Overall Meaning

The song "Ugly" by Drew is a celebration of diversity and an ode to all those who are considered outcasts by society. The repetitive phrase "ugly ugly, he's good for me" can be interpreted as a rejection of the narrow beauty standards that are imposed on everyone, and an embrace of those who fall outside of them. Drew sings about wanting the "monsters" and the "losers", those who "hang in the background" and are deemed unattractive or undesirable. She sees through their outward appearance and values them for who they are underneath. The lines "I don't see ugly, I see everything under under need" suggest that what's important goes beyond superficial looks and that there is beauty in imperfection.


The second half of the song goes into more detail about a particular person, who has "hands in the pocket" and a "hood over [their] head". Drew expresses a desire to get to know this person better, to "kiss every scar" and learn their story. The lyrics "when they deserve prove, don't know I love you" could be interpreted as indicating that this person may not feel worthy of love or attention, but Drew sees their worth regardless of societal standards. The song ends with an invitation to this person to share their interests and passions, to escape together and find community outside of the judgment of others.


Overall, "Ugly" promotes the message of valuing others for who they are on the inside rather than how they look on the outside. It challenges the notion that only a certain type of person is beautiful or worthy of love and acceptance.
