ALI GATIE

It’s You

The 22-year-old

To r o n t o n a t i ve ’s f i r s t

Hot 100 entry also

holds its No. 5 peak

on Hot R&B Songs

for a sixth week.

What inspired the song’s raw lyricism?

At heart, I’m a writer; I was always into

writing books or stories. “It’s You” is about

trying to move on from heartbreak and

open up [to] the idea of falling in love

again, which is scary. Some people think

being vulnerable is weak, but I think it’s

a strength if I’m able to tell you when I’m

hurting. Writing it [took] 15 minutes.

Why was it important to you to feature

people of different ages, races and

religions in the music video?

Love is universal. It should not have [one]

image, color, race or story. I have a huge

global fan base, so I wanted to make sure

my fans felt represented. And I come from

a diverse background — my parents were

immigrants [from Iraq].

You own your label, LISN, and signed to

Warner Records last November. What

made this arrangement the right fit?

Warner CEO Aaron Bay-Schuck and [I] just

clicked. He had this understanding that I’m

business-savvy and like to be involved. We

work together to figure out which song to

release and the proper marketing. When

I signed, I bought my parents a car. That’s

emotional for me. —BIANCA GRACIE

As the track starts with

14.3 million U.S. streams,

Ross earns his highest

Hot 100 debut as a lead artist,

while Drake adds his 197th

entry and record-extending

99th top 40 hit.
