“Special Girl” is about accepting your personality, good or bad, it details the “flaw” of needing to have drama and tension within relationships and friendships in order to be interested in them and not feeling special or interesting unless something painful is happening, but instead of feeling annoyed or sad about this, the tone is accepting of these flaws, showing strength of character. This ties into themes on dodie’s other songs about not being a perfect person and wanting to show her audience that.
