“this body” by reanne, a talented singer-songwriter originally from Hong Kong, is an inspirational track about learning to love yourself, and the joy that comes with finally accepting that the body you’ve been given is more than enough. In a society full of impossible beauty standards that practically force you to compare yourself to others, it can be difficult to remember to practice self-love and cultivate a good relationship with your body. reanne seeks to remind the listener to love themselves, offering this confident anthem that encourages you to really connect with, and appreciate, your body.
Clapping rhythms, tapping pianos, and dancing guitars lay the landscape for this impactful track. reanne’s vocals are lilting and smooth, drawing you into the song with catchy melodies and a fun performance. Lyrics like “tell your body you’re beautiful ‘cause she’s been with you through it all” and “if i love her, she’ll love me” offer a poignant perspective that you should treat your body as its own entity, as something you have a personal relationship with. This can help foster a respect for your body that you might not have otherwise. When you think of it as something that is living life with you, it becomes harder to criticize.
“this body” has a celebratory and joyful feel, full of soulful melodies, ear candy ad libs, and catchy instrumental hooks. The big swoop of energy from the sparse first verse to the dense chorus is invigorating, and the arrangement continues to build from that point on, crafting a captivating sonic journey from start to finish.
