The writer details the importance of staying slim and wearing makeup. The writer also goes on to describe that being sexy and outgoing are also valuable to fitting in. Resonating throughout this song are the questions "do they like you?” and "do you like you?”. The chorus is uplifting in its message that a person shouldn’t have to change themselves to fit in and to give up so much of one’s self to please others. This is where the song’s title comes from and the chorus reminds the listeners "you don’t have to try." By the last verse, the writer poses the question "don’t you like you?” after everyone is gone and the makeup is washed off. This song can be used with middle school, high school, and adult females who are struggling with body image issues as the song sends a strong message of accepting yourself for who you are instead of changing to please others. This song may be useful for people struggling with the idea of fitting into a certain crowd based on looks and societal standards of beauty as the message given is that a person doesn’t have to try to fit in or change anything, but just be themselves every day.
