Korean-American K-pop singer AleXa has released a new single titled ‘Distraction’.
In the new visual for ‘Distraction’, AleXa battles her feelings for a past flame, convincing herself to get over him. “He’s not the best, he’s a regret / Stop cryin’ over someone / Who’s ignoring your texts / Cause it’s not love it’s just a new distraction,” she sings on the chorus.
“I wanted to create a song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt undervalued in a relationship,” said Alexa of the new song in a press release. “‘Distraction’ is about recognizing your worth and not allowing yourself to be anyone’s second choice. It’s a reminder to everyone that love is a two-way street, and you deserve someone who respects and cherishes you.”
The new single is the latest in a string of English releases by the singer this year, following ‘i’m okay’ and ‘sick’. “We wanted to go with a sound, image and overall aesthetics that are kind of a 180 to what we’ve done so far with AleXa the K-pop artist,” she said of the latter in an interview with NME.
