    Ainjo's If Pretty Was a Contest Flips the Script on Beauty Standards with Soulful Defiance

    Ainjo’s If Pretty Was a Contest is a refreshingly candid exploration of the insidious beauty standards that pervade our digital age.

    This mid-tempo R&B gem subverts the conventional narrative of self-loathing by injecting a delightful dose of humour and empowerment.

    Ainjo’s soulful vocals effortlessly evoke feelings of vulnerability and defiance, with lyrics that paint a vivid portrait of a woman grappling with the relentless comparison game fueled by social media’s filtered perfection.

    “That bitch ain’t got sh*t on me, but better clothes,” she sings, refusing to succumb to the pressure of unattainable ideals.

    Yet, beneath the bravado lies a raw honesty that resonates deeply. Ainjo lays bare her insecurities, confessing, “Your likes affect my self-esteem; dive head first into self-pity.”

    Her words cut through the facade, exposing the psychological toll of chasing a narrow definition of beauty.

    However, this is no self-pitying lament. Ainjo’s narrative arc takes an empowering turn as she embraces her authenticity.

    “I don’t wear makeup every day; no 30in jet black and laid,” she proclaims, rejecting the notion that her worth hinges on conformity.

    The infectious beat and catchy melody elevate If Pretty Was a Contest from a mere cautionary tale to an anthemic celebration of individuality.

    Ainjo’s impassioned delivery transforms her vulnerabilities, inviting listeners to revel in their uniqueness.

    Ainjo’s If Pretty Was a Contest is refreshing and an unapologetic embrace of self-acceptance.

    With equal parts humour, vulnerability, and empowerment, this track will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of societal pressures.

    Ainjo If Pretty Was A Contest Lyrics

    That bitch ain’t got shit on me 
    But better clothes 
    try not to compare myself 
    To your insta hoes 
    If i wore a filter on it then maybeI’ll be yours
    The girls that you seem to like make me insecure 

    If Pretty was a contest she would win
    You got me uncomfortable in my sk-in 
    Your likes affect my self esteem 
    Dive head first into self pity 
    If pretty was a contest had a they would win

    They’re luxury I’m more like thrifting 
    I’m a bad bitch every other weekend 
    No facials but I’ve tried Pilates, so maybe you’ll like my body
    Wishing I was more petite, so you’d make more room for me 

    If Pretty Contest she would win 
    Can I be your obsession let in 
    I don’t wear makeup everyday 
    No 30in jet black and laid 
    If pretty was a contest they would win 

    B (emotional moment) 
    Do you wish I was someone else 
    Want to know you love me as myself 

    If Pretty was a contest she would win
    You got me uncomfortable in my sk-in 
    Your likes affect my self esteem 
    Dive head first into self pity 
    If pretty was a contest had a they would win
