Why I likes the song?

I sometimes listen to English songs.

I choose this song from《 https://personalexcellence.co/blog/inspirational-songs/3/》.

The rhythm of the song sounds light and fun and makes people feel very relaxed.

The original singer of this song has a baby face, wearing strange clothes, a bit like the Lady Gaga.

By One Voice Children's Choir singing is more of a happy feeling, very nice.

『“True Colors” is about not feeling fearful or small and showing who you really are to the world.

“True colors” mentioned in the lyrics is an analogy to the colors of the rainbow.

 By revealing your true self, you reveal your real beauty.』by Celes
