Background and reception

[edit]

Richard Nowels Jr. co-wrote "Out of Love" with Alessia Cara, and co-produced it with Dean Reid. The song was inspired by a friend of Cara's who had a breakup.[1] It is an "airy, slow and personally deep" song, which was created after a friend asked Cara to write a song about "somebody falling out of love with you".[2] It was serviced to contemporary hit radio on January 29, 2019, six days after Cara unveiled its artwork.[3]

According to Beth Bowles of Exclaim!, "Out of Love" sees the singer "demand our attention as she shows off her her vocal range, her voice smooth and rich as honey".[4] NME's Nick Levine called the song a "big, sad ballad".[5]
