“Poster Boy” is a confessional song about Scott’s experience overseeing music at his church where he was often revered to a point of unease. 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
