Illustrating a brand new, different side of Alessia Cara, “Shapeshifter” is cloaked in intricate, ‘sharp’ lyrics and, as she puts it, ‘dramatic’ production. It is the first song she wrote for the album. The song experiments with its identity, traveling roads not taken, and lets it known that it is b...
[Verse 1]
I can't quite put my finger on you, you shapeshifter
I don't even know if you believe you, you minddrifter
I should've known it wouldn't be you, you big quitter
What a way to go, you didn't need to I'm still bitter
[Pre-Chorus]
Who was I to think that I could be the one to change your mind
To mean more than some history, to have time on my side?
Who was I to think that I could stop the sun from setting on us
Said you wouldn't break your promise, Mr. Honest
[Chorus]
Don't know if I wanna get you back or get you back someday
Don't know if I'm even mad or just sad you couldn't stay, yeah
Go figure, team switcher, it's a shame
Did I get fooled or are you a fool just like me?
[Verse 2]
Replace your guilt with philosophy, bright idea
I bet you forgot you said you need me, on tequila
Got the two of us, we're dancing in a dream, buzz killer
We were never two, my dear, we were three (Hmm)
[Pre-Chorus]
And who was I to think that I could be the one to make your choice
To mean more than some history, to cut through all the noise?
Who were you to think that I would be fine being disrespected
I hope someday you regret it, yeah, I said it
[Chorus]
Don't know if I wanna get you back or get you back someday
Don't know if I'm even mad or just sad you couldn't stay, yeah
Go figure, team switcher, it's a shame
Did I get fooled or are you a fool just like me?
[Bridge]
Shape (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Shapeshifter (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Shapeshifter
Shapeshifter (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
Shapeshifter (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
[Chorus]
Don't know if I wanna get you back or get you back someday
Don't know if I'm even mad or just sad you couldn't stay, yeah
Go figure, team switcher, it's a shame
Did I get fooled or are you a fool just like me?
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh

So I recorded “Shapeshifter”… Well, for anyone who knows me, personally, or even not, I mean, I say this in every interview: I love Amy Winehouse. Ehm and so, I was in this producer, he’s a legend […] and I was in his house, I had one day off in Miami to go and work with him. And I went to go to his...
