From the eyes of a girl and from the eyes of a boy.
I initially wrote this song with my female fans in mind, but I think even the boys can relate & enjoy it as well~ Yes, it's my first song I've ever written/composed so it's not perfect, but hey! IT'S ME! :D
The left side is the girls perspective & the right side is the boys perspective... both have an idealistic image of what a relationship is like to each person... then all the layers being stripped away (clothes coming off) symbolizes that what we think about the relationship is sometimes not the reality.
Sometimes life is all about perspective. The creative vision for the video is from the mind of my fabulous and amazing friend Eugene Lee Yang. I am beyond thankful for all the help from my friends to put this project together and so thankful to the fans who continue to support and encourage me!

Lyrics:
I never thought I'd be the one to fall for you
You were the kinda boy to steal my love, leave me feelin blue
You said I was the one that you'd been waiting for
So I gave it all I had tore my walls down just for you
Thought I was strong
Thought I was tough
Thought you'd never break my heart
But I was wrong
and that's okay
I'm just a girl boy can't you see
I'm tired of being the one that's perfect. I'm sorry, that's not me
I'm just a girl boy can't you see
I wanna run around in sweats and not be judged for what you see
I'm just a girl
You called me beautiful, that was all you cared about
I had to see it for myself, the type of guy you really were
You always told me she was just a friend and then you broke my heart.
It's like a bad song stuck on repeat why can't I turn if off.
Thought I was strong
Thought I was tough
Thought you'd never break my heart
But I was wrong
and that's okay
I'm just a girl boy can't you see
I'm tired of being the one that's perfect. I'm sorry, that's not me
I'm just a girl boy can't you see
I wanna run around in sweats and not be judged for what you see
I'm just a girl
I won't let heart break
stop me from chasing dreams.
Cuz that's me
I'm just a girl
I want to be loved
Someone to cherish me
I believe. I believe
I'm just a girl boy can't you see
I'm tired of being the one that's perfect. I'm sorry, that's not me
I'm just a girl boy can't you see
I wanna run around in sweats and not be judged for what you see
I'm just a girl

OMG! Arden gave that look to Ryan in a vid!

[@ravenamberorquiza9088]

[@nickytnc]

+Raven Amber Orquiza in agents of secret stuff, romantic movies irl and it's bts

[@maryheartkim5335]

I thing much better to her is ryan?

[@ardenBcho]

@KoreansDoItBest Thank you! Yes.. enjoy the vid :)

[@ardenBcho]

@bevyberry Thank you - the director Eugene is SUPER talented!! :D He made it pro with ZERO BUDGET!!

[@juststupendous]

I don't understand why there is so much psychoanalyzing and snide little "Oh, Arden's racist for starring in a video with a white guy" comments. Get over yourselves--even kids are more mature than you. There is no need for racism here or anywhere. This is simply a video for the first song a lovely and talented lady has written. I even don't understand why you take the time to write such hate-filled comments. I can't even comprehend it. Get a grip, brats. Keep it up, Arden. Ignore them.

[@iHeartAddie]

Wow I never seen so many racist comments. My bf is korean, and we have the best time. People are so dumb. it's pitiful seeing people act so racist. It seriously breaks my heart.

[@iHeartAddie]

My now husband

[@Randomninja47]

Addie Marie 축하합니다 ^^

[@iHeartAddie]

Randomninja47 thank you!

[@lovepercabethbunny]

+Addie Marie Congrats! That's amazing :)

[@madyellingman7292]

+Addie Marie Heyyyyyyy grats!!!!

[@carramelmonkey]

Arden Cho is amazing!

[@xiaowangismydog]

hey arden, i havent checked your channel in like 2 months since i was like in isolation but i must say i was incredibly impressed with this, singing is mediocre not stunning but something that i do enjoy listening to also you look absolutely stunning inside the video, i love the concept too of a guys point of view and a girls point of view. Lyrics were meaningful as well, great job :)

[@dianefungg]

this song gives me goosebumps.

[@ouch6767]

love the mv idea of the two different perspectives of the same situation! :D I really like the lyrics too ^^- reminds me that the best relationships are the ones where you can just be comfortable as yourself :)

[@warrior4641]

Besides I happened to meet Arden Cho at Aroma Spa, K-town and she even let me take a picture of her with my me and my friends. Shes actually really kind-hearted and gorgeous in person. I hope she'll continue to follow her passion and not let insensitive-jerks bring her down (=

[@ripsimear881]

I love her voice!!!!

[@ardenBcho]

@PurpleComputerNerd01 Tim Lacatena from STEP UP! :D Super talented actor/dancer!!!

[@ciaraknowes4044]

WHO CARES U IF SHES WITH A WHITE GUY ITS A VIDEO!!! AND A FREE COUNTRY LOVE IS LOVE!!!! NOT EVERY ASIAN NEEDS TO BE WITH ANOTHER ASAIN ITS NOT A LAW!

[@jadadunn7256]

+Ryan lex Superior? Really? Reading your post sounded like a baby learning to speak. Clearly, you aren't superior grammar wise, and anyway race should have absolutely nothing to do with how a person is viewed. Have you ever thought that a white man would want to date a black woman, not the other way around. I wrongfully thought ignorants like you died out in the 1900s. Guess not

[@d3ds3cac17]

Ryan lex it's not superiority, it is the fact that the west practically controls the media and sets the expectation of 'normal' to be westernised.

[@Ryanlexz]

Glitterati 2.0​ white people only at 1.1 - 1-2bilion people yet they rule 90%of the land mass. Just look at russia,north/south america,australia,new zealand, europe, africa,asia are all under european or been colonise by european

[@d3ds3cac17]

Ryan lex yes, it's true that white people do own more land mass but why does it make them superior to other races? Whether you're a monarch or an average person, we're all human and equal so why does race have any influence? On the grounds of status and global influence, white people do hold more power so in that case, they do have some superiority. However, global superiority cannot be used for the population; races are all equal, none are better than another.

[@TokyoMattoKun]

Arden Cho is pretty & Talented. I think the American music industry should let her become famous. :) That's a voice I could listen to everyday.

[@ilikecheese2239]

For those of you hating on arden for putting a white guy in this video as her love interest, have you forgotten about agents of secret stuff? Her love interest in that video was played by ryan higa, who is asian. So your accusations of her being a white worshiper are actually quite silly. If she really was as racist towards her own race as many of you claim, she most likely would not have chosen to appear in agents of secret stuff as the female romantic lead character

[@MM-kj5sq]

It is more like when Asian people do videos, they just can't help themselves to put white man in the center of attention. This doesn't happen with white music videos. They wouldn't put a random Asian man as the love interest. Are you saying being against white worship is racist?

[@Calvbread]

Kimberly Shen oh fuck off white worshipper

[@rcl249]

i think its disappointing that so many people are focused on the race of the guy, rather than the fact that this is a great song! awesome job Arden :)

[@tbcjoe]

If her ACTING like she is with a "white guy" in this video bothers you....then you definitely do not want to watch "Teen Wolf". She and Scott McCall are getting hot and heavy.

[@laykashyap9958]

I still come back to this 💗

[@brantsingleton8497]

The fact that people still turn things into a race controversy.. Come on, I thought we were past that. Some people are so simple-minded it's disgusting. I cannot be the ONLY one that doesn't take note of someone's race until the subject is brought up. I know there are more people who don't think of race but rather human beings as a whole. My mind is blown at the utter ignorance that has filled this comment section. People making fools out of themselves. That being said... Flawless song, flawless video.

[@СуньЛао]

Camilla's Mom I think that a person is not judged by appearance, the appearance of people is judged by the entity to clarify that smart, but ugly from the dumb but pretty smart person chooses. don't blame me if I write with errors I just Kazakh

[@Calvbread]

Camilla's Mom you won’t understand the struggles of being asian so how about you fuck off

[@TheNewJul]

Thumbs up if you replayed it to watch one side alone, and then replayed it again to watch the other side xD Arden, you are AMAZING. Never stop what ur doing. You're a wonderful singer and you shouldnt let anyone bring you down

[@chiatortilla]

Wait wait wait hold up Buzzfeed Eugene directed this?? O_O

[@graceland1995]

each time i watch this video. it hits me. really. like who cares abt arden or the guy. its abt the music. and its real. and meaningful.

[@lowewsv]

stupid comments on beautiful video.

[@henryfung6789]

You're stupid

[@Ononorium]

[@KylaGrace]

Arden i don't think you're a sellout. You are a wonderful woman of God and I hope you excel in all that you do

[@paulakruger281]

I read some awful comments,are you guys serious?! Why are people still so racist,it makes me angry and sad. I thought we were past that. This song is beautiful and Arden Cho is perfect.

[@Calvbread]

Aka Nobody no prejudice the song’s shit

[@warrior4641]

Wow whats with all them jerks bashing on Arden? Are you guys really that insensitive? Im sure an amazing, beautiful, cute, talented person like her wont ever take your criticism especially when its coming from people who feel "brave" behind the computer and feel encouraged to say whatever they want with their hands on their keyboard.

[@KpopR9]

This is one true, honest, beautiful song :)

[@BLURRLEE]

Arden cho is soooo pretty!!!

[@lovesonghunnie14]

My boyfriend is a white guy. Love is love why does race have to come into play

[@Ryanlexz]

Cause Asian girls can't even find their own race.

[@Calvbread]

Sarah L cause most asian girls born in the West don’t know bout you

[@ardenBcho]

@AnnaBananaYumm Aww thank you!!! :D

[@Martocciaweb]

That dude is horrible. Do women really put up with that?

[@wendylim93]

seriously, arden cho is freaking perfect.. can anyone tell me what she can't do? she's a cheerleader, she can sing, can dance.. just name it and i'm quite sure she can do it

[@dracoaf4489]

wow you picked the wrong guy for you

[@alelobaton6505]

Wow, you picked the wrong brain for you.. i think you picked one in the 1920´s...

[@Cloud-db6zb]

+Stydia Lover no dude, she can get way better than that

[@jammycobra]

11 years later I came back to this song after watching Partner Track! She did amazing!

[@HeyLila78]

Wow, comments on this video shed light to the recent US elections. Love is love - race should play no role. Let's live and let live guys.

[@JonaVicis]

Beautiful song, voice and lady. WOW!

[@NgoZhongYeeGwailou]

This is a song about every asian girl's dream of marrying a white man.

[@NgoZhongYeeGwailou]

imaprouduclabruin You have no class!

[@NgoZhongYeeGwailou]

Apox asian vaginas are made for white guys

Semtex Blade ...but is true

[@HopefulKnight]

I didn't think I'd like this song, but I just kept watching and I was shocked. Honestly by the end I had some tears in my eyes and it really touched me. I can't wait to see what is next in store in your life!

[@TerryShinTv]

Have a asian guy in ur mv instead of a white boy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@ColorfulKiwi]

not sure why Arden doesn't wanna be judged by what we see, cause it's all perfection! :D

[@gorgeousgriz]

i can't understand why people would hate on such an amazing song and video. you're great Arden, just don't mind them. i love love love the song! everyone could really relate to this.

[@JonaVicis]

Beautiful voice, beautiful girl, BEAUTIFUL!!!

[@pokadotgirl81]

love her!

[@sebred3636]

amazing song she so good!

[@ardenBcho]

@DarkBrutalBrood I'm not a fob. I was born and raised in TX. I'm also not a singer, this was just a passion project I put together.

[@yomamabf]

motormaster wow ur another rare individual who knows the truth about Asian oppression i salute u brother

[@JonaVicis]

You are a very talented singer and song writer and a gorgeous person inside and out. God blessed you in so many way, may he continue to bless and shine through you.

[@miraeguk]

Beautiful song!

[@DEVTHEONE]

LOVE ARDEN! LOVE THIS SONG!

[@khue98]

Amazing voice

[@ardenBcho]

[@punnu09]

it's nice to see how many people you are inspiring, and you have beautiful voice

[@TheMusicTaylorSwift]

"It's like a bad song stuck on repeat why can't I turn if off."............LOVED THAT!

[@brozors]

Arden attracts so many trolls. At the same time, Arden replying and addressing stuff like that is what the trolls are aiming to achieve.

[@aqworldshottrem]

Great song

[@clarkvrheroes9276]

Love this song !

[@ookii03]

Arden is Gorgeous!

[@M_Sonata]

Good Job Arden Cho

[@Melltone6]

That was awesome!!!!=) I really liked it and loved watching it even more. I hope to see a lot more in the future and watch you grow into an even more talented actress/singer/songwriter. Mad love, respect, and unlimited support to you and all your endeavors mwah =).

[@phatmonk]

randomly stumbled on this but this deserves to be a million+ views.

[@estherxhia]

arden! hwaiting! just thought i'd come back and leave an AWESOME comment about how amazing your talents and efforts are:) as you're in the entertainment industry, you've probably already thickened your skin and kept your head above all the noise, but it doesn't hurt to hear some positive news now and then, right? keep at it. you're doing us all proud. 힘내새요 Arden씨!

[@nitroussuprarola]

this is great! enough said!

[@bostonceltics31273]

Your an awesome singer!!!!!

[@perplathi]

Arden, since I got involved in the big discussion about racism in videos, I feel like I owe you an apology for ruining this video. I'm sure the original intentions of making this were not to exemplify racism and much less to start a flame war in the comments. Just keep making your videos and know that there are people out here that will support you no matter what others say about how you make your work. Just keep on shining. :D

[@kimanallez]

arden, you're truly beautiful and filled with an unimaginable amount of talent.

[@songhuchoe]

3 minutes of my life well spent for the first time :)

[@stephch19]

Love the song Arden!!!

[@TheSchwakinator]

Instead of caring about the characters in this song, care about the song and the words. Arden is trying to get a message across that has nothing to do with race. And this song is too beautiful to have these kinds of comments on it

[@ardenBcho]

@rickyarinaldi :) Yes my first attempt at finishing a song! Glad you like it~~ And yay for A.S.S.!!! hehe

[@Calvbread]

ardenBcho typical afwm bullshit 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@neo1343]

i think im in lovee

[@critic_ism]

AWESOME

[@Lxd01]

Cmon guys, stop hating eachother! it's not all about the looks. Just listen to her words and voice...

[@leejx9835]

awesome song even till now :)

[@cloudsareyummiiXD]

Awesome!

[@ddawgtam]

you are drop dead gorgeous

[@swtdwmz]

Man what's with all the racism. Who cares if it's a white guy or if she is Asian.or who cares why would u compare her to anyone else,it's an mv,so what if Clara Chung or whoever she us would do something like this,Arden is an actress and she is being creative,there is a msg and storyline.iduno why ppl have to judge. Shame on you people.just friggen enjoy it.if u dont like it then thumbs down,don't write useless haters comments it's childish.

[@AnsonKwok47]

You actually have it all Arden, you're beautiful and talented... God Bless!

[@TheRealIsabellaBest]

I really like it!

[@PurpleDinoXP]

She looks really pretty & this song is pretty good

[@kkcting]

it's great !

[@yungstrive]

this song is nice!

[@JonaVicis]

If anyone did ever hurt you, a 100,000 fans would be kicking butt.

[@Twefrence]

I keep on replaying this song =) It's awesome.

[@skatingdisaster]

I love how this was in the related videos on a VirtualDubstep playlist!

[@sarcalstic]

Great song! Hope to see more!

[@PeachySweety]

so gooddd

[@ardenBcho]

@Szekler11 seriously. that's what I'm wondering. It's just a video.. it definitely isn't real life and the whole video is more symbolism.. it's not supposed to be taken "literally".... it's a shame people can't see past the difference of skin color. Just two actors "acting", that's all.

[@MeemoUK24]

Great song Arden you're great!!

[@idontknowkarate]

i'm glad you explained the POV thing on your other video. it's great now that i understand what's happening

[@faolan1686]

Exactly!

[@kimsoojin2]

LOVE ITTTTT!!!!!!!

[@StephersisI]

Im here because Holly Marie Comb's tweeted this :) Glad she did!

[@ardenBcho]

@SuperKickingass that's just how the casting worked out. It wasn't intentional.... wasn't thinking of a specific ethnicity. I was just trying to find a talented male actor who could play many different looks to help me make a overall beautiful/artistic music video.

[@liketragic]

ARDEN YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL.

[@Liloccolem]

So beautiful...

[@IsaacSathiya93]

She's the most gorgeous girl on earth

[@HelenaMai23]

love it!!

[@yoonee93]

arden is sooo pretty

[@xShyxo]

i wish i could thumbs up a million times

[@KamedaFamily]

You are awesome.
