“Let Me Down Slowly” featuring Alessia Cara happened after a fan sent a direct message to Alec Benjamin on Twitter saying that Alessia loved his music. The remix was released on January 7th, 2019 and doesn’t deviate much from the solo version (lyrically and sonically).

If you’re gunna leave… please let me down slowly. I’m a fragile soul and at this time I really felt powerless.
— Alec

The original track was released by Benjamin from his second mixtape Narrated for You in May 2018.
