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

I guess right now you've got the last laugh
I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listenin', or I'm indifferent
Truly I ain't got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Not in this room
With people who don't even care about my well-being
I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
So you can, go back, please enjoy your party
I'll be here
Somewhere in the corner
Under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who's hollering
I can hardly hear
Over this music I don't listen to
And I don't wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I'll be over here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Tell me they love it, they want me, they need me
Surrounded inside of this room by the gritty
It seems like these women is needy
But all they've been wantin' and needin' is money
She callin' me honey, I know that she lyin'
And all she want from me is everything high end
The ladder, the ladder, she love it, she climbin' above it
The higher she gets, she gets no vision from it
The second she plummets she's gon' be right here
The second she plummets she's gon' be right here
At the bottom with killers and dealers
Now they say that diamonds' forever but never explain
That the diamonds fillin' up your safe cannot fill up the pain
I hope you'll understand that I'll be here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator
Some girl talkin' 'bout her haters, she ain't got none
How did it ever come to this? I shoulda never come to this
So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'
And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low
Yo I'll be over here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh I ask myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
