Here


The song "Here" by Alessia Cara is originally in the key of D minor. It was released in 2015 as the debut single from her first studio album, "Know-It-All". The song describes the feeling of being at a party and feeling out of place, wanting to leave and be alone. Alessia Cara, a Canadian singer-songwriter, wrote the song along with songwriter Sebastian Kole. An interesting fact about the song is that it samples the song "Ike's Rap II" by Isaac Hayes. The melody of "Here" has a slow and melancholic feel, with Alessia Cara's soulful vocals perfectly conveying the song's introspective and relatable lyrics.
