Aleia - Pretty When I Cry

In "Pretty When I Cry," the Australian singer-songwriter Aleia delivers a decisive verdict about her hopefully now ex-partner. The folk-pop song is emotional, but gentle, as if she still sees the fault with herself. Aleia explains:

"Pretty When I Cry" was written about the desperation of clinging to the belief someone has your best interests at heart when they don’t. When you have tell yourself a lie until you trust it as the truth, even when all the sign suggest otherwise.
