Watch Hailee Steinfeld Ditch An Idiot On A Date In New ‘Most Girls’ Video

The ‘Most Girls’ video opens with Hailee Steinfeld on a date, and things are going pretty well. “I’m glad we got to hang out again,” the guy says, the pair about to kiss. “Same,” Hailee replies. “You’re just not like most other girls,” he adds, grinning. This comment doesn’t go as well as the guy thought it would – Hailee is out of there almost seconds after the words leave his mouth.

As Hailee states in the song – what’s wrong with being like most girls?

“Most girls are smart and strong and beautiful / Most girls, work hard, go far, we are unstoppable / Most girls, our fight to make every day, no two are the same / I wanna be like, I wanna be like, most girls,” Hailee sings in the chorus of the girl-power track, which, as Steinfeld said in an interview, is all about women knowing that they’re "awesome the way they are”.

“It’s not only about the thought of knowing that about yourself with the way you are, but the song basically says it’s okay to want to change certain things about yourself,” Hailee said on the Zach Sang Show. “If you feel better with make-up on, put make-up on, take the extra time out of your day and wear it, it’s really all about 'Yeah, you’re awesome the way you are.'

“And for me, as a young woman looking around and looking at other women and being inspired by them and finding them incredibly strong and unstoppable and smart and wanting to be like that, I think is just a real progressive way of thinking [about] this song.”

The track was written with OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder, who she met backstage at The Jimmy Fallon show. Tedder has also written for Beyoncé, Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and more.
