Big Girl (You're Beautiful) is an upbeat song performed by Mika, featuring plus-sized ladies in the official music video.
Mika wrote this song to support his mum who's big size and had been prejudiced against. 
A great song that celebrates big girls, Big Girl (You're Beautiful) encourages them to love their bodies and curves as they're all "in the right places"!

The lyrics "Walks into the room, feels like a big balloon" accurately shows how intimidated and pressured many plus-size girls feel all the time when they step into a room full of petite girls. They feel self-conscious, as if they stick out like a sore thumb. The lyrics follow up with  "I said, "Hey girls, you are beautiful"" like a vote of confidence, saying "you don't need to be so worried, you're beautiful as you are". The lyrics also encourages big ladies not to lose hope in love, as some men simply love curvy and plus sized-women!

So ladies, whenever you're feeling insecure about your bigger-than-average size, just listen and dance along to this song!



However it's being pointed out by some netizens that this song might make thin girls feel a little bad about their bodies. I don't think that's the purpose of this song. Mika simply hoped to show some support and love to bigger girls who thought they can never be beautiful. We all come in a variety of shapes and sizes, whether you're naturally big or thin, we should all embrace our bodies as long as we live healthily. 

Cheers to a healthy body image!
