Justin Bieber & benny blanco - Lonely Lyrics

Justin Bieber & benny blanco Lyrics

"Lonely"

Everybody knows my name now
But something 'bout it still feels strange
Like lookin' in a mirror, tryna steady yourself
And seeing somebody else

And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down
But it's killing me now

What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just fucking lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that's the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age
And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave a shit
They criticized the things I did
As an idiot kid

What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then you'd know me

'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just fucking lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

"Lonely" was first teased by Benny Blanco on Twitter on the 12th of October 2020. He posted a video snippet of the show "Dave" with the song playing in background.

This song is the first collaboration between Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco as both credited artists. The latter said about Bieber's performance, "He's raw on this song. This song brought us so much closer together. And it was just he's really opening up on this and he's super vulnerable."

Justin Bieber wrote of this song, "I went into the studio and sang through it which wasn't easy but started to really see the importance of telling this story! It made me realise we all feel lonely at times! Being someone in my position I believe it is powerful to express vulnerability and that's why I believe this song is so powerful!"

Actor Jacob Tremblay plays the young Justin Bieber of his "Baby"-era in the music video for this track published on the 16th of October 2020.

A snippet of this new single could be heard before its release when the social-media platform Snapchat launched its "Sounds" feature on the 15th of October 2020.
