I am by no means suggesting she become another typical pop star with a bunch of make-up and dresses and heels, but she has got to let this '10-year old playing in my big brother's closet while he's off at college' thing go. The aesthetic she's going for would be ten times more effective if she'd get her suits properly fitted...but tbh she would have been best off sticking to the look she had in the Here video or on the Know-It-All cover.
All that aside, I do like her and hope this song works out for her. I'm already expecting that it will be another long climb like Here and STYB were if it is to become a hit at all. Growing Pains showed that she's apparently made no impression on the general public despite having multiple hits and a distinctive voice.

Iβm perched and thatβs that on that. She deserves to become huge. Hoping this is better than Growing Pains and is closer to βHereβ or βOverdoseβ.

The "Growing Pains" aesthetic clearly didnβt work for her, why is she trying with that oversized suit again? Regardless, Iβm pumped!
Also, whatβs with her and treating adjectives as if they are nouns? First we had "Scars To Your Beautiful" and now itβs "Trust My Lonelyβ lol.

When will her song titles start being 100% grammatically correct?

When will her song titles start being 100% grammatically correct? If her brief discography is any indication, Alessia flops with grammatically correct phrases (Wild Things, How Far I'll Go, Growing Pains) so maybe she should stop being grammatically correct lol. She does best with one-word titles and the adjective-as-noun phrase (Here, Scars To Your Beautiful, Stay). Also, as a lead artist she has an as-yet unbroken hit/flop pattern. GP flopped, so I guess it's time now for another grammatically incorrect hit.

I guarantee you the full line is "trust my lonely heart" or something and the title is shortened to catch your eye. Much like "Love Lies," which in intentionally shortened to cause you to think it's a breakup song.

Sounds great, hopefully Cynthiaβs theory rings true and this can be a hit.

That clip has potential. For the most part I feel like her material is subpar but she clearly has a good voice. I am waiting for a song of hers that will actually do something for me.

This girl has GOT to stop using adjectives as nouns. You can tell she was obsessed with "Beneath Your Beautiful" when she was like thirteen.

This is really breezy and chill. I could see this doing much more than her previous single managed to (not) do.

I love this so much. Much better than Growing Pains.

Thankfully I love this. I was nervous after GP. Hopefully GP being a dud first single won't completely damage her prospects this era.

It's not bad. The production is cute, but the lyrics are a bit of a step down from Growing Pains. Not sure if it will hit, but I can see it doing decently on Hot AC at least.
Also surprised the title wasn't a shortened phrase. At least it makes more sense than Scars to Your Beautiful.

Doesn't sound like a song that will reverse the public's apparent indifference.

No, her top 10 days are over. But talking positively - she did better than her potential at first place anyway. But pretending to stay at the same age mentally and musically wont work even for Mariah Carey anymore.

The video kind of gets on my nerves, but I really like the song. I think it's catchier/melodically more digestible than GP, so hopefully it sticks.

Is this getting a radio deal? Would be really something if Republic made another one for her after GP flopped

The beat is really similar to Cardiβs "Be Careful" now that I think about it.

This is far better than Growing Pains. Although unlikely, I'm rooting for her to have another hit. She deserves it.
