be there for you
Sit back and let us show you cause the girls are taking over
On a scale from one to ten, I am perfect like I am
I don't need your number, we don't need your number
I'll show you what a girl is, cause all of me is perfect
Who cares about the dress size, it's all about what's inside
I'll stand up now, and won't back down
We're breaking through the surface, to show you what a girl is
We're breaking through the surface, to show you what a girl is
The song "What a Girl Is" by Dove Cameron is all about self-empowerment and being comfortable in one's own skin. The lyrics talk about how the singer doesn't care about how she's perceived by others or what others expect of her. She stands her ground and doesn't back down, reminding listeners that they are perfect just the way they are. The song builds up to a triumphant message of the power of girls coming together and taking over.
The opening lyrics, "On a scale of one to ten, I am perfect like I am," set the tone for the rest of the song. Cameron is asserting her confidence and self-worth, saying that she doesn't need anyone else's validation. The following lines mention "stupid magazines" that try to make women conform to certain standards of beauty, but the singer isn't swayed by their expectations.
The chorus of the song confidently declares, "I'll show you what girl is, 'cause all of me is perfect." This repeated phrase is a reminder that no one should have to change who they are to fit into society's norms. The lyrics "Who cares about the dress size, it's all about what's inside" also reflect this message of inner beauty being more important than superficial qualities.
Overall, "What a Girl Is" is a self-affirming anthem that encourages listeners to be true to themselves and celebrate their unique qualities.

Em uma escala de um a dez
Eu sou perfeita como eu sou
Eu não preciso do seu número
Nós não precisamos do seu número
E as revistas estúpidas
Que querem que eu mude tudo em mim
Elas não importam, mesmo
Elas não estão tomando meu poder
Estou bem acima dessas vozes ao meu redor
Eles já disseram suficiente
É minha vez
De falar
Eu vou te mostrar o que uma garota é
Porque tudo em mim é perfeito
Quem liga pra um tamanho de vestido
É tudo sobre o que está dentro
Vou me levantar
E não vou mais cair
Estamos indo além da superfície
Para te mostrar o que uma garota é
Somos perfeitas na nossa pele
Suas palavras não significam nada
Estou farta de perder tempo
Posso tomar minhas próprias decisões
Estou bem acima dessas vozes ao meu redor
Eles já disseram suficiente
É minha vez
De falar
Eu vou te mostrar o que uma garota é
Porque tudo em mim é perfeito
Quem liga pra um tamanho de vestido
É tudo sobre o que está dentro
Vou me levantar
E não vou mais cair
Estamos indo além da superfície
Para te mostrar o que uma garota é
Você é exatamente o que foi feita para ser
Eu juro
Não tenha medo
Apenas encare o mundo lá fora
Está bem claro que
Que você não nos verá às margens
Nós vamos tomar conta
De pé como um arranha-céu
E se alguma vez você duvidar do que uma garota pode fazer
Sente-se e deixe-nos mostrar a você
Foi realmente um prazer te conhecer
Sem dúvidas
Nós somos uma força incontestável
Aproxime-se
Nós vamos nos esforçar para te fazer entender
Eu sinto que estaremos lá por você
Sente-se e deixe-nos mostrar a você
Porque as garotas estão tomando conta
Em uma escala de um a dez
Eu sou perfeita como eu sou
Eu não preciso do seu número
Nós não precisamos do seu número
Eu vou te mostrar o que uma garota é
Porque tudo em mim é perfeito
Quem liga pra um tamanho de vestido
É tudo sobre o que está dentro
Vou me levantar
E não vou mais cair
Estamos indo além da superfície
Para te mostrar o que uma garota é
Estamos indo além da superfície
Para te mostrar o que uma garota é

I love this. Disney channel needs to focus on more important issues like this one in their shows. Especially on things like Girl Meets World- rather than focusing on silly, materialistic issues as they do normally, they need to pay more attention to the shit girls go through on a day to day basis. Especially as it's a show about growing up; it needs to tackle some more ideas about feminism and how genuinely hard it is to be a girl. You're bleeding constantly, have extremely unrealistic beauty standards, are told you are too girly by some people and too boy like by others. Sexuality is something they should discuss in television too, as it would be greatly appreciated by the LGBTQA+ community to see someone who has to go through what they do. With male characters as well... It would be nice to see men who don't need to be handsome, macho, or tough to be a man. I'm especially pleased with the diversity that I'm starting to see in Disney. I hope they keep it up!
@MapperMalta
It's hard for me to be very masculine, I'm such an effeminate guy
@Jenny-fn8lg
The opposite is true for me- I'm a girl, and my parents consistently reprimand me for dressing boy-like, or for not like traditionally feminine things. I'm sick of gender categorizing, and just gender stereotypes in general. How should it affect anyone if you prefer traditionally feminine or traditionally masculine things? All in all, I think people should be able to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anybody.
@loliheartfoxy2000
FangirlingWriter I feel you I wear actual boy clothes like Minecraft shirts AND PPL DONT THINK GIRLS SHOULD DO THAT my parents want me to wear dresses to church I do but I'm a tomboy I love regular legos and not the girl sets I love video games and all that other stuff and I'm just gonna flip the bird to sexists
@meka1977
EXACTLY!! Rowan Blanchard does know a bit about feminism though
@Jenny-fn8lg
Yeah, I just wish it was included in the shows.
@jarbincks6715
This song is so reminiscent of early 2000s pop, I love it!
@perksofbeingalameoralexand8462
I'm sixteen, and I love this song. I think it really does show a lot of the things girl go through. It basically is saying, it doesn't matter what people rate you, you are who you are. Stand up for yourself, because you're amazing just the way you are. I think the guys who rate girls before getting to know them, should take a step back and rethink the choices. Same with girls who want to judge a guy before getting to know them. Girls are rad. Guys are rad. Okay~ That's all. Thanks for this song, Disney. It will really inspire a lot of girls to speak up for themselves or believe in themselves more. Hopefully guys too!
