Know-It-All is the debut studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara. It was released on November 13, 2015 through Def Jam Recordings. The album followed the release of her debut extended play (EP) Four Pink Walls (2015), which Cara regarded as a preview of the album. Know-It-All contains the five original songs from Four Pink Walls as well as five new songs recorded for the album. The album, a R&B and pop record, was produced by Cara herself, alongside Kuya, Malay, Alan Nglish, Fredro, Pop & Oak, and Sebastian Kole. Kole makes a sole guest appearance on the standard edition of the album.

Three singles were released for the album. The first, "Here", was released on the 30th of April, 2015, and was commercially successful, charting at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaking at the top of three more Billboard charts in the United States. The second single, "Wild Things", was released on the 2nd of February, 2016, and was modestly successful, peaking within the top 10 of the Canadian CHR/Top 40 and Hot AC charts. The third single, "Scars to Your Beautiful" was the album's final single, released on the 26th of July, 2016. The single was also commercially successful, peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping four Billboard charts.

Upon its release, Know-It-All was positively received by music critics, who praised the album for its lyrics and production. Commercially, the album charted at number 9 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. It was also certified 3× Platinum in Canada and 2× Platinum in the United States and New Zealand. The album would eventually win Pop Album of the Year at the 2017 Juno Awards. Reissues of the album feature guest appearances from G-Eazy, Logic, and Jaden Smith, alongside Cara's cover of "How Far I'll Go" from the Disney movie Moana (2016). Cara would go on to promote the album with her Know-It-All Tour throughout 2016.
