Beautiful Faces

"Beautiful Faces" is a song by the English musician Declan McKenna. It was released on January 29, 2020 as the lead single of his second album, Zeros, along with its music video. The song was written entirely by McKenna himself, and was produced by Jay Joyce.

Declan described the song as "a brave new anthem for doomed youth", where he sings of the struggles young people face in the modern world.

Background
In an interview with Radio X, Declan said that the inspiration for the song came from elements of pop culture that seem "forced and fake", such as Instagram influencers, reality show Love Island, and even his own work.

Theme
"[This song is] about young people in the modern world and how intimidating it can be. How scary it is to see so much and feel as though you're doing so little."
