The track is the artist’s second release of the year following ‘Mister Possessive’.
Surrounded by a world and a media that is rife with misinformation and harming ideas about our bodies and our self-worth, artists like Elle Baez and tracks like ‘Pretty Insecurities’ are doing a great job of providing a more grounded and realistic perspective for the more impressionable and vulnerable among us.
The engaging, all-women written new track is an ironic swipe at over-stimulation and toxicity of social media in the modern era, and the depression and stress that it can cause. The track has a lush, pop bop feel to it on the surface, but the lyrics take on a more insecure and troubled feel, searching for validation and approval from the world around them. ‘Pretty Insecurities’ is an important track that highlights the universal nature of these feelings and emotions, and the damage that our culture is doing to people every single day. The track is musically a radio-ready pop riot, but its lyrics help to make it into something much deeper, and much more timeless.
Elle says,
“With the normalcy of plastic surgery & the pressure of social media today, as a body positive artist, I wanted to make an ironic bop that we all relate to when we feel down on ourselves to remind us that we are beautiful inside & out and to go out and live our lives to the fullest while we can”
