"Snow White" lyrics

"Snow White"

Can't help but notice, all of the ways
In which I failed myself, I failed the world all the same
I don't think I'm pretty, it's not up for debate
A woman's best currency is her body, not her brain

They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along
The world is a sick place, at least for a girl
The people want beauty, skinny always wins
And I don't have enough of it, I'll never have enough of it

Sometimes I see her, she looks like Snow White
She's everything I am but my wrongs are turned to rights
Her body is smaller, skin is so fair
She's achieved everything I've dreamed of
And it's all that I can think of

They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along
The world is a sick place, at least for a girl
The people want beauty, skinny, always wins
And I don't have enough of it, I'll never have enough of it

"Snow White" was first performed by Laufey during one of the "Laufey's Serenades" shows. That particular performance was held at the Union Chapel (London, UK) on the 30th of June, 2025. The song was officially released on the 7th of August, 2025, accompanied by the music video which was filmed entirely in her native Iceland and directed by her twin sister, Junia Lin.
Laufey explained, "'Snow White' is about the never-ending chase for perfection that comes with being a woman. It's about looking in the mirror and seeing all the ways in which you can improve yourself."
