Discover the story of the song > The Ugly Truth – Nick Jonas

The song is about a man (the protagonist) telling someone (presumably his partner) that they need to look a certain way to fit in and be loved. He says that he is flawless and perfect, and that his partner needs to measure up to his looks to have eternal happiness. He then proceeds to list all the physical flaws that his partner has and calls them ugly, while also stating that he's being honest with them, whether they like it or not.
