Lagu "What Makes You Beautiful" dari One Direction adalah sebuah anthem pop yang penuh semangat tentang betapa memukaunya seseorang apa adanya, tanpa perlu berusaha keras untuk menjadi berbeda. Lagu ini dirilis pada tahun 2011 dan dengan cepat menjadi salah satu hit terbesar band ini, menduduki puncak tangga lagu di berbagai negara dan merajai radio di seluruh dunia. Daya tarik utamanya terletak pada melodi yang ceria, lirik yang positif, dan pesan yang universal tentang menerima diri sendiri dan keindahan yang intrinsik.
Banyak penggemar, terutama kaum muda, menemukan resonansi dalam pesan lagu ini. Liriknya menggambarkan kekaguman pada seseorang yang tampaknya tidak menyadari betapa memesonanya dia. Ini adalah perasaan yang akrab bagi banyak orang yang mungkin merasa kurang percaya diri atau terlalu kritis terhadap diri sendiri. Lagu ini berhasil menangkap momen ketika seseorang melihat kecantikan dalam diri orang lain yang mungkin tidak terlihat oleh orang itu sendiri.
You're overthinking, you're overanalyzing
Your every move
You're giving up on what you, what you, what you could be
You're overthinking, you're overanalyzing
Your every move
You're giving up on what you, what you, what you could be
So baby, come on
You gotta pass it up
You gotta give it up
And just get up
So baby, come on
You gotta pass it up
You gotta give it up
And just get up
Because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's why you're beautiful
Oh, because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's why you're beautiful
Nothing compares, nothing compares
To you
You're overthinking, you're overanalyzing
Your every move
You're giving up on what you, what you, what you could be
You're overthinking, you're overanalyzing
Your every move
You're giving up on what you, what you, what you could be
So baby, come on
You gotta pass it up
You gotta give it up
And just get up
So baby, come on
You gotta pass it up
You gotta give it up
And just get up
Because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's why you're beautiful
Oh, because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's why you're beautiful
Nothing compares, nothing compares
To you
What makes you beautiful?
Your mum, your dad
The people around you
All of them
Because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's why you're beautiful
Oh, because you don't know, you don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
And that's why you're beautiful
Nothing compares, nothing compares
To you
