Cara Delevingne Releases 2 Debut Songs Inspired by Sobriety and Mental Health

33-year-old Cara Delevingne said her first two songs, "I Forgot" and "Out of My Head," were shaped by sobriety and the mental health struggles she has faced.
"Out of My Head" grew out of her first year sober, she told BBC Radio 1, describing internal conflict, dissociation and overthinking that led to the chorus change.
"I Forgot" was written to capture how raw mental health can feel and to give her a healthier outlet for anger and emotion than she had found before.
Last Friday's release marks a music debut for the model and actor, who said she wanted listeners to hear her as a flawed person using music to connect through pain.
A 7-minute video directed by Jessica Lee Gagné, a lead cinematographer on "Severance," pairs the tracks with cinematic scenes spanning a film set, forest and office.
