Common card · No. 377319

"Brave" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles from her fourth studio album, The Blessed Unrest (2013). It was released as the lead single from the album on April 23, 2013, by Epic Records. Bareilles wrote it with Jack Antonoff, as the singer was inspired by the struggles a close friend faced regarding coming out as gay. Bareilles requested Mark Endert to produce it with the explicit goal of radio airplay. "Brave" received positive reviews from music critics, with one writing that Bareilles channels singers like Fiona Apple and Florence Welch. Some critics noted the similarity to Katy Perry's single "Roar," which was released four months later. "Brave" became Bareilles's third top 40 hit in the United States, peaking at number 23, and reached number three in Australia, her highest-charting single in the country to date. The single also reached number four in New Zealand, number 26 in South Korea, number 48 in the United Kingdom, number 58 in Canada, and number 88 in Japan...
