I’m not Pretty Remix
Jessia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Maybe I'm not pretty, maybe I'm just fun
'Cause I got a belly and I got a bum
And I'm fucking jelly of all the other ones
With their itty bitty bellies and their rump-ump-ump-ums

I know that I should love myself
But it's getting kinda hard when you're constantly feeling like garbage
Know I shouldn't hurt myself
But I can't find a way to lose weight without literally starving

Every other song says I'm beautiful
But what if I don't feel like I'm beautiful?
I wish my body image didn't say
That I should be another kinda way

Maybe I'm not pretty, maybe I'm just fun
'Cause I got a belly and I got a bum
But I can't be jelly of all the other ones
So I'm falling in love with my rump-ump-ump-um

I'm not gonna ask for help
'Cause all you're gonna say is
"You're perfect and oh, you're so worth it"
But sometimes I hate myself
I get inside my head and I think that I somehow deserve this

Every other song says I'm beautiful
But what if I don't feel like I'm beautiful?
I wish my body image didn't say
That I should be another kinda way

Maybe I'm not pretty, maybe I'm just fun
'Cause I got a belly and I got a bum
But I can't be jelly of all the other ones
So I'm falling in love with my rump-ump-ump-um

Maybe I'm not pretty, maybe I'm just fun
'Cause I got a belly and I got a bum
But I can't be jelly of all the other ones
So I'm falling in love with my rump-ump-ump-um

I'm not pretty




I'm not pretty
So I'm falling in love with my rump-ump-ump-um

Overall Meaning

The song "I'm Not Pretty" by Jessia is a powerful anthem that addresses the struggles of body image and the pressure to conform to society's beauty standards. The lyrics express how it feels like garbage to constantly feel inadequate and how despite the numerous affirmations on how beautiful she is, she still struggles to feel that way. The lines "Maybe I'm not pretty, maybe I'm just fun / 'Cause I got a belly and I got a bum" emphasize how it feels like beauty is solely determined based on the shape of one's body, and how it seems like societal standards are unattainable. The message behind the song is about resilience and self-love, and the importance of accepting and loving oneself beyond the imposed standards of what is considered beautiful.


The chorus of the song, "Maybe I'm not pretty, maybe I'm just fun / 'Cause I got a belly and I got a bum / But I can't be jelly of all the other ones / So I'm falling in love with my rom pum pum pum," showcases Jessia's journey towards self-love and acceptance. She acknowledges her flaws and teaches herself to embrace them fully, even if they don't fit the mold of what is traditionally considered attractive.


Overall, "I'm Not Pretty" is a fantastic song about the struggles of body image and self-love. It demonstrates how the societal pressures to conform to beauty standards can be harmful and how learning to love oneself unconditionally is essential to combat such a toxic mindset. The upbeat and optimistic tone of the song encourages the listener to embrace their flaws and imperfections, teaching them to find beauty in their uniqueness.

Maybe I’m not pretty
Maybe I’m just fun
Cause I got a belly
And I got a bum
And I’m fuckin jelly
Of all the other ones
With their itty bitty belly’s
And their rum bum bum bums

I know that I should love myself
But it’s getting kinda hard
When you’re constantly feeling like garbage Know I shouldn’t hurt myself
But I can’t find way to lose weight
Without literally starvin

Every other song says I’m beautiful But what if I don’t feel like I’m beautiful I wish my body image didn’t say

Rum bum bum bum

Your imperfections are what make you beautiful
The best things in this life are unusual
Look at that face, look at that body, look at that smile,
Look at those eyes, look at those thighs
God dammit you’re a prize
And everybody tells me I’m so wonderful
But in my darkest days I just get so cynical
Look at that face, look at that body, look at that smile,
Look at those eyes, look at those thighs
And that rum bum bum bum

Maybe I’m not pretty
Maybe I’m just fun
Cause I got a belly
And I got a bum
But I can’t be jelly of all the other ones
So I’m fallin in love with my
Rum bum bum bum

Maybe I’m not pretty
Maybe I’m just fun Cause I got a belly
And I got a bum
But I can’t be jelly of all the other ones
So I’m fallin in love with my
Rum bum bum bum
I’m not pretty pretty
I’m not pretty pretty
So I’m falling in love with my Rum bum bum bum
