[Verse]
I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listenin', or I'm indifferent
Truly I ain't got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Not in this room
With people who don't even care about my well-being
I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
So you can, go back, please enjoy your party
I'll be here
Somewhere in the corner
Under clouds of marijuana
With this boy who's hollering
I can hardly hear
Over this music I don't listen to
And I don't wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I'll be over here

[Chorus]
Tell my friends that I'll be over here
I ask myself, what am I doin' here?

[Break]
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here, oh-oh-oh here
Oh-oh-oh here

[Chorus]
Tell my friends that I'll be over here
I ask myself, what am I doin' here?

Alessia Caracciolo is a singer-songwriter from Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Upon the release of her first single, “Here”, she shortened her last name because it was “so long and spelled crazy.”

Cara started posting covers on her YouTube channel at the age of 13. She first started to gain popularity when she posted a cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Mirrors.” Soon after, her cover of The Neighbourhood’s “Sweater Weather” took off. These covers got her signed to EP Entertainment and later, Def Jam.

Her first single, “Here” premiered on The FADER on April 27th, 2015, and blew up soon after. Just four months later, the song racked up 18 million Spotify streams in addition to 4.5 million views on its official video.
