(Isn’t It) Obvious is a jazz-influenced pop ballad by Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara, released on October 21, 2024, as the first promotional single from her fourth studio album, *Love & Hyperbole*. The song delves into the complexities of long-distance relationships, emphasizing the importance of reassurance and emotional connection. Co-written with Yakob, who also produced the track, the song features a subtle yet impactful guitar solo by John Mayer, adding depth to its introspective tone. The accompanying music video, directed by Gordy De St. Jeor, presents a series of metaphorical scenes—including an art gallery, a chess match, and a therapy session—that symbolize the uncertainties and nuances of love. These visuals complement the song’s themes, offering a contemplative exploration of affection and doubt.
