"Dead Man" is a song by Canadian singer and songwriter Alessia Cara.

The track was released on July 19, 2024, as the lead single from her fourth studio album, Love & Hyperbole.

Cara wrote the song alongside producer Mike Elizondo.

Cara changed her layout on social media in late June 2024 and began to post cryptic teaser images on a daily basis.

Basically, looking at the other person and metaphorically shaking them and saying ‘I am really trying my best to hold here, but if you don’t want to be held onto then there’s nothing left of this’.
