Congratulations to Alessia Cara for being the first artist that I'm covering twice. A huge honor, I know.

I don't like this song as much as I liked Here. The lyrics are cute and conversational but not quite as #relatable...perhaps because this one actually involves interacting with other humans (though she admits I'm not used to this).

I like that you can still feel Alessia's introverted and vaguely teenage-rebellion-esque spirit:

Oh, how rude of you to ruin my miserable.

Nobody asked you to get me attached to you;
In fact you tricked me. 

I'm mad at you for being so cute.

What's wrong with you?
You make me sick for being so perfect.

Same.

I also feel like this one is a lot closer to pure pop than the R&B-Pop of Here. Not that I have anything against pop music - listen, I drove to Baltimore for One Direction - but that's not what made me fall in love with this artist.

Also, is anyone else getting Baby-era Justin Bieber from this song? The beat, the melody, the voice. Don't take that the wrong way - I love this girl's voice, so smooth and lovely. Honestly, don't take this whole comparison the wrong way. Baby slayed and still slays.

I dunno.

Overview:

Genre:
Pop / R&B

Favorite Lyrics:
So all that I'm askin'
is that you handle me with caution,
'cause I don't give myself often.

Verdict:
So sweet.
