Scars to your Beautiful is the third single from Alessia Cara, and this song is written by her. Peaking at number eight, and became Alessia Cara’s top 40 single on US Billboard Hot 100. The song is about body image and the fact that you don’t have insecurities about your body. You are beautiful as you are, and don’t need to change anything to become beautiful as stereotypically “beautiful girl”.

No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful

This represents that you’re beautiful, regardless of what scares you may hide, whether they may be physical or psychological. These words make the audience or listeners feel that they are truly beautiful even if they think they are not.

She praises an image, she prays to be sculpted by the sculptor

This lyric appeals to the emotions by depicting how the media influence the struggles of body image.

Maybe we have made her blind

This refers to the fact that girls if girls feel not beautiful because they are not like models.

The song is very influential on society’s expectations about young people who should look like models. Music that makes the listener’s soul strong, brave and striving hard to become beautiful women who are not based on the stereotypes of society, and don’t let them denounce and belittle us as women. You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are.
