Korean American singer AleXa will release her English track “Sick” on Friday, according to the singer’s agency ZB Label on Tuesday.

The song is AleXa’s first release in eight months since her digital single “Juliet” dropped in June last year.

“Sick” is about the complexities of relationships, according to ZB Label. The lyrics depict the process through which someone who believes they are undeserving of love and praise given by another defines their worth, the agency said.

The singer recently sat down for an interview on NBC talk show “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” on which she also performed “Sick.”
