We are, we are, we are
L.A. on a Saturday night in the summer
Sundown and they all come out
Lamborginis and their rented Hummers
The party's on, so they're headin' downtown
Everybody's lookin' for a come up
And they wanna know what you're about
Me in the middle with the one I'm lovin'
We're just tryna figure everything out
We don't fit in well 'cause we are just ourselves
I could use some help gettin' out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear, so don't ask that question here
This is my only fear, that we become
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" and "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party
That's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful
Yeah, that's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful (Beautiful)
L.A., mmm, drove for hours last night and we made it nowhere
I see stars in your eyes when we're halfway there (All night)
I'm not fazed by all them lights and flashin' cameras
'Cause with my arms around you, there's no need to care
We don't fit in well, we are just ourselves
I could use some help gettin' out of this conversation, yeah
You look stunning, dear, so don't ask that question here
This is my only fear, that we become
Beautiful people
Drop top, designer clothes
Front row at fashion shows
"What d'you do?" and "Who d'you know?"
Inside the world of beautiful people
Champagne and rolled-up notes
Prenups and broken homes
Surrounded, but still alone
Let's leave the party
That's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful, yeah
Yeah, that's not who we are (We are, we are, we are)
We are not beautiful (Beautiful)
We are, we are, we are
We are not beautiful
Explication des paroles
La chanson « Beautiful People » de Ed Sheeran en collaboration avec Khalid parle de la pression sociale et des standards de beauté auxquels nous sommes souvent confrontés dans la société actuelle. Les paroles évoquent l’idée que la véritable beauté se trouve dans l’authenticité et la simplicité, et non dans les apparences ou la richesse matérielle.
Ed Sheeran et Khalid ont choisi de collaborer sur cette chanson pour transmettre un message positif et encourageant, invitant les auditeurs à se sentir bien dans leur peau et à ne pas se laisser influencer par les normes imposées par la société.
L’anecdote intéressante sur cette chanson est que sa production a été confiée à Max Martin, un producteur suédois renommé qui a travaillé avec de nombreux artistes de renom tels que Britney Spears, Taylor Swift et The Weeknd. Son influence se ressent dans le son pop accrocheur de « Beautiful People ».
En résumé, « Beautiful People » est une chanson pop entraînante avec des paroles profondes sur la beauté intérieure et l’acceptation de soi, portée par la voix chaleureuse d’Ed Sheeran et la touche distinctive de Khalid.
