“Trust My Lonely” is the second single from Alessia Cara’s sophomore album, The Pains of Growing.

The song was first teased by Alessia on Twitter with a video satirizing the use of the adjective “lonely” instead of the noun “loneliness” – just as in “Scars To Your Beautiful”.

Reflecting on her relationship, Cara realizes she’s being used by her partner and, after all, she’s better off alone.

Alessia Cara left a message for her fans in a tweet promoting the song.

The sentiment of the song is a celebration of life without negativity.

In an interview on The Zach Sang show on Youtube, on 12th October, 2018, Alessia talks about how she depersonalized her negative emotions and wrote a song directed towards that personified image. She thought it would help people relate to the song and expand its context.
