"Ugly Duckling" is a song by Amy Marshall from her sixth studio album, Amy, released in 2014.
The song, a pop/rock midtempo, is about a young girl who tries to fit in with the older, prettier girls, but no matter how she tries she always feels like "the ugly duckling."
Amy told BBC in a February 2014 interview that the song was her favorite off of Amy and that it's very personal to her, saying, “My father was friends with someone who had a daughter who was six years older than me (I was 9 when we first met and she was 15). The two of them would always come over to my house and the daughter would also bring her friends, and I thought they all looked so pretty and they made me feel like the ‘ugly duckling’ for several years, even when I got older. It all worked out in the end though, she got knocked up by a guy who doesn’t wanna marry her, and I’m hot now!"
The song was supposed to be the second single from Amy but was canceled.
