==Background and composition==
"Beautiful" was written and composed by the members of MercyMe, Dan Muckala, and Brown Bannister.〔According to the inner liner notes of the album.〕 "Beautiful" was written for the daughters of MercyMe's band members.〔 Lead singer Bart Millard, in an interview with Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday, stated that "We () wrote the song with our daughters in mind. The band has 15 kids among all of us... Satan targets our girls from a materialistic way, telling them how to act and how to look, what to eat and not to eat",〔 also commenting that "I try to tell my kids all the time that they are perfect and I know my daughters need to get their confidence in themselves from me. The way they want to be treated by men needs to come from me".〔
"Beautiful" is a ballad with a length of four minutes and twenty-one seconds. It is set in the key of G major and has a moderate tempo of 69 beats per minute, with a vocal range spanning from D4-B5.〔 Lyrically, the song is about self-worth and the love of God, specifically aimed at young women and daughters.〔 However, the song also has a broader theme; Millard noted in an interview that that "All of us have felt unlovable at some point. At times, I feel worthless. I have an argument with a friend, all that I’ve come to like about myself is suddenly falling apart. Who can love me if I don’t even like myself? It’s hard to drag ourselves out of this way of thinking. We are taught to live according to these expectations. We think we need approval and accomplishment to validate our lives. But what does God tell us? He says, “You’re beautiful. You are made for so much more than all of this.” He loves us, even in our failings".〔
