Losing My Confidence by Katy Ruth: Review
Katy Ruth addresses the toxic culture driven by social media beauty standards and opens up in her song Losing My Confidence.
Ever since social media got popular we have seen a drastic change in society’s beauty standards. With makeup and manipulated photos being so prevalent, it has become impossible to keep up its beauty standards. People even go through extreme measures like surgeries and body alterations to look good in photos online to the extent they’re barely recognizable. All of these can have severe negative impacts on people who don’t do all of these.
Katy Ruth puts all these beautifully in her song Losing My Confidence. Diet culture and social media have their perks but they also come with a lot of toxicity. Put in blunt, straightforward lyrics and a dark pop tune, Katy Ruth leaves nothing to the imagination. Her emotions are conveyed beautifully through her words and the accompanying tunes amplify them. Her cries against hypocrisy and fakeness cut through and provoke the thoughts of the listeners. This also gives a sense of comfort knowing they’re not alone to those who are going through the same.
