Background
What Makes You Beautiful was written by Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha, and produced by Yacoub and Falk. The vocal is virtually a daughter who is bonny, yet she doesn't believe information technology herself, and, equally a event, feels insecure when complimented.
What Makes You Beautiful has a similar melody and guitar riff to Grease's 'Summer Nights' and the guitar riff is also similar to the Beatles "Twist and Shout".
Criticism
Critics have questioned whether the song'southward lyrical content is more than harmful to female person self esteem than encouraging. The most prominent critic was Usa talk show host Steven Colbert, who stated in 2012: "What Makes Yous Cute" isn't just catchy, it has a neat message. "You don't know you're beautiful. That'due south what makes you beautiful. Cracking dating advice. Recall girls, low self esteem – very attractive to men. The boys are singing "You lot don't know you're beautiful, that'due south what makes y'all beautiful." Merely they've just told the girl she'due south beautiful. So since she now knows it, she's no longer beautiful! Information technology goes deeper! She's listening to the song, besides. So sheknows she's not cute. Therefore, following the syllogism of the song, she's instantly cute once again! It's similar an infinite fractal recursion, a flickering quantum country of both hot and not.[1]"
Lyrics
[Liam]
Yous're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't demand brand up
To encompass up
Being the fashion that you are is enough
[Harry]
Anybody else in the room can come across it
Everyone else just you
[All]
Infant you low-cal up my world like nobody else
The way that yous flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
Simply when you smile at the ground it ain't difficult to tell
You don't know (oh oh)
Yous don't know you're beautiful
If only y'all saw what I tin can see
You'd understand why I want you so badly
Right at present I'm looking at you lot and I tin't believe
Y'all don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful
(Oh oh)
[Harry]
That'southward what makes you beautiful
[Zayn]
So c-come on.
You got it wrong.
To prove I'm right
I put it in a so-o-ng.
I don't know why
You're being shy,
And turn away when I wait into your eye-eye-eyes
[Harry]
Anybody else in the room can come across it
Everyone else but you
[All]
Baby yous light up my world like nobody else
The way that y'all flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
Only when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
Yous don't know (oh oh)
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you lot saw what I can see
Yous'll sympathise why I want yous then badly
Right at present I'm looking at you and I can't believe
Yous don't know (oh oh)
Y'all don't know y'all're beautiful
(Oh oh),
[Harry]
That's what makes you beautiful
[All]
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
[Harry]
Babe yous light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your pilus gets me overwhelmed
But when you grin at the ground it ain't hard to tell
[All]
You don't know,
Oh oh,
You don't know you're cute,
Baby you low-cal up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
Simply when you smile at the basis it own't difficult to tell,
You lot don't know,
Oh oh,

Oh oh,

Oh oh,
[Harry]
That's what makes yous beautiful
