Alessia Cara Performs Ariana Grande’s “Breathin’” on BBC Radio 1 Piano Sessions
Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara appeared on BBC Radio 1, where she covered Ariana Grande’s “Breathin’” and performed her latest song “Trust My Lonely”.
The session consisted of Alessia Cara, 3 back up singers and one pianist.
“Breathin’” was released by Ariana Grande from her fourth studio album "Sweetener" back in September. It was written by Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, Peter Svensson, Savan Kotecha and Ariana Grande.
Ariana Grande told Jimmy Fallon about the song, “‘breathin’ is about breathing… like, when you’re anxious. It’s about anxiety and feeling like you can’t… you know, when you can’t get a full breath? It’s like the worst feeling in the whole world. It’s a song about that feeling. I was having lots of [anxiety attacks around the time I recorded this song]. We were in the studio, we were writing and I was like, “Ugh, I can’t breathe.” And they were like, “We’re going to write this song.” And I was like, “Okay, I still can’t breathe, but we’ll write it.”- 0oOtgrMNZYA

“Trust My Lonely” is the second single from her sophomore album "The Pains of Growing". It was written by Andrew "Pop" Wansel, Oak and Alessia Cara. The music video featured her dancing in a variety of settings, including on a beach and in a field, as well as in front of a number of colored backgrounds.
She said of the song, “When I initially wrote that song, I wrote it because of my insecurities. I think a lot of people, we become comfortable in our misery or comfortable in a relationship that may be bad for us. This song was just a reminder for me and for everyone to just trust yourself and let go of things don’t serve you in a positive way, especially your heart and your soul.”- source : BBC Radio 1
