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

[Verse 1]
If there's a God
Do you think he's looking down, curled up on his couch right now?
As we fail to figure it out, does he turn down the sound?
Is he proud? Are we proud?
Guess we forgot how to live a life with no filter
Making boring people famous
Let's pretend they're fascinating
Let's tell little girls that pretty girls are better
Or that pigment or religion really matters
[Pre-Chorus]
We're in some trouble
Mr. Maker, don't turn away from your screen
At least the bubble that we've created could make for some good TV
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
Would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of poor taste
The spectacle of cut and paste that we've made
Would you say, please say it was worth the seven days
[Verse 2]
Does he hang his head at all the greed that we possess?
As the anti-social media perpetuates the mess
Maybe it's a test, maybe he's upset by the loose ends
Stressed like the rest of us, it happens to the best of us
God, or is it Mr. G to me?
I hope that through the static, you’ll show us the clarity
'Cause it's hard to find the silver lining in the bittersweet
Wonder if you're praying for us 'fore you go to sleep
Do you sleep in peace?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we're in some trouble
Mr. Maker, but don't turn away from your screen
At least the bubble that we've created has made for damn good TV
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
Would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of poor taste
The spectacle of cut and paste that we've made
Would you say, please say it was worth the seven days
[Bridge]
Don't touch the remote, we'll be back in a moment
We are not hopeless, we are just coping
The mayhem is rolling, but it ain't showbiz
Reality's potent, chaotic, I know it
But we're growing, have some hope in us
And were we worth all the time you gave up?
[Chorus]
Oh, Mr. Man Upstairs
I know you're tuning in up there, way up there
Would you care to answer my question?
Oh, the land of poor taste
The spectacle of cut and paste that we've made
Would you say, please say it was worth the seven days
Yeah, oh, oh13
