All About That Bass
Nicole Cross Lyrics

Because you know I'm all about that bass,
I prioritize body size over societal beauty standards

'Bout that bass, no treble
I prefer curves over a thin figure

I'm all 'bout that bass, 'bout that bass, no treble
I am emphasizing the importance of curves

Yeah it's pretty clear, I ain't the same as you
I acknowledge that I do not conform to societal standards of beauty

But I can shake it, shake it like I'm supposed to do
I embrace my curves and am confident in my body

'Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
I possess attractive physical features that are desirable to men

And all the right moves in all the right places
I know how to accentuate my curves in a way that is attractive

I see the magazines working that Photoshop
I recognize the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by the media

We all know that ain't real
We are aware that the images presented in the media are often heavily edited

Come on now, make it stop
I am challenging the unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by the media

If you got beauty beauty just raise 'em up
If you possess attractive physical features, embrace and celebrate them

'Cause every inch of you is perfect
Your body is perfect just the way it is

From the bottom to the top
Every part of your body is beautiful

Yeah, my momma she told me don't worry about your size
My mother taught me that body size should not be a source of worry or insecurity

She says, boys like a girl full of beauty she holds inside
My mother taught me that inner beauty is just as important as physical beauty

You know I won't be no stick-figure, silicone Barbie doll,
I reject the idea that a thin, plastic-like figure is the ideal female body type

So, if that's what's you're into
If you prefer a thin, plastic-like figure, then I am not the person for you

Then go ahead and move along
You are free to pursue your personal preferences

I'm bringing beauty back
I am reshaping societal beauty standards to include different body types

Go ahead and tell everyone you know that
Spread the message of body positivity and body acceptance

No, I'm just saying
I am not trying to offend anyone, I am just expressing my beliefs

I know you think you're fat,
I understand that society has conditioned us to view certain body types as 'fat' or undesirable

But I'm here to tell you,
I am here to challenge societal beauty standards and promote body positivity

Oohh (Oohh)
Interjection expressing emotion or enthusiasm

Oh yeah Hey yeah yeah I'm all about that bass
Reaffirmation of the importance of body positivity and acceptance
