Alessia Cara Just Dropped 'Growing Pains' Music Video

Alessia Cara has just released the music video for her brand new song “Growing Pains“

The track is the first single from the 21-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer’s forthcoming sophomore album, which is tentatively scheduled for release later this year.

Alessia told Harper’s Bazaar. “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,” Alessiaadded. “That was my way of saying this isn’t forever.”
