Ka Lia Universe - Pretty Hearted Girl

Pretty hearted girl
With the short hair curls
Where in the world did you come from

I'm a little introverted
At times I don't know the words to say
But still like to have fun

Tell me all your stories
My life is so boring
Tired of pretending like I don't wanna fit in
Girl are you foreign
All these eyes adoring you
When you walk through the doors
Oh they all fall to the floor yeah
My phone is a little dry
Can't say that I haven't tried
And if you like me
Just how I like you
Pretty hеarted girl
Let's be bеst friends

Wanna be just like you
Hanging in the bathroom
Lipstick and high heels
Wanna know how that feels

Wanna be just like them
Lost count on how many friends
Pretty clothes and setting trends
Wanna know how that feels

Been so long since I've had a kiss
It's been a while
Do you flirt like this
Run my hands through my dirty hair
Oh honey pie, do they like it when I talk like this
How do I move like that
Don't know any TikTok dance
But give me a chance
Pretty hearted girl
Teach me how to romance
I'm not really popular
I just wanna be like her
Taking all the selfies
Oh girl can you help me

Honestly
I just wanna be your friend
Oh miss pretty hearted girl

Pretty hearted girl
With the short hair curls
Where in the world did you come from

I'm a little introverted
At times I don't know the words to say
But still like to have fun

Wanna be just like you
Hanging in the bathroom
Lipstick and high heels
Wanna know how that feels

Wanna be just like them
Lost count on how many friends
Pretty clothes and setting trends
Wanna know how that feels
Wanna be just like you
Hanging in the bathroom
Lipstick and high heels
Wanna know how that feels

Wanna be just like them
Lost count on how many friends
Pretty clothes and setting trends
Wanna know how that feels

There’s an old saying that goes, “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you’ll land among stars.” But why settle for stars when you can have your own Universe? That’s the question St. Paul singer, rapper & songwriter Ka Lia Universe must have asked herself before she started tearing up speakers & stages across the US.

Born the daughter of Laotian Hmong immigrants, Ka Lia would first discover her love for music participating in the school choir & jamming Britney Spears & Alicia Keys records in her free time. But after receiving a positive reaction to a video she posted online, she realized music could be more than just a fun hobby. Soon she was sneaking into her brother’s room while he was away to teach herself how to play the guitar & piano he kept there. At only 14 she was composing original songs & playing talent shows & events around the metro. After releasing two albums of completely original material under her birth name, she decided to step away from music for a bit.

But when music’s in your soul, you can’t stay away for long. Back with a new name, stronger vision & newfound reverence for her heritage, it wasn’t long til people took notice. The singer would release a genre-bending self-produced, written & engineered album “So Good” that mixed pop, hip hop, r&b and language barriers alike! Her special brand of Hmonglish has led to over 4 million streams/views & mainstream radio play. She encourages listeners to step outside their box & into a new, well… Universe.~JL
