Lyrics
XMUSIC (in a mocking tone): Oh, isn't she a beauty? She doesn't wear that basic sh** (x3)

Elizabeth Sun: She's stunning (stunning) All the dudes fall in love with her (her) The lesbians say "She's so sexy (sexy)" And she doesn't give a f*** Because beauty doesn't really matter Nope, she doesn't give a f***

[Chorus] She's such a beauty But not just on the outside Zara Dawson: On the inside Stacey Boma: On the inside Elizabeth Sun: She's such a beauty

Beauty pageants People force her into But she doesn't wanna do that sh** Because beauty is on the inside too And she thinks, “Are they admiring my face or my boobs?” And they never answer

[Chorus]

They try to make her skinny Because they think it's pretty But no, no, no You can't do that to someone else No, no, no [Chorus x5]

Stacey Boma: Beauty comes from the inside, not the outside You should always admire people for their personality Not their looks People who say people are beautiful based on their looks are just talking sh Because beauty comes from the inside, not the outside!

Zara Dawson: Sometimes trying to look beautiful takes over your life You break down, and it's their fault for forcing it on you Don't give a f*** about looking beautiful Because you're just as beautiful on the inside!

XMUSIC: I agree with the girls You don't have to look beautiful You just have to have a strong heart And at the end of the day, beauty is an opinion So don't worry about it!

[Chorus]

Elizabeth Sun: Big a*s, big t*ts It doesn't matter Who you are matters more Don't let people force you to look pretty Because they don't know what beauty is!

Those damn people aren't sensible They try to force sh** onto you Sh** like anorexia (Stacey Boma: It could kill)

[Chorus]

XMUSIC (in a mocking tone): Oh, now I understand Beauty comes from the inside and not the outside (x3)

Critical reception
"Beauty" recieved near-entirely positive reviews from critics, calling it “motivational” and “heartwarming”, but negatively criticising its overuse of strong language.

Trivia

 * It is Sun's only Top 10 single outside the UK, and XMUSIC's first hit single since the overly-sexual "Veulent du poulet frit" (2002) (in which fried chicken refers to... something else. )
