"'Growing Pains'" is a song written and recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara, released as the lead single for her second studio album, 'The Pains of Growing.'

It was released to digital retailers on June 15, 2018 through Def Jam Recordings and serviced to American hot adult contemporary radio on June 25, 2018. Its official music video received a nomination for Best Cinematography at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards.

Composition



"Growing Pains" is a pop song with influences of R&B. Lyrically, the song discusses a loss of innocence and the "inevitable struggle of growing up."

Music video



An accompanying music video directed by Alan Masferrer premiered June 20, 2018. It is set in a dystopian environment meant to represent the oppression of others' influences. Cara begins the video in an oversized shirt before being pushed around by suit- and mask-wearing adult figures and being forced into an oversized grey suit herself. Lilly Milman of 'Billboard' wrote that the video finds Cara "navigating an obstacle course of adulthood."

Live performances



Cara debuted the song on 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' on June 18, 2018.
