Cara Delevingne Releases Two Debut Singles Inspired by Her Battle with Mental Health and Addiction

JAKARTA - British model and actress Cara Delevingne has officially expanded her wings into the music industry by releasing two debut singles titled "I Forgot" and "Out of My Head".

These two debut songs are not just a casual project, but a deep reflection of Cara's struggle in dealing with mental health problems and the process of achieving a conscious state from addiction.

The 33-year-old woman, who became popular through the film Suicide Squad and the series Only Murders in the Building, said the transition to a life free from drug and alcohol dependence had a big influence on her creative process.

As for the number "Out of My Head", specifically, it was born from the emotional turmoil he felt during the first year of his recovery.

"We changed the chorus to 'out of my head' because I think it's something I have to do every day to get out of the habit of thinking too much," Delevingne said in a recent interview on the New Music Show on BBC Radio 1, hosted by Jack Saunders.

Delevingne added that the song captures a moment of inner conflict, dissociation, and all the emotional turmoil that raged in her head.

Meanwhile, through the song "I Forgot", he wants to present a real landscape about how raw and heavy it is to deal with mental health disorders. For him, music is the healthiest cathartic medium to vent negative emotions, including anger that has been difficult to express.

Previously, Cara Delevingne was known to be vocal about her struggle against acute depression and addiction. She had undergone a 12-step recovery program which was recognized as helping save her life.

Through music, Cara wants to break down the stigma and public expectations that have always been attached to her image as a world supermodel.

"I want this to feel like me as a human being who has managed to break through that, and try my best to say: 'I am a human being, I have a disability, and we all have pain and suffering, but music can be the only connection to it'," he said.

To complement her debut, Cara Delevingne also released a cinematic music video lasting seven minutes for both songs.

The psychological-themed music video was directed by Jessica Lee Gagné, a cinematographer who successfully worked on the Severance series.

This magnificent and theatrical visualization was deliberately chosen to align its background in the acting world with its new vision of musicality.
