Remain (Alessia Cara Album)

Remain is the upcoming third studio album by Candian singer and songwriter Alessia Cara, set to be released in 2021. The first single, "Wind" (a collaboration with indie artist, Bridgit Mendler) was released on May 4, 2020 with the music video releasing two laters. Three more songs, "Midnight Snack", "Wishing Wells" and "Troublemaker" were released on August 26, 2020 with the release of her EP, lnternal Damage . An additional two songs were released on the exclusive Japanese re-release of the EP on August 30, 2020, called "Buried Heart" and "Stabbed In The Back".

Background
The album is rumored to be centered around Cara's childhood and her yearning to be innocent and free once more while also showing her thankfulness for the life she currently lives.

Singles
Cara & Mendler initially teased the release of the first single, "Wind" by sneaking verses from the songs into various tweets or Instagram posts. A fan noticed this and connected it to a song that Cara sung during the tour she did for her second album, The Pains of Growing. At the time, Cara had just written the song and the verses by Bridgit Mendler weren't present. Cara & Mendler officially announced the song on April 1, 2020. It was initially thought to be an April Fools joke but this was later disproved.

The following three songs were released through Cara's EP, Internal Damage which first released in Japan on August 12, 2020 and was released worldwide two weeks later. An additional two songs were released four days later when the EP recieved an extended version that was only released in Japan. The extended EP also included three "Wind" remixes, official acoustic performances of both "Wind" and "Trouble Maker". It also included the song Cara did with JoJo, "I Can Only.", which was released in 2016.

Internal Damage Tour
During the summer of 2020, Alessia Cara went on a tour around USA & Canada to promote the release of her soon-to-be-released EP and the album, singing songs that weren't yet available to the public. The first leg ran from June 5 to September 4, 2020. The second leg was set to start in January 2021 but was cancelled.

Setlist
At the time, "Wishing Wells", "Troublemaker", "Buried Heart", "Locket" and "Younger" weren't yet released. The first two were released on the EP while "Buried Heart" was released on the extended version. The latter two will be released on the album.
