"Here" is the debut single by Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara, released on April 30, 2015 as lead single from her EP Four Pink Walls and her album Know-It-All, both debuting in the same year. Created around a sample of "Ike's Rap II" by Isaac Hayes from his album Black Moses, "Here" is a pop and R&B song about people who secretly hate parties.{{cite news|title=New Songs: Alessia Cara - Here|url=http://cutfromsteel.com/new-song-alessia-cara-here/|access-date=May 12, 2015|publisher=Cut from Steel|date=May 4, 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507192052/http://cutfromsteel.com/new-song-alessia-cara-here/|archive-date=May 7, 2015}}{{cite magazine|url=http://www.thefader.com/2015/04/27/alessia-here|title=Every Introvert Needs To Hear This Song|last=Zeichner|first=Naomi|magazine=The Fader|date=April 27, 2015|access-date=August 14, 2015}}

While working on her debut album in 2014, Cara attended a house party.{{Cite web|url=https://www.glamour.com/story/alessia-cara-5-songs-5-stories|title=Alessia Cara Says a Plastic Surgery Show Inspired Her Hit Song 'Scars to Your Beautiful'|date=15 July 2021}} She told NME, "Everyone seemed to know each other, but not me.

Critical reception

"Here" was met with critical acclaim by music critics, who praised the song's concept and lyrics. Rolling Stone ranked "Here" at number 21 on its year-end list of the 50 best songs of 2015.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/50-best-songs-of-2015-20151203/titus-andronicus-dimed-out-20151203|title=50 Best Songs of 2015|magazine=Billboard.com}} Billboard ranked "Here" at number six on its year-end list: "If Lorde{{'}}s 'Royals' was a rallying cry for those who felt isolated by the rampant materialism in pop culture, then Alessia Cara's 'Here' is the anthem for those fed up with the glut of pop songs about partying and drinking. Thanks to the teenage R&B singer, being an introvert is finally cool again."{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/events/year-in-music-2015/6806155/billboard-25-best-songs-critics-picks|title=Billboard 25 Best Songs of 2015: Critics' Picks|magazine=Billboard.com}} The prestigious Village Voice voted "Here" the 18th-best single released in 2015 on their annual year-end critics' poll, Pazz & Jop; the song is tied with Courtney Barnett{{'}}s "Depreston".{{cite news|url=http://furia.com/pjs/table_song_2015_total.html|title=Pazz & Jop Statistics|newspaper=The Village Voice|access-date=January 13, 2016}}

The video uses the inspiration of how Cara wrote the song by having her at a party and being the only one moving while the party is frozen in time,{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkS3sjWgpUs|title=Alessia Cara - Here (Behind The Scenes)|publisher=YouTube|date=May 26, 2015|access-date=September 16, 2015}} while she's next to crowds of girls and guys drinking beer and gossiping. In an interview with Taylor Swift, Cara states the extras at the party are actually people from the original party that was the inspiration for the song, and some of her friends.{{cite web |title=Taylor Swift Interviews Alessia Cara #KNOWITALL (Full Interview) | website=YouTube | date=25 November 2015 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLi9fQ5k8j0 |language=en}}

The visual effect of the frozen partygoers predated the viral Internet phenomenon Mannequin Challenge.
