Claire Rosinkranz Is Tired of Wasting Her Time in “i’m too pretty for this”

Is there anything more cathartic than a biting pop-punk-inspired song? From Avril Lavigne to Olivia Rodrigo, the tried-and-true tradition of looking back at a failed relationship through the lens of driving guitars and cutthroat lyrics has become a staple of coming-of-age. It’s a sentiment carried through by Claire Rosinkranz’s latest earworm of a single, “i’m too pretty for this.”

The lovesick fantasy of “Backyard Boy” may have delivered Rosinkranz her breakout viral moment, but “i’m too pretty for this” sees her trading in butterflies for daggers as she moves on in enthralling fashion. Immediately spurred forth by dynamic guitars and a steadfast beat, Rosinkranz sings, “Why do your promises never stick / And why are your words always of shit / And why don’t you try just a little bit.” The lyrics flow forth like well-deserved poetry, the perfectly drafted break-up text message to someone who simply isn’t worth the time or effort. 

“i’m too pretty for this” is an anthem for anyone who has simply grown tired of hearing the phrase “I’m sorry” or suffered through “this is the last time” far too many times, especially from someone who is… well… kinda mid. To put it in Rosinkranz’s own words, “Sometimes you need to say ‘I’m too pretty for this’ and just move on…”

 “i’m too pretty for this” arrives in the midst of a whirlwind season for the budding pop star, who is currently experiencing another viral moment as “Frankenstein” takes off again on TikTok. In addition, Rosinkranz is hitting the road with festival appearances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, Life Is Beautiful and as direct support for Alec Benjamin’s ‘The (UN)Commentary Tour.’
