Gabbie Hanna’s “Haircut” discusses her morals of changing how she looks to fit in with the crowd due to unrealistic online beauty standards that caused her to have an identity crisis after altering her appearance throughout the years. The track is the lead single for Gabbie’s sophomore studio album,...
[Verse 1]
Heartbroken women cut their hair
In hopes that trimming dead ends
Will make them feel alive again
Heartbroken men act like they don't care
In hopes that playing pretend
Will make you love them again
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll change who you are
Just to get to her heart
And be made a fool of
I'll change who I am
To keep holding your hand
'Til it's not me that you love
[Chorus]
We all try to change ourselves
'Til we don't recognize ourselves
Fit the mold cast by somebody else
Just cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
I don't want to face myself
So I go and I change myself
'TiI I look like everybody else
Just cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
[Verse 2]
Heartbroken women get in shape
'Cause if they go to the gym
You might want them again
Heartbroken men sleep around
If you let them in your apartment
You might let them in your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And you'll change who you are
Just to get to her heart
And be made a fool of
I'll change who I am
To keep holding your hand
'Til it's not me that you love
[Chorus]
We all try to change ourselves
'Til we don't recognize ourselves
Fit the mold cast by somebody else
Just cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
I don't want to face myself
So I go and I change myself
'Til I look like everybody else
Just cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
We don't need to change ourselves
'Til we don't recognize ourselves
Break the mold cast by somebody else
Just cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
I don't wanna change myself
So I go and I face myself
So I don't feel like somebody else
Just cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off
[Outro]
Cut it off, cut it off, cut it off, cut it off (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Cut it off, cut it off, cut it (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

Gabbie Hanna:
Finally unloading all this old music! This song was one of my absolute favorites- so much so that I was holding onto it for the PeRfEcT TiMe to ReLeAsE iT. I wrote this song when I was in the thick of being molded to look like someone I wasn’t, without the self-esteem to say no. I wen...
