Anne Marie, Beautiful, Insecurity, Self-acceptanceAbstract
Many people feel insecure when they compare themselves to others or to society’s idea of beauty. They often think they are not good enough, even though everyone has their own worth. The song Beautiful by Anne Marie talks about a person who feels insecure but later learns to accept herself. She wants people to see their own value, but this is not easy because of pressure from others and their own doubts. So, how is insecurity shown in Anne Marie’s Beautiful? This study analyzes the song using a qualitative method. With ideas from psychology and literature, the song shows that insecurity is a normal human feeling, but it can change into strength through self-acceptance. The lyrics reflect this when struggles are turned into encouragement. In conclusion, the song shows that insecurity stands out as a strong theme, seen in the conflict between self-doubt and learning to accept oneself.
