Lyrics:
Don’t you worry ‘bout your curly hair
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym, another girls had her first kiss
Please don’t think too much of it, darling
I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Of big blue eyes and long blond hair and boys that stare
But baby know that
You'll grow up and
Grow so tough and
Charm them
Write your story
Fall in love a little too
The things you thought you’d never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know
Know that she’s beautiful
Keep on going with your silly dream
Life is prettier than it may seem
One day you’ll be up on stage, little girls will scream your name
The days of tears and failure fears and no one cares
Will all make sense cuz
You'll grow up and
Grow so confident and
Write your story
Fall in love a little too
The things you thought you’d never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know
Know that she’s beautiful

[@lisachan8105]

I am fourteen and I have been through a really tough time. This letter feels as though it was written to me, not by my older self, but my older brother, who has given me advice he wishes he had had in the past. My brother is the sweetest man alive. He got me through my darkest hours and through my self-conscious moments. Without him, I'm not sure if I would have lived. I trust him more than anyone in this dark world, and I hope he knows that I will always love him no matter what he did in his past. He saved my life, and taught me the familial love I missed from my parents. Thank you, so much for writing this Laufey. You're probably not going to read this but that's fine. God bless you and anyone who reads this❤

[@elykais]

As a 13 year old, i genuinely relate to this music. I’ve been struggling with low self-esteem and i’ve been also called ‘strange’ and an variety of names on my childhood, so relating with an laufey song that deeply made me feel a bit special. I felt so warm while listening to it, it feels like a warm blanket to my heart💕 Laufey always releasing the best songs in the world!! 🫶🫶

[@alexiazamora2078]

I’m almost 18, and what I’ve learned is that you grow into yourself and always become the person you want to be. I was definitely weird when I was younger, but I’m so much more awesome because of it. I seriously regret hating myself when I was your age and younger, even recently I hated who I used to be, but without her I wouldn’t be me today. And she was so little, and so are you, and she and you deserve nothing less than love. You’re doing just fine🫶

[@DaVinki456]

I’m 15 and yesterday I talked with my dad. After a long conversation about self esteem he told me how he loves me. He told me that I am the smartest person he knows and that I could do anything. We cried in each others arms and he squeezed me so tight. This song played in my head in that moment. It was as if it was not only my dad but also me who hugged me, who reassured me that I am more than enough. This song is like a message from future me, it’s so beautiful and my favorite on the entire album. Every time I hear this now I think of that moment with my dad, and I tear up. Thank you

[@saulelinn]

now i'm crying too

[@yurianantasub6854]

I first immigrated from Southeast Asia to a small town in America at 13 and this song perfectly describes my experience at the time. I was this band nerd (still am lol) with an awkward bowl cut, an accent, and a name that no one knew how to pronounce, so I thought I was hopeless and would be forever made fun of and rejected. I had my first bf told me that no one else in this town would date me because I’m Asian. I’m 22 now and thriving as best as I could, but I wish I could’ve told my 13 year old self that everything will turn out great once she leaves that small town behind and believes that she deserves something far greater.

[@ShinnyTovs]

"SHUT UP I'M NOT CRYING..YOU ARE!!" is the literally word that i can say to this this just gave me so much nostalgia i can't help but shed a little bit of tear.

[@katiethewise]

As someone who is still definitely growing up, this honestly felt like it was written to all young girls out there, but also a letter to all women and their past selves. It's just so beautiful and comforting.

[@Crying-Sohee]

‘I’m so sorry that they pick you last’ Such an incredible and relatable lyric, anyone who was been ‘unpopular’ at school knows exactly how it feels to be picked last.

[@TheGiyuuTomioka]

I made this poem while listening to this :) You and me, we have the same problems, so why are we treated differently? We both feel the same pain We both hurt the same way We both are experiencing the same thing… So why are we treated differently? We are the same, right? So why are we treated differently? Oh! I know…. Unlike you, I have no one to turn to. Unlike you, I run and run but don’t have anyone to run to Unlike you, I scream and cry but no one hears a thing At first glance we seem the same, but we’re very different. Unlike you, I try to speak but get silenced Unlike you, there’s nobody there to comfort me Unlike you, I feel locked up inside with nobody to unlock it At first glance we seem the same, but we’re very different. Unlike you, I am always protecting and never protected Unlike you, I am always helping but never helped Unlike you, I am always a defender and never defended At first glance we seem the same, but we’re very different. You can hear me say this but you ask yourself “what is this difference?” It’s quite simple, Unlike you, I was never saved. Unlike you, I never found someone to comfort me. Unlike you, it’s too late for me to be saved.

When I was in preschool to kindergarten I would draw pictures of myself with long yellow hair and big blue eyes, my mom said she always cried when I made these drawings as I was “to young to be insecure” when I listened to the opening line of this song “don’t you worry ‘bout your curly hair” I started to cry, because I thought of me resenting my brown curls, and green eyes as a kid. This whole song made me cry, I know it wasn’t but I felt like it was written for me. I see myself in this song, thank you Laufey.

I might not be perfect but it did get better, and you conveyed these emotions perfectly. the small breaths between lyrics, the gentle vibrato on the cello, and the tinted lens used on the camera builds this melancholic picture that somehow feels so personal to me. thank you laufey for this song that will always make me tear up

[@BossyBot]

13 about to turn 14 this year. I don't like talking about my own issues ('cause people have it more badly and I hate shaming myself). But life feels hopeless, worthless, especially tough these days. It feels like nothing I do matters, no matter if i'm still continuing my passions, continuing to take care of my body, continuing to build up a reputation and mind for myself, I never fit. I never loved how I was. I wasn't happy. So many struggles to put up with other people even myself. Present me really needed to hear this letter, such a comforting song to listen to. I'm still so grateful i'm even alive to keep going. I'm so thankful I have just few friends to know my struggles, as they also introduced me to your songs. I'm so thankful I have any people I can reach out to at all! Like trying to terraform Mars to Earth, we gotta try to terraform Earth back to Earth instead.

Thank you for this song. I relate to it in a special way as I grew up with a chronic illness that caused me severe physical pain, limitation and mental health issues. I spent most of my preteens and teen age life avoiding people because I was the self conscious of my body due to my disease. I missed out on so much and at times was even bullied. Now I am disabled from the condition but my wish is to release my own music like this and be up on stage touching many people's souls in a good way like you have. I know some day when I get better and can start writing music and going on tours I can make dreams come true. Thank you Laufey.

Beautiful but more important. It speaks to what a lot of kids go through at that time of life. Very lovely.

i'm almost 18 now, finally figured out what I want to do with my life. I can imagine my past self being in her room, upset about the world. nothing was working out for her. all she wanted was people to understand her and for her to do what she loves.. she didnt wanna work yet but is already at the age where she had to slowly figure out what to do for 3-4 years straight. i wish she knew that she didnt had to stress for it. her silly dream now is to sew bags, sell them. become the designer that her past self would look up to. .... you're going to figure everything out. youre going to be great. i just wish i could tell her that all that, that shes going through atm will be better.

As soon as the Song started I looked up the Chords, because I knew that this would be a lovely Song to sing. Then you started singing & I immediately had to stop doing anything, because I felt my Heart melting and a Tear coming. Thank you (& whoever helped in the Process) for writing, composing & singing this comforting, honest & heart-warming Song. Have a wonderful Day everybody.

mis palabras no son suficientes para explicar como me siento, pero esta canción se siente como una bandita al corazón. Muchísimas, muchísimas gracias Laufey, gracias por haber compuesto una canción como ésta. eres una figura a seguir para mí, estoy muy feliz de poder haber conocido tus canciones y lo que representan, se sienten tan naturales que llega a ser incluso increíble. espero algún día poder escucharte en vivo cantando en un escenario, gracias otra vez

I know that you feel loud so different from the crowd this words made my lonely heart burst in tears

I ended up looping this song for almost 2 hours during work yesterday when it released. It's so hopeful but at the same time so sad. Although it's a song to her past-self, it sounds like a message to all that is still young and dreaming. Lovely song!
