Background

In Genius lyrics commentary, Zedd said about the inspiration, "I wasn't a very confident kid. I became more confident as I grew older. There is a point in everyone's life when they think they might not be beautiful or are afraid of other people judging them. Everybody has their own sense of what is beautiful and what somebody should look like—what they like, or what they dislike. I am into symmetry. That is my definition of beauty. Not just in people, I also like songs with symmetry."[1]

They performed the song at 'Jimmy Kimmel Live on May 21, 2015.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see what you're wearing, there's nothing beneath it
Forgive me for staring, forgive me for breathing
We might not know why, we might not know how
But baby, tonight, we're beautiful now

[Pre-Chorus]
We're beautiful now
We're beautiful now

[Chorus]
We might not know why, we might not know how
But baby, tonight, we're beautiful now
We'll light up the sky, we'll open the clouds
'Cause baby, tonight, we're beautiful now
We're beautiful
We're beautiful
We're beautiful

[Verse 2]
Wherever it's going, I'm gonna chase it
What's left of this moment, I'm not gonna waste it
Stranded together, our worlds have collided
This won't be forever, so why try to fight it?

[Pre-Chorus]
We're beautiful now
We're beautiful now

[Chorus]
We might not know why, we might not know how
But baby, tonight, we're beautiful now
We'll light up the sky, we'll open the clouds
'Cause baby, tonight, we're beautiful now
We're beautiful
(We're beautiful)
We're beautiful

[Bridge]
Let's live tonight like fireflies
And one by one light up the sky
We disappear and pass the crown
You're beautiful, you're beautiful

[Chorus]
We're beautiful now
We're beautiful now (Beautiful)
We're beautiful now
We're beautiful now
We're beautiful
We're beautiful, we're beautiful now
We're beautiful now, we're beautiful now
We're beautiful now, we're beautiful now
We're beautiful
