She must've seen us speculating lol. Interested in seeing how it does, because it's streaming has been great. Could honestly help drag it up the chart if callouts come back less than stellar, much like what happened with Tennessee Orange.

Listening to this song and I am not that impressed with this as a single or even a song. Mainly because I am not that impressed with her voice. I liked "Tennessee Orange" a good amount and "Lucky" is a guilty pleasure but her voice isn't doing much for me overall and this doesn't sound like a song to be played many times at radio.

Excited to see how this does. The consumer interest in this song and her as an artist seem to be there so far compared to most newer females, so I'd love to see her continue to blow up at the format. She has superstar written all over her. Fantastic voice, fantastic material, and great presence. Megan's a total package imo. Hope this is a big smash and we get at least 1 or 2 more hits from the record to follow it, with the title cut and "Traitor Joe" being at the top of my personal favorites.

I really liked “Tennessee Orange” but am just not really a huge fan of anything else on her album. But I would have liked “Kansas Anymore” as a single, as I love that one

Now having deep-dived her discography, i think i can say that while this is good, i don't like it as much as Tennessee Orange. And i would've definitely preferred if say, Lucky (which funnily enough is my favorite song from her lmao) had been the next single instead of this. Not a bad single choice though.

I love ''I'm Not Pretty'' and I know it streams well but I don't think the topic will appeal to regular country radio listeners especially those old-school kind I just think there are other songs on this album that are more radio friendly Like ''Lucky'' or ''Kansas Anymore'' Especially ''Lucky'' with the heavy honky-tonk sound,I think it might do well on country radio although I'm aware that real country songs probably won't do well LOL.

I love ''I'm Not Pretty'' and I know it streams well but I don't think the topic will appeal to regular country radio listeners especially those old-school kind A song that moves the needle but peaks a bit lower on country radio because of (potentially) polarizing callout is always a bigger win over a safe song that goes #1 at radio but doesn't stream/sell anything. "Pretty" is already a sure bet on the moving the needle aspect, so it makes total sense to go with it. At this point, I see it progressing her further and faster with the fanbase she's building than anything else on the record would as the follow-up, and then there's still plenty of time for another single or two off her debut album to show a different side.

This is a cool concept, unique...I haven't heard it before. But I'm kinda over it after the first listen. It doesn't really feel like a hit to me, the whole hook is a bit weird, based around the premise of Megan saying she knows how good looking she is? Something about that doesn't totally sit right with me, even as unique of a hook as it is. Not my cup of tea personally

Not my cup of tea personally If you've never sat in one of the circles she describes in the chorus, it's playing on the phrase "She's not even that pretty" that women often utter about their ex's current girlfriend/current boyfriend's ex/etc. It's more commenting on the fact that the new girlfriend can't get her off her mind/is obsessing over her. It's a good anthem for young girls to have because every young girl has been on both sides of this, lol. It's cheekily empowering, not her boasting that she's pretty.

I will say the chorus for me is where this song kind of falls flat for me on repeated listens as the melody just feels too sleepy. I get that this song is connecting pretty well, but I do think going more uptempo would have been a bit better for radio.

I think this song is about jealousy too,showing in a subtle way And it also has the right dose of sarcasm that's smart,cool without sounding bitter I just love the line "I'm not pretty I'm not cool I'm just one of those girls that peaked in high school yeah right''

I know I’m in the minority when it comes to Megan, most here love her and that’s great! I’m glad she’s connecting… she’s talented and seems sweet, I just wish I enjoyed her voice and music more!

Me and my wife both really enjoyed her album and like this song a lot, though I think for both me and my wife our favorite song on the album was “Sleep on my Side”, though idk how radio friendly that would be. I’m Not Pretty definitely sounds more radio friendly that Sleep on my Side.

Pulled in 47 adds today and had over 50 if we count a few stations that added it early. Very promising start. Megan's definitely on her way to being a star.

Hoping this one climbs at a similar pace as "Watermelon Moonshine" by Lainey Wilson, so we can get "Lucky" or "Traitor Joe" as a summer single next year!

Singer-songwriter Logan Crosby and co-writer Ben Williams with the cameos in the beginning of the music video.

Love the concept of the video. It reminds me of Miranda's "Only Prettier" video from back in the day. Definitely very fitting for this song as well.

I like this better than "Tennessee Orange" but it's just okay. Her singing is way too laid back for me and doesn't really carry the songs. The hook, melody and production are okay but don't really stand out in anyway. The music video is cute though.
Add her to the small group of women I don't really care for along with Cassadee Pope I guess. I'll check out future singles here and there hoping something clicks.
