Alessia Cara had a good run :/

I don't think the problem is the music itself. Alessia's team put in so much focus that first era trying to build hits that they neglected to build up Alessia herself as a personality. If this were 1998 or even 2008 they could get away with that, but the market (especially for female artists) now puts more emphasis on singers being "relatable" than on them just being good artists. It doesn't help that the branding they have committed to for this second album feels like a regression. Alessia is 22 years old now; why are they giving her such a childlike essence? The young-adult audience that related so much to Here probably lost sight of her soon after and can't relate to the oversized pantsuits. If they stick with this image, not even another "Here" type of song will save her. Another producer collaboration like Stay could probably get her a hit at least, but would only be a short-term fix.
Trust My Lonely needs performances too - of course streaming and sales are low when almost no one knows your song exists - but I'm assuming they don't have anything booked until the week before or of her album release.

This girl just has no personality to save her from her cringey music. "Here" was an awesome start, but everything after that has been cheesy as hell. Her music caters to that "I'm 14 and everything I read on Tumblr is so deep" crowd. Her performance on pop radio has always been questionable, the format seems to REALLY support her despite the streams/sales not adding up even remotely close.

Eh, I'm not sure what support you're talking about here. "Scars to Your Beautiful," "Stay," and "Here" are really her only airplay hits, and they all had the sales and streaming to back them up. The rest of her singles have had average to middling airplay stats and generally the sales and streaming behind them have been the same. They did give "Growing Pains" a surprisingly good chance, but that's really the only abnormal one of the bunch.

This sounds like an Ella Mai song with a poppier production. It’s not a bad song by any means, but it’s so not single material and I can’t believe they thought this would re-establish momentum.

Just came in here to say this really resembles a Meghan Trainor song but someone beat me on the second page I see.. I don’t like this direction from her.

I really like this, but I literally forgot she had even sent it to radio.

Well this seems to be making a comeback... I like this better than her first single released from this project but I'm still not sold on it.

This is so bland. I don't imagine this making it much further considering there is zero reaction to this outside of radio.
