I love the theme for this week's Hive open mic contest. "Woman Life Freedom." This theme was chosen by the community's recent Spotlight Artist: 
I have been familiar with the rhythm of this song before. I never really cared to learn the lyrics. However, I knew that it was a song with deep meaning.
There was a day my elder sister decided to gold-tint her hair. Tinting of hair was what was trending at that time and looked gorgeous on a lot of ladies. Also, I encouraged my sister to go ahead with it because I thought it would enhance the look of her low-cut hair.
I discovered the song "Scars to your beautiful" that day.
As soon as I finished dying her hair gold, I wanted to share what we did on Whatsapp. While editing, I picked a random song from my playlist and it was "Scars to your beautiful".
After I was done editing and adding music to the clip, I showed it to my sister with a smile on my face. This is because I thought that I had done a great job.
My sister was quick to catch these words from the lyrics "You should know you're beautiful just the way you are. You don't have to change a thing the world could change it, heart'.
It was when she pointed it out that I realized that the music was talking about a woman being beautiful the way she is. She doesn't need to change anything in a bid to look better.
This clip shows my sister changing her hair from black to gold. For a second, it felt awkward. However, I was already done editing and I love the song. So, I decided to just leave it the way it was, not minding the lyrics hehe.š
I started rehearsing the song on Wednesday and recorded myself performing it. I was planning to post it already but the perfectionist in me wanted something better. I put on some makeup on Thursday evening, deleted the old recordings, and re-recorded the song.
I had made up my mind to just publish it like that even though it wasn't okay. This is because I was looking at my PC's screen for the lyrics while singing. I used my editing app to edit the video. I was preparing to publish it this morning but changed my mind when I realized that I could sing the song offhand.
During this morning's recording, I didn't look at any lyrics. I felt confident knowing that I could score the lyrics within 3 days and could sing offhand. I did my final editing and I am glad that I have finally published the video hehe.
I will leave the link to the lyrics so you can click on it and sing along.
SCARS TO YOUR BEAUTIFUL (LYRICS)
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful
We're stars and we're beautiful
I hope that you enjoy watching the video.
