"What Makes You Beautiful" lyrics
"What Makes You Beautiful"
[Liam:]
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make-up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
[Harry:]
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[All:]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh, oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'd understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh, oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh, oh
That's what makes you beautiful
[Zayn:]
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right
I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eye-eye-eyes
[Harry]
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
[All:]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
[Harry:]
That's what makes you beautiful
Nana nana nana nana
Nana nana nana nana
Nana nana nana nana
[Harry:]
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
[All:]
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Baby, you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful (Oh)
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
([Harry:] desperately)
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
You don't know you're beautiful
Oh oh
[Harry:]
That's what makes you beautiful

The first single of the band released on the 11th of September 2011. Harry Styles said, when speaking to BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, "When we were recording in the studio we knew instantly that we wanted this track to be our first single."
Carl Falk told the story of the song to Examiner.com, "What we thought and what was clear about 'What Makes You Beautiful' was we had a vision of going back to the '90s, and bringing a little bit of that sound from 1999 — like the sound choices and instruments — and just do an updated version of that."
Savan Kotecha, one of the co-writers, wrote these lyrics about his wife, Anna. He explained to Sugar magazine, "One morning when I was going to the studio, she was like 'Ugh, I look so ugly today' and I was like 'No!'. My wife's this beautiful Swedish girl, and the 'you don't know you're beautiful, that's what makes you beautiful' line popped into my head."
This song was the fastest-selling single of 2011 with 153,000 copies sold within a week of its release.
The song received "Best British Single" award at the 2012 BRITS Awards. This award is chosen by a public vote.
