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]
She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away
Cause covergirls don't cry after their face is made
[Chorus]
But there's a hopе that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just thе way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
[Verse 2]
She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, covergirls eat nothing
She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I can go a little while longer," she fades away
She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface, oh, oh
So to all the girls that's hurting, let me be your mirror
Help you see a little bit clearer the light that shines within
[Chorus]
There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
[Bridge]
No better you than the you that you are
No better you than the you that you are
No better life than the life we're living
No better life than the life we're living
No better time for your shine, you're a star
No better time for your shine, you're a star
Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautiful
[Chorus]
And there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
