Directed by Sophie Muller
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
So you think you got it all worked out
You got your hotpants on
You got your arse right out, you
Think that you are something new and special
And me and my drab-dress, we won't do at all
I spent so long tryin' to fit the prototype
I kept slippin' in the heels and I never got it right, oh
What's the use? What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
So you keep doing what you're doing down there
'Cause I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time, I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better
[Chorus]
All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder why I'm still here, well
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's OK
All you girls
When you look into the mirror, tell me how do you appear?
Well you're superficial, I'm a misfit
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
But that's OK
[Verse 2]
So you got your little groups and gangs
You got your VIP, your "member-only"-things
Your happy-clappys and your VC crew
And if you get in their way, they got 10 on you
And I don't wanna be in that game
Don't wanna follow the leader, no way
What's the use? What's the point?
You've got the wrong girl
[Pre-Chorus]
So you keep doing what you're doing down there
'Cause I'll be flying higher
Waste your own time, I don't care
Anything you can do, I can do better
[Chorus]
All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder why I'm still here, well
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's OK
All you girls
When you look into the mirror, tell me how do you appear?
Well you're superficial, I'm a misfit
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
[Bridge]
So what we don't look the same?
So what we don't, so what we don't?
So what I don't play your game?
So what I don't, so what I don't?
So what if I don't?
[Chorus]
All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder why I'm still here, well
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
But, baby, that's OK
All you girls
When you look into the mirror, tell me how do you appear?
Well you're superficial, I'm a misfit (I'm a misfit)
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
All you girls
You look and flip your hair and wonder why I'm still here, well
You're superficial, I'm a misfit (Misfit)
But, baby, that's OK
All you girls
When you look into the mirror, tell me how do you appear?
Well you're superficial, I'm a misfit
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
You're superficial, I'm a misfit
But that's OK

ICONIC. MY CHILDHOOD. So happy I’ve found this it’s been over 10 years, my idol when I was 7 watching this on my pop princesses dvd 💗

Has to be the biggest 2000s throwback for me

[@briannagray8151]

Remember getting this on my pop princess CD, lived for this song as a kid.

[@Growingsappy]

Hello I'm over 40 and I'm impressed how I've got through life. I've never tried to fit into any group and I've always been true to myself! Here's to all the independent people out there doing their own thing! I played this album to death. I don't think I was at school at the time, I was probably transitioning into adulthood. All you young people out there struggling, just do your thing and protect your energies!

[@bluehazeburnout]

Like others, I used to listen to these songs during high school when I was being bullied, for years. It's strange to listen to a song that was around when I genuinely didn't think I'd make it into my 20s, let alone to my late 30s with a family and a child of my own. To anyone who's reading this who's having a hard time, it does get better. Just hold on

[@mariedale6667]

i love this and feel exactly the same even amongst my friends i was the misfit. but now im a mom of two and in the 22nd (almost 23) year of my relationship. and id like to add to your last line of it gets better. id like to add and remember you are strong and loved and youll get though this xx

[@princessbeccax]

I was just scrolling on tik tok and a clip of this song was played. This music video has been on my mind since I saw it for the first and only time playing in a music shop when I was about 7. I remember going home and trying to research the song “by amy with bunk beds in the music video” but never had any luck. As the internet got better every year I’d google it again but still never find it. Seeing that clip on tik tok just scratched a 20 year old itch in my brain and i no longer feel like I imagined the song after never being able to track it down. It’s wild people saying it was on pop princess albums - I never had those so it totally slipped past me. Loved listening to it again today, I have just watched the video like 10 times and I’m 7 again mesmerised as hearing the song that’s been in the back of my mind wondering if it actually existed for so many years

[@AmyStudtOfficial]

So glad it finally found you again. : ) x big love to you xxx

[@kittenonacloud1012]

Imagine knowing as a kid in the early 2000s that in 20 years time we'd be able to talk directly to Amy about her influence on our childhoods. Only now we're adults. Time can be such a weird thing. Anyway, it's awesome to see her personally replying to people. I had no idea she was British. I always assumed American given this video!

[@traitle87]

thats the problem though you've put her on a peddlestall (??) we could've spoke we didnt try.. my problem was i was to busy chasing the mean girls the pretty in pink type 😣 20yrs on im back crying for amys music no regrets love life, live life !!

[@EditorOfSL]

The location does look more like an American high school than a British secondary school, especially given that they’re not wearing school uniforms. (And the fact the sun’s out in the last scene! Lol!) Makes you wonder if the Plastics from Mean Girls were inspired by the girls in this video.

[@Savegraduation]

I figured Amy was British, since she says "arse".

[@sawahbear87]

She replied to my dm on Instagram recently and I fan girled so hard

Omg my childhood. I remembered it! Here's to all the misfits. I wish I could go back to those days.

Just because you can fit in, doesn't mean you shouldn't be true to yourself, stand out amongst the crowd, and be a misfit. Thank You Amy Studt for showing the world that it's okay to be different.

[@jellysmith4350]

This girl was always hardout under-rated. Spat out of an industry machine, because she was trying to break the mould in this genre. I miss her, and wonder if she blew now, whether she might have had a bit more luck...

[@franklingoodwin]

She had 3 top 20 singles and one that reached 21 in the charts. She did better than most artists ever do. She probably suffered a bit having released her first album around the time Avril Lavigne was big. I'm sure she was always being compared to her and called the British version of Avril Lavigne.

[@Yousafzs87]

Amy is so pretty. The best part is that she's (and still is) unique. The life lesson of being yourself. Hope you're in a good place ❤ P.s. I love your songwriting. You're a truly gifted artist & yes i have your albums 😊

It was tradition for the DJs to play this at the Bristol UWE bar (St Matthias campus) every end of term for YEARS until the campus got knocked down. This song brings back happy nostalgic memories of Christmas and sad nostalgic memories of summer when another year would be leaving forever. Song just popped in to my head randomly and I'm glad to hear it still slaps.

I grew up with this era of Pop Music, back then it was worth listening to and Amy Studt is one of these artists I remember from that time. Much better than the stuff we have today. The Glory Days I like to call it ❤ Plus the music video for ‘Misfit’ has a _Mean Girls_ vibe to it, although the song came out a year before the film was released. Mind you it would’ve been good for the soundtrack for _Mean Girls._

[@monkehbitch]

Isn't it weird, Some bullies grow up to be decent people. I bumped into one not so long ago and we laughed and joked how he made my life hell, and I mentioned that if I had known what I could've gotten away with then, I would've chinned him. But then there are some who were pieces of shit, and still are today. And I laugh at them because they're jobless/homeless/in prison. Then there are some who will not acknowledge me because they know what they did. Yeah, school was shit, but this song used to rattle around my head.

What, Amy's actually here and replying? Holy moly. Just been going down a mental rabbit hole thinking about you, being a 9 or 10 year old self harmer and discovering your story on dialup Internet about 20 years ago. God, the struggle of trying not to let my parents see what I was looking up when our pc was in the kitchen/dining room, I'd even end up just printing things off and hiding them! I didn't even have language for the way I was feeling, what I was doing, you helped give me some context and solace. I'm pretty sure I even started using 'smurf' instead of swear words in my diary for a while because of you lmao. The lines you wrote that still stick with me to this day as a messy weird 30 year old are "There's a ladder in your tights and who gives a fuck if whoops, you ain't shiny and perfect". Thanks for being so honest Amy, I'll never forget it and I hope your unique talented self is having a good day ❤
