Background and development

"Ugly" was written and produced by Dallas Austin for the Sugababes' fourth studio album, Taller in More Ways . [1] Paul Sheehy, Doug Harms, Graham Marsh and Ian Rossiter served as the assistant recording engineers for the song. [1] "Ugly" was mixed by Jeremy Wheatley for 365 Artists at TwentyOne Studio, London. [1] Tony Reyes provided the accompanying guitar and bass guitar for the track, while the drums and keys were provided by Austin. [1] "Ugly" was recorded at DARP Studios, at Atlanta & Home Recordings, London. [1]

During an interview with Jess Cartner-Morley of The Guardian , the Sugababes revealed that Austin wrote the song after reading "the cuttings file he was sent about the band". [2] Keisha Buchanan, one of the group's members, elaborated upon this: "All the rubbish and nasty stuff that's been written about us, calling us the Sugalumps, that sort of thing." [2] The title of the song's parent album, Taller in More Ways, was inspired by a line in "Ugly", which reads: "I grew taller than them in more ways / But there'll always be one who will say / Something bad to make them feel great". [2]

[3] [9] Group member Heidi Range compared the song's lyrics to "Beautiful", a song performed by American recording artist Christina Aguilera.

"Ugly" garnered generally positive reviews from music critics. Phil Udell of Hot Press regarded it as a "classy, catchy pop tune with a human heart". [3] Peter Robinson of The Observer felt that the track was one of the album's standouts, stating that it "immediately hits on the Sugababes' core values", which according to him are "cool, but so unswervingly radio-friendly that it would hardly be out of place as this year's Children in Need single". [9] Talia Kraines of BBC described "Ugly" as a "ballad full of true Sugababes attitude". [15] K. Ross Hoffman of AllMusic considered the track as an "aptly pitched inspirational mini-epic", [8] and a writer for The Liverpool Daily Post & Echo characterised it as an "empowering anthem". [16] Nick Southall of Stylus Magazine called it "vastly superior self-help pop" and "lovingly produced". [7] However, Ben Hogwood of musicOMH thought the song was unconvincing, [17] while Alex Roginski of Sydney Morning Herald criticized the songwriting as "flat". [18]

Chart performance

"Ugly" entered the UK Singles Chart at number three on 11 December 2005 ― for the week ending dated 17 December 2005 ― with sales of 21,107, [19] becoming the Sugababes' second consecutive top-three single and their tenth top ten hit overall.

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Ugly" was directed by Toby Tremlett and filmed on 1 November 2005. [39] It is set in a warehouse in New York City that is used for people who are taking part in an audition. [40] It begins with a yellow taxi driving on a New York City road with apartment complexes. [40] As the song begins, Buena sings her verse while looking into a mirror, and other people in the warehouse begin to hold up signs of the song's lyrics. [40] During the chorus, they begin to showcase their talents such as dancing and juggling. [40] Buchanan's chorus features her sitting on a staircase; during this part, a child holds up a sign reading "short" while a woman carries a sign saying "loneliness". [40] As Range sings the bridge, she is leaning on a wall in the warehouse while more people begin dancing. [40] When Sugababes sing the chorus again, they dance with the people who also begin to show other talents, including instrumentation and magic tricks. [40] As the video ends, a row of people hold up signs containing one word from the song's lyrics, "people are all the same", and then another message "don't be afraid to be you", with Buchanan, Buena and Range holding each letter of the last word. [40]

Sugababes performed "Ugly" at the V Festival in 2006 as part of a set list, which included "Hole in the Head", "Red Dress" and "Push the Button". In 2008, they performed the song at the same event in the JJB Champion Arena, as part of a set list which included Push the Button and About You Now. [41] The performance received positive reviews, with a reviewer from MTV UK calling it "a highlight of our festival in the JJB Arena". [41] In August 2007, former group member Mutya Buena, who left the band shortly following the single's release, performed the song at the V Festival in Chelmsford. [42] On 18 September 2007, Sugababes performed an acoustic version of "Ugly" at the Indig02 as part of a set list, which included such songs as "Freak Like Me", "Round Round", "In the Middle", "Red Dress" and "Too Lost In You". Nick Levine of Digital Spy felt the performance "proves that no member's a slacker in the trilling department". [43]

In March 2006, it was announced by The Commission for Racial Equality Croeso initiative that the Sugababes would take part in supporting diversity and opposing injustice in Wales. [44] The group allowed all schools located in Wales to use "Ugly" as part of an assembly, in which the schools can use the same resources provided by the Croeso initiative. [44]
