Is 안 short for 아니?
I have listened to a few songs use 안, but I have never really wondered if it was short for 아니.
The most recent example I can think of is in Glam's song "In front of the mirror" they say- 난 안 예뻐

Hi Zora!
안 is a negative.
'안' of 안녕하세요 is different from 안 of '안' 이뻐.
In the words 안 이뻐, 안 is a negative.
In economical reasons, you use “안” other than “아니”
You read the sentence “아니 춥다.”
I ask you to read it quickly. more quickly more quickly.
“아니 춥다” is changed into “안 춥다”
As you say, “안” is a short form of “아니”
안 춥다. (춥지 않다.)
비가 안 온다.(비가 오지 않는다.)
안 이쁘다.(이쁘지 않다.)
Here, the word '안' modifies the verb, “춥다 and 온다 etc.”
I hope that helps. Feel free to contact me if you don’t understand it.

It does have something to do with it, yes. ~안 can be a negation in any way shape or form.
난 안 예뻐. - I'm not pretty.
난 = I
안 = negation
예뻐 ~ 예쁘다 = pretty
