Alessia Cara Covers Justin Bieber's 'Love Yourself'
Alessia Cara has become the queen of covers, singing everything from Drake’s “Hotline Bling” to Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood” to Nick Jonas’ “Levels.” Now the 19-year-old Canadian songstress, whose debut album Know-It-All was released last week, gave Justin Bieber’s song “Love Yourself” the cover treatment.
While staring into her laptop, a beanie-clad Alessia pulled out her guitar and performed an acoustic rendition of the Ed Sheeran-penned track off Bieber’s new album Purpose. While she admitted to being shaky on the lyrics, she still nailed it.
“I love this song and I just learned it three seconds ago, so I’m probably gonna get the words wrong as usual, but that’s OK,” she said.
Her album is expected to sell 25-28,000 units in its first week. You can catch her performing her hit single “Here” and maybe a cover or two on her headlining tour beginning next year.
