“Pretty Girl” is about a relationship Clairo had where she felt she needed to be the perfect girl for another person. Whether that was wearing makeup, doing her hair, wearing things they liked, or even changing the way she spoke. Eventually, things were broken off, and she’s better off. According to Pitchfork, “Pretty Girl” is a song about changing for a relationship and losing yourself along the way. The song was originally recorded on GarageBand for a cassette compilation that was limited to 250 copies.
