Alessia Cara drops new single 'Not Today' from forthcoming album 'The Pains of Growing'

The latest offering from the Grammy-winning singer's sophomore LP debuted as Zane Lowe's World Record on Apple Music's Beats 1 Radio
UPDATED NOV 16, 2018

Alessia Cara is all set to release her sophomore LP 'The Pains Of Growing' on November 30 via Def Jam. On the run-up to the release, we've already heard three smashing singles in the form of 'Growing Pains', 'Trust My Lonely' and 'A Little More'. Now, the Grammy Award-winning singer has revealed yet another stunner from the album, titled 'Not Today'.

Cara premiered the new song on Zane Lowe's 'Beats 1' show on Apple Music Tuesday and laid out the background to the new track. "'Not Today' was one of the last songs I actually wrote for the record. Something happened to me that made me write a lot of new songs," she told Lowe. "I went through the end of a relationship, and just really, really bad terms. So, the song to me was like that grieving period in the middle of healing, I guess, or the moment or the period of time before you actually get to the healing stage."
