Cute

[Intro – twinkling music box chimes, light drum machine tap] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – bubbly synth bass, gentle shaker] My smile’s a little secret I let show Pink ribbons tied where the wind can blow I walk with a skip, head held high No need to hide what makes me shine [Pre-Chorus – rising arpeggiated synths, soft claps] They say I’m sweet, they say I’m kind But they don’t know the fire inside Every giggle’s a little surprise I’m cute, but I’m in charge tonight [Chorus – glittering lead synth, full pop drum beat] Cute as a button, sharp as a diamond I’ve got the charm that lights up the room Soft as a cloud, strong as a tower I’m the princess who writes her own tune Cute as a rose, bright as a sunrise I don’t need anyone to approve I’m cute, I’m confident, I’m all me This is the way that I choose [Verse 2 – playful xylophone riff, bouncy bass] My dress has frills, my shoes have shine I laugh out loud when the world feels fine I wave to strangers, share my snacks Kindness is just my favorite act [Pre-Chorus 2 – layered vocals, building synth swells] They think I’m gentle, think I’m mild But I’ve got a voice that’s wild Every nod’s a little command I’m cute, but I hold the upper hand [Chorus 2 – intensified synths, backing vocal harmonies] Cute as a button, sharp as a diamond I’ve got the charm that lights up the room Soft as a cloud, strong as a tower I’m the princess who writes her own tune Cute as a rose, bright as a sunrise I don’t need anyone to approve I’m cute, I’m confident, I’m all me This is the way that I choose [Bridge – stripped-back piano, soft vocal delivery] I don’t have to be tough to be bold My sweetness is worth more than gold I know who I am, where I stand Cute and confident, hand in hand [Chorus 3 – full production, confetti-cannon energy] Cute as a button, sharp as a diamond I’ve got the charm that lights up the room Soft as a cloud, strong as a tower I’m the princess who writes her own tune Cute as a rose, bright as a sunrise I don’t need anyone to approve I’m cute, I’m confident, I’m all me This is the way that I choose [Outro – fading music box chimes, final soft vocal ad-lib] Cute and confident, that’s my name Forever shining, forever the same
