Follow the Lyrics of Brown skin girl Blue Ivy Carter is the hardest working kid in show business—and she’s had a very busy month. First, she appeared with her mom on The Lion King red carpet. Next was a stunning appearance in Beyoncé’s music video for “Spirit,” and then the seven-year-oldwrote and contributed vocals to the song “Brown Skin Girl,” for her mom’s soundtrack album The Lion King: The Gift.
The song opens and closes with Guyanese musician SAINt JHN and little Blue Ivy Carter singing “Brown skin girl / Your skin just like pearls / The best thing in the world / Never trade you for anybody else.” The lyrics encourage young girls to love their skin—particularly in a culture that often upholds lighter skin as the standard of beauty. Sung over an African-infused beat, it’s the standout track on the curated soundtrack album, and also the kind of song this young Black girl needed to hear when she was Blue Ivy’s age.
