Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara appeared on Austin City Limits, where she performed “Growing Pains”.
The song is taken from her upcoming sophomore album "The Pains of Growing" as the lead single.
It was written by Alessia Cara, Oak and Andrew "Pop" Wansel.
She said of the song in an interview with Harper’s BAZARR, “I wrote it during a time where I felt sort of lost in everything I was doing, lost in my job and in my responsibility. It was really confusing. Not only am I a 21-year-old woman, which is hard enough, but I’m also part of a circumstance and a lifestyle that is very unusual and very different, and that can be kind of scary. I think those two things put together created this emotional distance in my head where I knew I was supposed to be happy because I was fulfilling my dreams, but I just wasn’t quite happy with myself. I wanted to write a song about it, but give it some slight silver lining by calling it “Growing Pains,” because I think all pain is something we can grow out of, or grow through, at some point. That was my way of saying this isn’t forever.”
The new album "The Pains of Growing" comprises of 15-track and is due out November 30th.- I2xUgQc7hoE
