Alessia Caracciolo, conocida mundialmente como Alessia Cara, nació el 11 de julio de 1996 en Brampton, Ontario, Canadá. Hija de inmigrantes italianos, creció en una familia que valoraba profundamente la música y las artes. Desde temprana edad, Alessia mostró un interés y talento innato para la música. Aprendió a tocar la guitarra de forma autodidacta a los 10 años y comenzó a publicar versiones de canciones populares en YouTube a los 13.
Sus versiones subidas a YouTube llamaron la atención por su tonalidad única y su habilidad para interpretar emociones genuinas. Esta visibilidad en internet la llevó a firmar con EP Entertainment y Def Jam Recordings en 2014. Lo que inicialmente comenzó como un pasatiempo pronto se convertiría en una carrera musical prometedora.
En abril de 2015, Alessia Cara lanzó su sencillo debut, «Here». La canción, inspirada en una experiencia personal en una fiesta donde no se sentía a gusto, fue un éxito inmediato. Su letra sincera y su honestidad brutal resonaron con una audiencia que buscaba autenticidad en la música pop. La canción no solo escaló rápidamente en las listas de popularidad, sino que también fue aclamada por la crítica, obteniendo elogios de medios como Rolling Stone y Spin.
El 13 de noviembre de 2015, Alessia lanzó su primer álbum de estudio «Know-It-All». Con éxitos como «Seventeen», «Scars to Your Beautiful» y, por supuesto, «Here», el álbum consolidó su posición en

[Chorus]
Why the opposition callin' my line, tellin' me to come outside?
I would, but I know they lyin'
(I been through this shit before, you know?)
Foenem told me keep my iron
My mama had a dream about me dyin'
I told her that I hope she lyin' (For real)
It's gon' be a homicide
It's gon' be a homicide
Fuck with Durk and they dyin' today (Facts)
They told me that they sick and tired
They don't wanna die today
[Verse]
Whatever my niggas be wantin', know I got 'em (Yeah, yeah)
I be off them drugs, addicted to narcotics (Narcotics)
2012, niggas wasn't with me in the 'partments
I'ma take a risk, carry my guns inside my joggers (Yeah, yeah)
Why you steady playin', ho? Let me be they father (Father)
Kill his ass in the streets, we hope they don't charge us (They don't charge us)
We can't find your ass, we gon' kill your artist (On God)
And you know it's guaranteed when I say promise (Yeah, yeah)
And I got some shorties that gon' shoot (Shoot)
They gon' do the shit you ain't gon' do (You ain't gon' do)
They gon' slide through your block, they make calls on you (Let's get it)
You hang with them and don't supposed to, it's gon' fall on you
Spit on me bad when I was down, I'ma ball on you
And you ain't thinkin' 'bout getting no money 'til it dawned on you (Yeah, yeah)
And, nigga, I'll drill for 'em (Drill for 'em)
I ain't still signed to French, but I'd kill for him (Let's get it)
Who say I ain't got no money? I'm like a mill' on (A mill' on)
You turned a ho into a housewife, she still goin' (Still goin')
Voice of the trenches, talkin' for the streets (for the streets)
Teachers say I might be dead 'cause I love the streets (Bitch)
And she still told me that my grades above a B
The streets don't love anyone, but they in love with me
Fuck with me and it's a homicide
Try to clean my image with a turkey drive (Turkey drive)
Went in eighteen, he gettin' out when he like thirty-five
2018, I'm goin' up, my shows a hundred racks (Damn)
Lie to you none, but in jail I say a hundred lies
How the fuck you mad and I gave your ass a hundred tries? (Oh)
And from them brothers that I love, I dropped a hundred, why?
Don't feed your gang when they snake you, you gon' wonder why
Tryna tuck my pride away, oh (Tryna tuck my pride)
I ain't really tryna die today (I ain't really tryna die)
Certain shit I can't tolerate (No)
[Chorus]
Why the opposition callin' my line, tellin' me to come outside?
I would, but I know they lyin'
(I been through this shit before, you know?)
Foenem told me keep my iron
My mama had a dream about me dyin'
I told her that I hope she lyin' (For real)
It's gon' be a homicide
It's gon' be a homicide
Fuck with Durk and they dyin' today (Facts)
They told me that they sick and tired
They don't wanna die today
