This Pretty Face is a 2010 single release by Scottish recording artist Amy Macdonald, released as the third single from her second studio album A Curious Thing (2010). The single was released on July 19, 2010.
Although Macdonald has not confirmed an official story behind the writing of the song, it is said to believe that "This Pretty Face" is about modern day 'celebrities' who become famous, mainly only because of their looks (Paris Hilton) being an example. The music video, which debuted on Macdonald's Youtube channel in June 2010 also sets this kind off story.
I don't care Who does her hair or What clothes she wears I don't care if it's Y.S.L. I don't care if it's Chanel What matters to me is a strong belief All this beauty is skin deep Don't care about hair, don't care about eyes It's about what's inside
You'll never know who you'll meet on you way to the top You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop Down down, I'll meet you on the ground It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes It's no good when you finally start to realize I need something more This pretty face don't work no more
What happened to achieving What happened to believing in yourself Why listen to the musings of someone, somebody else I'm sorry I don't see and I can't quite believe it anymore What happened to believing that beauty's in the eye of the beholder
You'll never know who you'll meet on you way to the top You'll probably see them again when your fame starts to drop Down down, I'll meet you on the ground It's no good with your hair and your shiny blue eyes It's no good when you finally start to realize I need something more This pretty face don't work no more
