Content
Moroney was inspired to write the song based on a real-life situation in which an ex's new girlfriend liked one of her old Instagram photos, leading her to contemplate that the girl was superficially sizing up her appearance, though the singer said that ultimately the song is "not meant to be taken too seriously" and intended as "an anthem for the girls".[2]
Music video
The music video for "I'm Not Pretty" premiered on August 9, 2023.[3] In it, Moroney and some of her real-life friends play two cohorts of girls—the "nice girls" (represented with blonde wigs and pink outfits) and the "mean girls" (represented as brunettes with dark clothing)—with the message that "the nice girls always win".[3]
