“I wanted to create a song that speaks to anyone who has ever felt undervalued in a relationship,” says AleXa.
“distraction” is about recognizing your selfworth and not allowing yourself to be anyone's second choice because you are amazing the way you are. It's a reminder to
everyone that you deserve someone who respects and cherishes you the same way you do for others. "distraction" is the latest in the multitude of English singles AleXa has released in her career, including “i’m okay” and “sick.”
