Background and reception

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 vocal range, her voice smooth and rich as honey".[4] NME's Nick Levine called the song a "big, sad ballad".[5]

The artwork for "Out of Love" was unveiled on January 23, 2019. Five remixes of the song were released on April 5, 2019.[6]

Lyrics

I won't tell you I'm lonely
'Cause it may be selfish
I won't ask you to hold me
'Cause that won't mend what's helpless

There's not a thing I could say
Not a song I could sing
For your mind to change
Nothing can fill up the space
Won't ask you to stay
But let me ask you one thing

Oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love?
Out of love
Oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love with me?

I can't float in an ocean
That's already been drained
I won't cry at your feet now
I know my tears will fall in vain

There's not a thing I could say
Not a song I could sing
For your mind to change
Nothing can fill up the space
Won't ask you to stay
But let me ask you one thing
There's not a thing I could say
Not a song I could sing
For your mind to change
Nothing can fill up the space
Won't ask you to stay
But let me ask you one thing

No use wondering
Why your changing heart has wandered
So I'll ask you this question
'Cause it might help me sleep longer

Oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love?
Out of love
Oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love with me?
Oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love?
Out of love
Oh, oh, oh when did you fall out of love with me?

Out of love, out of love, out of love
With me
