Here by Alessia Cara
“The first thing that caught my attention was the Portishead sample (which, like a lot of things, actually comes from Isaac Hayes), but the more time I spend with the song's lyrics and performance, the more special I think it is. It's from the perspective of someone unhappy at a party, and not because the party's bad; just because they're not feeling particularly party-ready at the moment. I can't think of a lot of songs about that, but I especially like her ideal alternative: listening to more thoughtful music with a smaller group of friends, and discussing the future. Works for me.”

This is the anthem for introverts stuck at parties. Listen to those lyrics friends.

"Excuse me, if I seem unimpressed by this, an anti-social pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this."
I'm digging this song.
