The Story Behind The Song
She wrote it during a difficult period when she felt disappointed in himself.
At the time, she often woke up feeling no sense of pride after reflecting on the night before.
However, she also recalls how the people closest to her stayed by her side.
They continued to support and comfort her through that phase.
Because of that, the song also works as a tribute to them.
In the end, she uses it as a way to express her feelings and accept criticism, even inviting others to judge her harshly.
As always, Sky builds her music around personal experiences.
Therefore, choosing Pretty Ugly as the lead single for Foreign Language becomes a deliberate move.
She describes the album as a collection of uncertainties she has faced over the past few years.
These include questions about love, career, and her sense of self.
She hopes the songs can feel relatable and offer a sense of peace, since everyone is going through life for the first time.
Moreover, she now embraces the long creative process behind the album.
Through Pretty Ugly, she wants to show that emotions can change over time.
This shift does not make someone less of who they are.
Instead, it reflects how feelings always connect to specific moments and contexts.
