[@finnthedoctor]

I like the beat, and she's not singing about how pretty she is, she's singing about how we fabricate our lives for others through photography and online profiling.

[@Polarwhisper6]

Raffalos She doesnt need to sing about how pretty she is... Wow

[@sydniewilliams3665]

Anyone still listening in 2020?? Feeling so nostalgic ❤ I saw her live in 2019

[@rexp1727]

2021 so nostalgiccc

[@jennayisartsay]

I found this trying to find #selfie to see what everyone was bitching about, and I was like, "This is catchy, what's so bad about it?" Then I realized this wasn't the right song and now I'm sad this isn't popular and the other song is

[@farahhosam2322]

Ur so right

[@ikilledtheninja]

it's popular enough to play at my work a couple times a week. Hah.

[@riyaanabrahams4061]

[@qrandomness]

***** that's true as well

[@jamielostinspace]

because you take pictures of yourself?

[@shoyuramenoff]

This song is way better than the other Selfie song. That one is trash. This one is amazing!

[@sa1uk123]

Zek Domgjoni His trash? Where?

[@shoyuramenoff]

sa1uk123 *her* but thanks for the defense. Btw, I'm not knocking on the instrumentals. I'm knocking on the fact that "Selfie, Selfie, let me take a Selfie." is not even singing or rapping.

[@JackFellOver]

I agree, the song ##SELFIE, is terrible!

[@michaelwhittaker5624]

Jack F Yeah that song is definitely not one I wish to ever hear again. Ever.

[@notsilva]

[@ValantinoArieti]

This song is my honest guilty pleasure

[@therandomsk8erben]

Why would feel guilty for this? Nina is a truly great artist...

[@ValantinoArieti]

She is, but the guilt comes because it is a song about selfies- which personally, I dislike haha xx

[@therandomsk8erben]

Hiranya J Well, it's a song about why some girls take Selfies and post them in the hope of getting compliments which in turn would make them feel better about themselves and raise their self-esteem a bit. :P

[@ValantinoArieti]

Ben Hobson true true

[@legendthriller158]

Ugh... People hating on the song, but they don't understand the meaning of it. Shes taking selfies because she's going through a bad time and just wants someone to notice her and tell her, "Hey, you're pretty." I admit it isn't a 5-star classic, but it's a pretty good song with a good meaning behind it. I know everyone has their own opinion, but I just wish people would use their brains as well while making one.

[@nina23xs75]

The girl has a talent. :)

I saw the new Fiat car ad which played this song and figured it was a new track so I came here to listen in full. I was surprised this is from 2013 and I've never heard of Nina Nesbitt before!

[@amieheartjustin]

This is the part where Nina becomes famous worldwide and we can all cry together. Love this so much

[@SallycrosbyUk]

I love this! So true. People forget sometimes that only what people want you to see ends up on Facebook...

[@nublessed8993]

I know this song may seem stupid at first, it did to me like who makes a song about selfies but It actually has a good meaning, "selfies; the life we want to show you" it's about how people only put up pictures of the way they want to be perceived on the internet. No one shares the bad things about their lives.

[@fennel85]

she is so beautiful

[@martinso_]

I still remember Nina posting her youtube videos covering songs in random places, like singing The A Team at a train station for example. I no longer see Nina as a girl anymore, I now see her as a beautiful and talent woman.

[@pawprintsmusic]

so underrated. This woman is a legend.

[@florenciamarquez1807]

People, this is what she said about the song: "I think what i’m trying to get across in this song and video is that even though some people’s lives seem great on the internet, we are all human at the end of the day and nobody’s life is perfect. Selfies for me most of the time are just a bit of fun and I hope that’s reflected in the video, hope it makes you smile." Nina, I love you

[@lmouss994]

5 years since I knew Nina, now still coming to her channel to remember the good old days! Love you nina.

[@ipwncocacola]

Nina is so underrated and I'm so glad she's getting noticed. Same with Lucy Spraggan and Shannon Saunders.

[@psichisiel027]

She's a good artist. I'm still hoping that she'll recognize as one. And not as Ed Sheeran's Ex- girlfriend. Amen.

[@sweetaty91]

I know girls who take picture of theirselves looking happy and having a great time, when the reality of their lives is that they are feeling misserable, but they like the attention they get when people like their pictures. Their real feelings hide behind these pictures. I think the song is describing those girls. So this song does makes sense.

[@nancyoneill9025]

She's so gorgeous.

[@heffelumpphotoco]

It's a shame her album isn't on the U.S. iTunes Store or I'd totally buy it. Nina is so talented!

This song is so lovely and the lyrics .....I feel I should to send this video at my mother ease she "takes picture of herself" everydays.

[@PaulWesleylovettaja]

I'm not even sure why almost every 'hate' commets are saying that the topic of this song is stupid, but she's just taking a stand about how we create a perfect and happy and amazing life to ourselves via internet and social media. That every time when we post a new selfie, about what we are doing or something, we want to be noticed and create an illusion that our lives are full of life and everything, even, when they are not.

[@FaithbreakGomezTrisKatniss01]

I love nina nesbitt. She's just awesome

So pumped for Peroxide! It's hard to believe I'm the same age as her she's so talented.

Saw Nina in NYC's Central Park performing at the NYRR Scotland Run this morning...she's not just a pretty face, but a legit talent...plays good rhythm guitar, her voice has great range and resonance, her songs aren't just pop and she has real stage presence...watch out for this one...she's making it big...

[@gatitosdefresa]

the eternal struggle of "what a catchy song" and "oh my god that's what its about."

[@izzyharperrxx6460]

I love this song she's so pretty

[@aurorachiuu]

There is a deeper meaning to this song. It's not really just about selfies. The following is what she wrote to explain "Selfies" on Tumblr. I wrote this track during the recent Cats & Carbonara tour with my bassist when we were discussing how when people feel a bit low about themselves they often take pictures of them looking happy, feeling good, out with friends or doing cool things. Then posting them online to perhaps make themselves feel better or sometimes to try and make the person that’s let them down know what they are missing. I’ll put my hands up and say I’ve done it myself. Some people would call it attention seeking and immature, others would say what’s the harm in trying to feel good about yourself and for most of us it’s perhaps just a bit of innocent fun. It’s something I’m noticing people doing more and more and all of a sudden ‘selfies’ has exploded in to this word that everyone uses and talks about. I guess social networks have made it easy for us to express ourselves and give us the ability to live our lives through a kind of ‘fake reality’. A lot of us only put up what we want to show everyone, meaning people don’t see the not so great parts of our lives too. I think what i’m trying to get across in this song and video is that even though some people’s lives seem great on the internet, we are all human at the end of the day and nobody’s life is perfect. Selfies for me most of the time are just a bit of fun and I hope that’s reflected in the video, hope it makes you smile :)

The most delightful song you'll ever hear about selfies. Pretty much.

[@hamyvu3111]

Love this song

[@briarbriar]

You people that think this is about just taking selfies just don't get it... It's about insecurities and having to take these pics just to reassure yourself that people like you/are jealous of you. Terrific song, Nina, captures this generation perfectly.

[@CaptainAMAZINGGG]

Basically why I hated selfies bkuz that is messed up and it's like, and ppl just stop. But then I discovered selfies are also hilarious. :3 And now it's just a thing that's funny to me. Selfies have just become a joke (not in a negative way, I just like to find the silly side of things kuz it makes life better). However it does make me happy someone made a song about selfies ;)

[@briarbriar]

I see what you mean but the song isn't really about the selfies themselves, it's about the reason they take the selfies.

[@zulijazuli8868]

Sitting in my bedroom tonight Thinking of how to change your mind Since you walked out my life again Yeah, So I strike a pose and tilt my chin and hold the light to suit my skin Your favorite t-shirt on again Counting hours, counting lies 3, 2, 1 and I smile Taking pictures of myself, self, self Taking pictures of myself, self self Guess I'm reaching out to be assured All I wanted was to be adored Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf Taking pictures of myself, self, self Taking pictures of myself [x4] I'll post it up in black and white With a depressing quote on my life So that you see what I'm going through Yeah, This is desperation at it's best A conversation to be left But all my pride was burned by you Counting days, counting takes 3, 2, 1 I'm awake Taking pictures of myself, self, self Taking pictures of myself, self self Guess I'm reaching out to be assured All I wanted was to be adored Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf Taking pictures of myself, self, self Taking pictures of myself [x4] Taking pictures of myself, self, self Taking pictures of myself, self self Guess I'm reaching out to be assured All I wanted was to be adored Now you're telling me I'm vain, vain, vain yeah But you don't feel my pain, pain, pain Facing life upon the shelf, shelf, shelf Taking pictures of myself, self, self Hey, what you looking at?
