Alessia Cara is taking ZERO prisoners with this cover of Selena Gomez's “Same Old Love.”

You can't help but feel a little bad for Selena Gomez.

For the past year, she's struggled to emerge from that Justin Bieber-shaped shadow eclipsing most things she did. I mean, Revival came out, and people had just one thing to say: "IS SHE FINALLY OVER JUSTIN?!"

There was never any coverage focused just on the album itself or even just Selena as an artist.

Lately, though, she really separated herself from Biebs. During her performance of “Hands To Myself” on "Saturday Night Live" last week, I honestly forgot Justin Bieber ever existed.

That fact makes what I'm about to say super sh*tty, and I'm super sorry for saying it. Alessia Cara's cover of “Same Old Love” is better than the original.

Alessia, you have your own album! Just sing stuff from Know-It-All!

STOP STEALING ALL OF SELENA'S THUNDER! SHE JUST GOT IT!

GODDAMN IS THIS EFFING COVER GREAT, THOUGH.
