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]
Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there, and I thought
"Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?"
Ayy
[Verse 2]
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So, hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
[Chorus]
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames?
You can tell me when it's over, mmm
If the high was worth thе pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tеll you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
[Verse 3]
Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the king, baby, I'm your queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come
Oh, no
[Verse 4]
Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing, like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
[Chorus]
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames?
You can tell me when it's over, mmm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game
'Cause we're young and we're reckless (Oh)
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless (Oh-oh), mmm
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane (Insane)
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
[Bridge]
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
[Chorus]
So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames?
You can tell me when it's over (Over), mmm
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane (I'm insane)
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game (And you love the game)
'Cause we're young and we're reckless (Yeah)
We'll take this way too far (Ooh)
It'll leave you breathless, mmm
Or with a nasty scar (With a nasty scar)
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
