Daya "Sit Still, Look Pretty" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified

A lot of people put “Don’t need HVAC” that’s what they thought that I was saying.

Like, heating ventilation and air conditioning.

But no, it’s head bitch in charge.

The title, “Sit Still Look Pretty” and the song itself, is really special to me in

my life.

I grew up with four sisters, who are all so talented, so intelligent, and parents who

supported us and whatever we wanted to do and are both engineers and told us to, you

know started their own business and told us to work hard at school.

It’s made me want to share that message with the world and with my fans, with my young

girl fans, and I think that I’ve just kind of been motivated by that, to share this and

tell them that they really should go after their aspirations in life and not be afraid

of people who tell them, no and not let them stand in their way.

I don‘t wanna take a hit at Barbie or anything like that but I feel like there’s some unrealistic

beauty standards there and I personally don’t believe in that, and I don’t think that

girls should be expected to look anything like a Barbie.

Girls should be confident in their own bodies and their own skin.

You know, not have to worry about being the size of a toothpick or wearing makeup all

the time, because they’re beautiful the way that they are.

I’m not a girl who’s just gonna be an accessory for a guy like I’m gonna do my

own thing, I’m gonna be independent.

My favorite line from the song is, “This queen don’t need a king” because it just

makes me feel like a badass.

I mean pretty can hurt you.

Having to be put on display all the time can, I think emotionally harm you.

I wanna have control, like I just want to be my own person and I want to establish a

name for myself.

I have a lot of ambition.

Some people do love being a housewife and they’d love being a stay at home mom and

I think that’s amazing like I respect that so much but I think that that should be a

choice.
