Discover the story of the song > Not My Type at All – Jacob whitesides

The song is about the protagonist's attraction to a woman who is not his usual type. She has messy hair, smokes and curses, wears a t-shirt to a fancy dinner and laughs too loudly. Despite the protagonist feeling drawn to her and having parts of himself emotionally connected to her, he ultimately concludes she is not his type because of her plastic ring from her boyfriend, a chip on her shoulder from her mom, and a feeling that it's both right and wrong. Despite the attraction and temptations, he can't see a future with her, acknowledging that while he loses himself when she says his name, she's still not his type at all.
