I'm Yours

## Audio

"**I'm Yours**" is the fourth track from Alessia Cara's EP, *Four Pink Walls* along with her debut studio album, *Know-It-All*. It was released on August 26, 2015 through Def Jam Recordings and Universal Music Group.

## Background

This song was written in New Jersey on guitar next to a garbage can, and was originally intended to be a guitar. Cara had always wanted to write an 'eff you' love song, a love song that isn't particularly nice.

## Lyrics

Some nerve you have

To break up my lonely

And tell me you want me

How dare you march into my heart?

Oh, how rude of you

To ruin my miserable

And tell me I'm beautiful

'Cause I wasn't looking for love, no

Nobody asked you to get me attached to you

In fact you tricked me

And I wasn't trying to fall in love but, boy, you pushed me

So all that I'm asking

Is that you handle me with caution

'Cause I don't give myself often

But I guess I'll try today

'Cause I've had my heart

Broken before

And I promised I would never let me hurt anymore

But I tore down my walls

And opened my doors

And made room for one

So, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

But I tore down my walls

And opened my doors

And made room for one

So, baby, I'm yours

I'm mad at you

For being so cute

And changing my mood

And altering my route

What's wrong with you?

You make me sick for being so perfect

What did I do?

What can I do, oh?

And I wasn't trying

To melt this heart of iron

But the way you hold me makes the old me pass away

And I would be lying

If I said I wasn't scared to fall again

But if you promise me you'll catch me

Then it's okay

'Cause I've had my heart

Broken before

And I promised I would never let me hurt anymore

But I tore down my walls

And opened my doors

And made room for one

So, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

But I tore down my walls

And opened my doors

And made room for one

So, baby, I'm yours

Oh, I hate that I

Spend my days just wasting time day dreaming 'til I see you again

I'm not used to this

Oh, I used to be so used to boys just using me

For you to be you to me

Feels new to me

'Cause I usually cheer for the bad side

Love under a bad sign

So it makes me mad I'm

Falling again

Falling again

But I tore down my walls

And opened my doors

And made room for one

So, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

But I tore down my walls

And opened my doors

And made room for one

So, baby, I'm yours

Oh, baby, I'm yours

## Visual

The official visual was released on August 27, 2015. The video features an "unwanted love interest" (played by Cara's brother Dario Caracciolo) following Cara around. At the end of the video, the stalker finally catches up to Cara.

## Trivia

* The strange sound heard throughout the song is a pitched down voice with an accent saying “body”. Cara thought it sounded cool so the producers Pop & Oak left it in

* The original bridge of the song was longer. It went: “it makes me mad i’m falling again / i got bad luck with bad guys / i’m bad at deciding who I should confide in”
