Alessia Cara Dishes On Why She Chose To Write Her New Album On Her Own

Alessia Cara wears her oversized suit for her performance on Today Show in New York City on Friday morning (September 7).

The 22-year-old singer performed a ton of her hits, including her latest song, “Growing Pains”, from her forthcoming album.

“It’s such a personal story, such a personal album, and it felt like it should’ve come 100 percent from me – so, that way, when you listen to it, you know it’s strictly from me and every word is me,” Alessia recently shared about writing the entire album on her own.

She adds, “Also, because I’ve just always dreamt of being a songwriter, and a good songwriter.”

“I have always wanted to say that I had at least one project that I did on my own. It’s my own little personal goal. And I think honestly now that I’ve done it and know that I can do it…I think I’m always going to do it this way.”
