Discover the story of the song > True Colours – Tom Odell

The song is about a person who has been feeling down and discouraged. The protagonist acknowledges that it's difficult to be brave when there are so many challenges in the world, and that sometimes we can feel very small when we are struggling with internal darkness. But despite all of this, the protagonist can see the true beauty (the true colours) in his partner, and encourages her to not be afraid to show those true colours to the world. In the end, the message is that everyone has something beautiful and unique to offer, even when we feel our lowest.
