Superchick got their first break opening for Audio Adrenaline in 1999.
In 2000, the band self-released their first album, Karaoke Superstars, which was later re-released once they were signed to Inpop Records. Having had songs appear in Legally Blonde, Cadet Kelly and on several television shows including the Real World and the X-Games, Superchick is one of the most played garage bands.
The band's line-up has changed over the years. In the beginning, there were eight members, including crew. Members credited for Karaoke Superstars were sisters Tricia [lead vocals] and Melissa [guitar, vocals] Brock, brothers Matt [bass] and Ben [drums] Dally, Dave [lead guitar, keys] Ghazarian, Andrew [percussion] Vegas, Dan [lighting, pyro] Larson, and Max [keys, guitar, turntables] Hsu.
With the release of their second album, Last One Picked, the line-up listed Tricia, Melissa, Matt, and Max with the addition of Justin [lead guitar] Sharbaro and Brian [drums] Fitch. Their remix album, Regeneration, marked the return of Dave, with Tricia, Melissa, Matt, and Max returning. The release of Beauty from Pain brought with it the band's current incarnation with the addition of Brandon Estelle on drums. Recently, Clayton [drums] Hunt, formerly of Christian rock band Dizmas, joined the group in replacement of Brandon.
After releasing four albums through Inpop, Superchick signed a deal with Columbia Records to re-release "Beauty from Pain" through the larger label.
One And Lonely

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watching tv, checking britney, televised
My guys checking out her thighs
And I rolls my eyes and sigh
It's not like I even need to be
Competing with unreality tv, fantasy
Not for a smart girl like me
Some days it's hard to be a one girl revolution
sometimes I have good days
And it's good to be me
Sometimes I get the best of insecurity
And it's quite alright to be the one and only
But today I feel like the one and lonely
it's not that I don't know beauty
Is only skin deep
Just the skin I'm in, not the girl within
But one imperfection takes away my grin
Not that I think I'm ugly
But acne throws me for a backslide
I won't go outside
Makeup can't hide how I feel inside
Some days it's hard to be a one girl revolution
somtimes I have good days
And it's good to be me
Sometimes I get the best of insecurity
And it's quite alright to be the one and only
But today I feel like the one and lonely
Oh, the one and lonely, yeah
we all have bad hair days
Those nothing good about me days
We just keep moving on
Cause they'll be gone
And we'll still be here going on
We have our yesterdays
No lunch cause our jeans don't fit days
We just keep moving on
Cause they'll be gone
And we'll still be here going on
sometimes I have bad days
And it's hard to be me
Sometimes I get brought down by insecurity
And I have my days where I'm the one and lonely
But today I chose to be the one and only
Yeah, I'm the one and only, yeah
The lyrics of "One and Lonely" by Superchick describe the struggles of a woman trying to maintain her confidence in a world that constantly bombards her with unrealistic beauty standards. The song begins with the singer witnessing her male friends ogling at Britney Spears on TV, which leads her to feel like she can never measure up to the artificially perfect image presented by the media. She acknowledges that she is a smart girl who doesn't need to compete with reality TV, but it is still hard for her to feel like 'one girl revolution' some days.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's insecurities, particularly about her acne. She understands that beauty is only skin-deep, but she still can't help but feel self-conscious about her imperfections. Even makeup can't hide how she feels on the inside, and this makes it hard for her to feel like she's making a difference in the world.
The chorus of the song is a reminder that everyone has bad days and moments of self-doubt, but it's important to keep moving forward. The singer encourages herself to keep going and not let her insecurities keep her down. She acknowledges that some days, she may feel like the "one and lonely," but in the end, she knows that she is still the "one and only" unique person she was meant to be.
Overall, "One and Lonely" is a powerful anthem for anyone struggling to maintain their self-confidence in a world that constantly tries to tear them down.
Line by Line Meaning
It's not like they meant to hurt me
I know I shouldn't take criticism to heart
Watching tv, checking britney, televised
I'm seeing only the images people want to show me
My guys checking out her thighs
The people around me are constantly influenced by societal norms
And I rolls my eyes and sigh
I am tired of living in a world where looks are placed in the highest regard
It's not like I even need to be
I know I don't have to compete with others for my worth
Competing with unreality tv, fantasy
The standards set by the media are unrealistic
Not for a smart girl like me
I know my worth is not based on my appearance
Sometimes I have good days
I have days where I feel confident and happy
And it's good to be me
I am happy with who I am
Sometimes I get the best of insecurity
But sometimes my insecurities get the best of me
And it's quite alright to be the one and only
But it's okay to be unique and stand out
But today I feel like the one and lonely
But today I am feeling alone in my struggles
It's not that I don't know beauty
I understand that beauty is not everything
Is only skin deep
Appearance does not define a person
Just the skin I'm in, not the girl within
It's just my appearance that I am insecure about, not my true self
But one imperfection takes away my grin
But one flaw can make me feel badly about myself
Not that I think I'm ugly
I don't hate myself, but I have insecurities
But acne throws me for a backslide
My acne can ruin my mood and make me feel worse about myself
I won't go outside
It can make me not want to leave my house
Makeup can't hide how I feel inside
Even makeup can't hide my true feelings
Oh, the one and lonely, yeah
I feel isolated and alone in my insecurities
We all have bad hair days
Everyone has days where things don't go their way
Those nothing good about me days
Days where we can't see anything positive about ourselves
We just keep moving on
We just have to keep living our lives
Cause they'll be gone
Those bad days will eventually pass
And we'll still be here going on
We will still be here, continuing our journey through life
We have our yesterdays
We all have past experiences that shape who we are
No lunch cause our jeans don't fit days
Days where we feel bad and self-conscious about our bodies
But today I chose to be the one and only
Today, I choose to embrace my uniqueness and stand out
Yeah, I'm the one and only, yeah
I am proud to be myself
