Alessia Cara broke out with her debut single "Here," which featured her singing about hating the party scene and being anti-social. Now, she's back again with another defiant new song "Wild Things" and its accompanying music video, which features the same sort of free spirit that Cara fans have come to know and love.
Like "Here," "Wild Things" features Cara breaking out of social norms and marching to the beat of her own drummer (and single).
"I lose my balance on these eggshells / You tell me to tread, I'd rather be a wild one instead / Don't wanna hang around the in crowd / The cool kids aren't cool to me / They're not cooler than we are," she sings in the track's second verse.
The visuals carry that energy with them. "To me, where the wild things are is a place that exists in our minds," Cara states at the top of the video. "It's a place of liberty, shamelessness. It can take a split second or a lifetime to find it, but once you do, you'll be free."
She hangs out with a pack of like-minded rule breakers as they dance around a fire in animal masks, draw tattoos on each other's hands and play at the beach, shooting off fireworks. Like the track itself (and Cara), "Wild Things" is 100 percent carefree.
"Wild Things" is the latest single to be released from Alessia Cara's debut album Know-It-All, which was released in November 2015. The album was previously led by the top 10 single "Here."
