“Pretty Girl” is about a relationship Clairo had where she felt she needed to be the perfect girl for another person.

[Verse 1]
Polaroid of you dancing in my room
I want to remember, I think it was about noon
It's getting harder to understand, to understand
How you felt in my hands, in my hands
[Chorus]
And I could be a pretty girl
I'll wear a skirt for you
And I could be a pretty girl
Shut up when you want me to
And I could be a pretty girl
Won't ever make you blue
And I could be a pretty girl
I'll lose myself in you
[Verse 2]
I was so blinded by you, now I cry
Just thinking 'bout the fool that I was
I was such a fool
I'm alone now but it's better for me
I don't need all your negativity
[Chorus]
And I could be a pretty girl
I'll wear a skirt for you
And I could be a pretty girl
Shut up when you want me to
And I could be a pretty girl
I'll never make you blue
And I could be a pretty girl
I'll lose myself in you

The song was originally meant for a compilation tape for a magazine called The Le Sigh, and I made the video in about 30 minutes. I only expected about 5,000 views at most! Getting a million views on a v...
