Lauren Alaina was the runner-up on the tenth season of the American reality TV show American Idol, and “Pretty” is the final track on her 2017 album Road Less Travelled.
“This album is everything about me,” Alaina said in an interview with iHeart. “I didn’t really get to write the first album because I was at American Idol, I came off the show, and I was using that momentum to try to get the album out as fast as possible, to use that momentum. And this album I wrote for four years and had a lot of big changes in that time. My parents went through a divorce, and my dad’s an alcoholic and he went to rehab, I overcame an eating disorder — lots of really big changes. I moved to Nashville, I fell in love, all of these crazy life-changing things happened, and the whole album is about all of that. I feel like I’m really introducing myself to the world officially with this album, so hopefully they like me.”
The song is in F and modulates up a step to G at 3:25 for the final chorus.
