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

I, as a 67-year old man, am very sad that so many girls need this, seeing from all the comments posted in just one day. But I’m very glad you could write such a comforting song for them, a reminder how every girl (and boy) deserves to be loved for what they are.

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❤

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

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’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!! 🫶🫶

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🫶

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.

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.

This is my favorite comfort song. I’m 17 right now. I was online for school when I was 13. The most depressing year of my life. That little girl who cried herself to sleep, and wanted to end it all. The girl who used to brush out her curly hair. The girl who never had boys chasing after her. The little girl who was insecure of her freckles and weight. I wish I could go back to give her a tight hug, but this song does it for me.

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.

Listening to this the day before my 14th birthday, I think that this song really expressed how I felt this passed year. It’s kinda just my comfort song, it really made me appreciate my self this past year and reminded me that I wasn’t alone. Thank you, Laufey.

I can’t express how much this song makes me feel, like I wish I could go back and change everything for my younger self, so I didn’t have to put myself through so much pain. I was bullied so much for my weight, my emotions, and I had no friends, this makes me feel like I’m trying to give my younger self a hug, as a way of saying sorry for everything. But also as a way of telling myself that things will get better at some point. I love your music so much Laufey, thank you.

24, and I cried first time I heard it. I felt so seen from this song. It took just about 21 years for me to truly see myself as beautiful and be comfortable in my skin. It pains me just a bit that young me had to go thru that. Growing up in spaces where no one looks like you irl and in media. It wasn't until college that I saw others that looked like me. For you reading this, it gets better. Challenge yourself, choose spaces that celebrate who you are. Please hang in there, brighter days are coming

*I was casually listening to the whole album while deep cleaning my room but then, the first three lines of this song caught my attention coz it hit me so hard. So I had to pause and listen to the whole song wholeheartedly... and the whole message got me sobbing.*

at 13, I struggled with very bad body image and comparing myself to other girls almost killed me. Now that I’m 17, this song truly feels so healing and to know that I’ve grown out of most of those insecurities feels so freeing.

this is such a tender song. i could fall asleep listening to your beautiful voice and the message hits hard after going through all of this years ago. the best part is, everything was okay in the end. 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

I am 13. I've been listening to laufey since Valentine released in 2021, and have been a huge supporter ever since I discovered you. Your music has been absolutely life changing, and since the Bewitched album came out, I've been listening to it nonstop😭😭 When I first listened to this album, I started crying about halfway through this song. All of these experiences and feelings that you've described are unfortunately a universal experience for lots of young women such as myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making such amazing music and bringing attention to the jazz genre. I doubt you'll see this, but thank you. Keep going with your music and career, I know my life won't be the only one you change with your songs.

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. This song gives me hope and I always cry so much when listening to it but this is one of my favorites off the album
