Song Meaning of “Who You Are (SMASH Cast Version) (feat. Megan Hilty)” by SMASH Cast
This song is a powerful anthem of self-acceptance that celebrates how embracing who you are can be liberating and life-changing. It speaks to anyone who may be feeling out of place and wanting to fit in, but ultimately learning to love themselves just as they are. The lyrics emphasize the statement, “Don’t care what they say, I’m gonna live my own life,” and encourages us to stand true to our identity and channel our true self, regardless of what anyone else thinks. The uplifting chorus encourages embracing yourself and your flaws and finding the strength to be exactly who you are. The message at the end of the song is clear: “You can go against the grain, you can make your own way, ’cause who you are is alright with me.” This anthem encourages us to be strong and never forget that we are good enough just the way we are.
