Naked by Ella Mai

Have a Listen

The song “Naked” by Ella Mai is a rhythm and blues song that was released in 2018. The song represents women empowerment and not feeling the pressure to be perfect. In the song Ella Mai sings about wearing sweatpants and not having any makeup on. I feel that society right now shames women for not being dolled up a hundred percent of the time which is not right. Additionally, she sings about how others first impression of her is that she is rude and bitter, but that it is just an outside judgment without getting to know her for what is within. In the end this song is incredibly motivating to women and I think everyone should listen. Not only women should hear it for confidence, but men too so that they will not have unrealistic expectations. When I listen to this song, I am reminded that I do not always have to wear makeup or put on a smile even if I am feeling sad that day, this song proclaims to women that it is okay not to be okay all the time.
