I found this song today, and it’s already one of my favorites. I love the message about fighting weight based insecurities. Although I’m a guy, and have never suffered anything like anorexia, I was chubby in middle school, and HATED my body. Then I lost weight to be healthy going into my freshman year of high school. Throughout high school, I was pretty thin, but I was still heavier than a small handful of my friends. Despite the fact I was on the thinner side, my weight based insecurities came back with a vengeance during my junior year, recreating a struggle that I still deal with almost two years later. Despite countless efforts to feel good in my body, I still have a hard time loving the body that I have. It wasn’t until about a month ago that I started making progress when I decided to listen to “Perfect” by P!nk. It was the first time hearing the song in seven years. From that point on, the lyric “you’re so mean when you talk, about yourself you’re wrong. Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead” has always stuck with me. Whenever I feel insecure, I try to remember that lyric. Thankyou for making this song, not only to inspire young women to reject societal Views on weight, but also all the other youth (boys and girls alike) to not give into what fast fashion says about beauty, but rather on their health and happiness.

This song changed my entire perspective on my body. I haven't worn a bathing suit and gone swimming in over 2 years because I gained weight and felt I didn't deserve to wear one. Today was the most beautiful day and I bought a new bathing suit and spent the afternoon swimming. It was amazing. Thank you x a million.

From a more conservative minded (by nature, not politics) monogamously married man in his 20’s who very much believes in the power and importance of modesty, I can still agree with the message of this song. At first listen I was sort of like “okay another song about how men are oppressive towards women woohooo”, but then I thought about it from the perspective of my potential future-daughter. I don’t want my daughter growing up thinking that she isn’t enough because her “nose is too big” or her “boobs are too small.” That would break my heart. I also don’t want her growing up believing that these are the only things men see. But I think there is a deeper issue that maybe the songwriters didn’t even think about, and I think this song touches on it a little bit. There is certainly a balance between caring about your beauty (which is also okay) and obsessing over it. And I think social media teaches young ladies to truly obsess over it to the point of depression. I pray that my daughter is beautiful and understands the real meaning of beauty at the same time. Young ladies, please place value in yourselves outside of only your physical appearance. Physical appearance can matter to you, but there are other important parts of you as well.

Jax, can I just quickly say, I know I'm kinda late but I just really wanna say thank you for making this song. I turned 13 one month and 2 days ago, and I've constantly been telling myself that I'm ugly, and beauty standards for women (even though I'm a non-binary) don't make it any better. I've also been wondering if I should stop eating because that always seems to work. But then I just started belting this song, and oh my god. I really need this message, especially since now that I've just hit that stage of life, and with the media portraying women with unrealistic body proportions that I'll never have, and portraying "beautiful" women as pale white, straight, with blue eyes and blonde hair, and glasses? We don't know her. No pimples, either, because women have to wear makeup at all times, apparently. And as some scrawny kid with brown hair, brown eyes, the occasional pimple/bump/whatever, glasses and bushy eyebrows who constantly tells themself that they're fat, despite eating so much sugary stuff at school every day and seemingly not gaining a single bit of weight for some reason, who is also in the "Oh my god, I have to be beautiful and skinny or nobody will like me", this song was definitely made for someone like me. Thank you Jax, keep pumping out more bangers with messages like these, love you 💕

This is such an important message. I’m 52. When I was younger I thought I was disgusting and fat. I look back at photos and wonder how I ever thought that.I thought 140 pounds at 5’5 made me not worthy when I was actually fit, athletic, strong and healthy. I wish I had heard this message from someone as beautiful and talented as Jax.

I usually never comment anything on YouTube. But this song really hit my feelings hard. Thank you very much Jax for putting attention to this topic in a very honest and truthfully way. As a big brother to two little sisters struggling with eating disorders for years, this really just struck me to tears. Thank you.

I’m 47, Breast Cancer survivor with double mastectomy, and over weight and my gosh this song gets me every time. I turn it on blast and dance! Wish I would have had this song back in my modeling days where I worked out continuously and never ate to match their standards. Phenomenal job JAX!! Girl you are hitting the nail on the head with so many of your songs!!! ❤🫶🏻

This song with watching the photoshopping sends such a powerful and important message! Although I think the most important part of seeing the real vs edited along with the last few lyrics at the end gets missed with the end card credits things covering the comparison photos This is a masterpiece though!
