When she was 19, she published her first single for her debut album Here. It was an instant hit which both the critics and admirers praised it. It ranked at number 19 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100. Even Rolling Stone named the song one of the Top Songs in 2015. That same year, she released Know It All. Scars to Your Beautiful is one of five songs she wrote that made it to the charts of Billboard. The track was distinctive because there were many who reacted to the interview she did with the rapper Rap-Up on her journey to find love and embrace her. Cara has earned a name for incorporating messages about the importance of mental health, kindness and self-love within her songs. All of it is a result of her personal experiences as she had to deal with issues of mental health and insomnia. In an interview with Reuters she stated that her album is "half turbulent" as well as "half perfected". She says she grew through therapy, and encourages other people to get help when necessary.
