The Track

"Most Girls" - Hailee Steinfeld (3m25s)

(will be edited to 2m59s for my video)

I have chosen this track because I believe it sends an important message to the populace - that you, although an individual, are also one of many unique individuals and that no one should be portrayed as ordinary and unwanted. The repeated line in the chorus "I wanna be like most girls" depicts this message as the artist is sending the message out that most girls are equally amazing, no matter what they choose to do in their spare time, and that it is not a bad thing (unless it harms somebody).
I chose this song because I believe that it broadcasts an important message that everyone should hear whether they are male or female, however I will be able to send a strong message of joy and appreciation for women that are under appreciated in a patriarchal society with this song. I want to show how people of different ages, genders, sexualities and more are included in this message.
Also, spreading a message that being unique is not the same as not conforming to what everyone around you enjoys is important as many young girls try so hard to not conform to the wants of society and end up projecting an image that they don't want because of

this. As my target audience is 16-25 year old girls, this is especially important as it is a period in their lives of moving on from the easy life of living at home and doing exams and making choices that decide their futures. Knowing that whatever they choose in life, from clothing to university, to doing the same as what everybody else does or completely the opposite, they are still themself and therefore unique.


One of my reasons for endorsing this artist is that her first single, "Love Myself" is, as the title implies, about loving yourself for who you are. She has continued trying to broadcast this message in many songs and has done other beneficial acts for society such as endorsing a variety of charities, most of which focus on improving children's lives.
On the topic of this song, Steinfeld said: “I felt that we’ve been accepting the compliment ‘You’re not like most girls’ for a very long time. I have. I feel like there’s been this golden standard or rule that in order to be special you have to be different to other women,” she explains. You could say that it’s empowerment pop. It’s about being happy in your own skin, rather than simpering to a boy’s idea that you’re only worthwhile because other girls aren’t." 
 This is a message that I want to endorse from a girl who launched two careers at the same time and has made it clear that neither is more important than the other, that she simply loves both and is strong enough to do both.
