A lofty position he’s never been comfortable or happy being in. “People tend to put you on a pedestal when you hold that kind of position,” Scott explains. “I was constantly treated like I could do no wrong, and that’s a dangerous place to be. I felt like I had to play a role and hide my flaws, and so it was hard to be myself. ‘Poster Boy’ calls out that unhealthy expectation of perfection, whether self-imposed or brought on by others. It’s meant to give the listener permission to be human, since mistakes are inevitable for us all.” "Poster Boy" follows the overwhelming response to Vân Scott's debut singles/videos, "Tough Love" and "Die Young," released in the fall of 2019. His Kickstarter-funded debut album is due out in 2021! "Poster Boy" lyrics: I am not a mascot for anyone Never asked to be one Missing out on all the fun People got me pegged and pigeonholed Trying to make me fit the mold Doing everything I'm told I'm not good at doing everything I'm told I'm not a poster boy Whether you like it or not You can't pin me on the wall Not a poster boy There's no denying my feet will leave this pedestal Oh, I stand for something I can't stand for nothing Never chose to have a halo on my head I'd rather wear my hat instead Keep my face from turning red But now you know, if you didn't already guess Didn't mean to false impress My life is still a total mess They want a pretty face For everyone to see, oh That's exactly how they'll make a monster out of me I'm not a poster boy Whether you like it or not You can't pin me on the wall Not a poster boy There's no denying my feet will leave this pedestal Oh, I stand for something I can't stand for nothing I'm just not a poster boy They want a pretty face For everyone to see, oh That's exactly how they'll make a monster out of me I'm not a poster boy Whether you like it or not You can't pin me on the wall Not a poster boy There's no denying my feet will leave this pedestal Oh, I stand for something I can't stand for nothing Oh, I stand for something I can't stand for nothing Music and Lyrics by Scott Oatley Produced by Jesse Carmichael, Andy Davis, and Scott Oatley Cover Art and Photo by Adam Griffin Genre Indie Pop Comment by Ayden Misner :) Bro I'm addicted to this song 🤯 2023-06-08T15:14:44Z Comment by st i love your voice 2023-03-28T18:19:17Z Comment by Amineknights I am so inlove with this song.
