Hailee Steinfeld Wants to Be Every Woman in the Video for 'Most Girls'

I had no idea. Based on its lyrics alone, the song reads as the most generalized female empowerment anthem you’ve ever heard—the message seems to be that everything you do is fine, as long as you are a woman. The video contextualizes that the phrase “most girls” is being sung as taunt to some lunkhead who blew his chance with Hailee Steinfeld, which gives it slightly more meaning. If you think it needed more meaning.

We also get to see the wide variety of girls in the world: girls who box, girls who drive around in a limo, girls who spray paint, even girls who read. All of these girls are extremely thin and femme, even those not played by Steinfeld herself, so in reality most girls do not appear in this video. The story closes out on her former suitor, locked in some sort of closed circuit TV room, doomed to see the wide array of conventionally attractive women he’ll never get to touch for all eternity. Most girls have a vindictive streak!
