It was written and recorded over a period of two and a half years, with lyrics reflecting on a relationship she described as a ‘dated karmic connection that never fully materialised’.
“I don’t think the greatest love stories are measured by how long they last,” Snoh said in an interview.
“They’re measured by who they ask you to become. Every song holds a piece of who I was, who I became and who I will continue to be because I allowed myself to love this deeply,” she added, highlighting that love brought her back to music.
“I fell in love with growing up. It carried the same longing, romance and nostalgia that first made me dream of becoming an artist,” she noted.
The 39-year-old began writing music at the age of nine and released her debut album First Sign (2010) at 22 under the name Sheri.
She debuted her current stage name in 2014, with Aalegra rooted in the Italian word ‘allegra’, meaning ‘joyful’.
The songwriter was mentored by the late artist Prince from 2014 until his death in 2016 after he discovered her music and reached out to her.
Snoh is best known for her two albums Feels (2017) and its follow up Ugh, Those Feels Again (2019).
