"Big Girls Are Best," a lesser-known U2 track from the All That You Can’t Leave Behind era, stands out as a playful and celebratory song, with lyrics that embrace the strength and confidence of women.
Rather than focusing on conventional ideals of beauty, Bono uses the song to praise women who are self-assured, experienced, and in control of their lives.
The phrase "big girls" is a metaphor for maturity and empowerment, suggesting that women who embrace their individuality and independence are "best" because they are unapologetically themselves. Beneath the playful tone, the song carries a message about appreciating real, confident women who challenge societal norms and embody a natural, unfiltered power.
It's a lighthearted yet affirming nod to womanhood that celebrates character over appearance.
"Big Girls Are Best" Lyrics U2
As long as the night is coloured blue and black
Oh yeah yeah yeah
As long as you're on your knees and she's not on her back
Oh yeah yeah yeah
Avenue Atlantico 1702
She's cocoa butter, baby, she's the glue
She's got a baby at her breast
She knows big girls are best
Mama mama mama
I'm gonna change like the weather, hot to cold
Oh yeah yeah yeah
She keeps it all together, she's got the motherload
Oh yeah yeah yeah
She feels it, every sensation
She's got a smile like salvation
She's got a baby at her breast
She knows big girls are best
Mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
She's elliptical, also political
Also spiritual, not superficial
Yeah, she's tropical, yes, she's illogical
Those little girls are a pest
Big girls are the best
As long as the night is coloured blue and black
Oh yeah yeah yeah
As long as you're on your knees and she's not on her back
Oh yeah yeah yeah
She can taste every sensation
She's got a smile like salvation
She's got a baby, a baby at her breast
She walks like she talks
Big girls are best
Big girls
Mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
Sexy mama mama mama
My mama
