Singer-songwriter Clairo recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform her intimate track “Juna” from her latest album, Charm. The 22-year-old musician, whose real name is Claire Cottrill, released the album earlier this month to critical acclaim.
During her performance, Clairo showcased her signature dreamy vocals and delicate guitar playing, creating a serene and captivating atmosphere. The stripped-down rendition of “Juna” allowed the lyrics to take center stage, as Clairo sang about the complexities of a relationship and the fear of losing someone.
Charm, which is Clairo’s second studio album, explores themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. The album has been praised for its raw and honest lyrics, as well as its dreamy and nostalgic sound. It is a departure from her previous work, showcasing Clairo’s growth as an artist.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Clairo shared her inspiration behind “Juna,” saying, “It’s about the fear of losing someone and the realization that you can’t control everything in a relationship.” She also revealed that the song was written during a time when she was struggling with her mental health, making it a deeply personal and emotional track.
Clairo rose to fame in 2017 with her viral hit “Pretty Girl” and has since gained a dedicated fan base.
