The closing track of the album “Apartment Song” is an ode to being alone. It was written in Alessia Cara’s apartment she got and moved into, hence the title. The track was first teased in a snippet across her social media on September 23, 2021.
In her mostly chronological album, the song represents...
[Verse 1]
Light in my head
Turned on in the morning, what a wonderful world it is
When you can see it (Oh, oh)
Tears that I shed, turned into glitter
On the floor of my apartment
Pop of shimmer I needed (Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm a bummer, got no lover, but the color
Of the sky tonight's so nice I don't mind (Hey, hey)
Slid under the cover, change my number, feels like summer
Under kitchen light, it's nice I don't mind, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Something in the air
I'm tripling in size, oh I, I swear (Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
Something in the air
I've been up all night and I don't care (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Filling a void
With the joy I'm feeling
Though I know that it is fleeting
I will welcome it in (Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
We'll dance to the noise
Of whatever's on TV
For someone who gets so needy, I could get used to this (Get used to this, oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm a bummer, got no lover, but the color
Of the sky tonight's so nice I don't mind (So nice I don't mind)
Slid under the cover, change my number, feels like summer
Under kitchen light, it's nice I don't mind, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Something in the air
I'm tripling in size, oh I, I swear (Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
Something in the air
I've been up all night and I don't care (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I'm a bummer, got no lover, but the color
Of the sky tonight's so nice I don't mind (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
Something in the air
I'm tripling in size, oh I, I swear (Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
Something in the air
I've been up all night and I don't care (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Something in the air
I'm sleepin' inside, Oh I, I swear (Oh yeah, yeah)
Something in the air (Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh)
[Outro]
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Something in the air
