about
My Body Treats Me Better is a funky pop anthem I wrote about body liberation, self-love, unlearning harmful societal scripts and liberating ourselves from self-loathing and insecurity. It's the perfect feel good bop and features real instruments including saxophone, guitar, bass, electric piano and drums. The music and the message are the perfect pick me up for any time of day, and the retro pop vibe is sure to catch the ears of anyone who listens.
lyrics
[VERSE 1]
When I was young, I used to think that I had to wait
Wait for someone to give me permission to take up a little space
When I was young, I always thought that I had to lose
Shrink the parts of my body that people said always took up too much room
If I could speak to her
To the younger me
If we could have just a moment together I’d tell her of everything
‘Cause I know my worth
And now I’m free
So when they show up with hate
Tell them the truth, repeat after me, woh!
[CHORUS]
My body treats me better than they could ever imagine, imagine
I’m soft, so smooth, I’m sunny weather, yeah
They wish that they could feel this way
My body treats me better than they could ever imagine, imagine
I’m looking good better than ever, yeah
They wish that they could feel this way
[VERSE 2]
You know no matter what your age it is never too late
You can wake up and choose to live for yourself
You can live for today
Now I know you’ll need some help
This is real, this is hard
Find some likeminded people that make you feel free
Make you feel like a star
‘Cause you deserve to live
You deserve to feel
If we could have just a moment together, I’ll show you that love can be real
Cause I know your worth
And you can be free
So when they show up with hate
Tell them the truth, repeat after me, woh!
[CHORUS]
My body treats me better than they could ever imagine, imagine
I’m soft, so smooth, I’m sunny weather, yeah
They wish that they could feel this way
My body treats me better than they could ever imagine, imagine
I’m looking good better than ever, yeah
They wish that they could feel this way
[BRIDGE]
You could love your body
You could live your truth
Go on and love somebody
Show them all of you
Don’t you let those voices
Tell you what to do
Go on and break those walls
Live the life you’re meant to (KEY CHANGE) woh!
[CHORUS]
My body treats me better than they could ever imagine, imagine
I’m soft, so smooth, I’m sunny weather, yeah
They wish that they could feel this way
My body treats me better than they could ever imagine, imagine
I’m looking good better than ever, yeah
They wish that they could feel this way
