In “Snow White,” the fourth and final single from her third album, A Matter of Time, Laufey expresses her pressure and insecurities when comparing herself to another woman, especially in relation to societal expectations of beauty and achievement. Speaking on the song, Laufey explained:
“Snow White...
[Verse 1]
Can't help but notice all of the ways
In which I failed myself, I failed the world all the same
I don't think I'm pretty, it's not up for debate
A woman's best currency's her body, not her brain
[Chorus]
They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along
The world is a sick place, at least for a girl
The people want beauty; skinny always wins
And I don't have enough of it
I'll never have enough of it
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I see her, she looks like Snow Whitе
She's everything I am, but my wrongs arе turned to rights
Her body is smaller, skin is so fair
She's achieved everything I've dreamed of
And it's all that I can think of
[Chorus]
They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along
The world is a sick place, at least for a girl
The people want beauty; skinny always wins
And I don't have enough of it
I'll never have enough of it

This was such an important song for me to write. At first, I was worried because I know that I have so many young women listening to me and to my words. And I remember clinging onto the words of singers that I loved like that. I never want to send a bad message out there. But my goal with this album...
