"Lonely" is a song by Australian recording artist Casey Donovan. The song was released on 19 May 2017.[1]

Donovan told Luke Dennehy of The Herald Sun the song comes from a deep, personal place. "It's basically my heart breaking on a song, the inspiration is love. Everyone is either happy in love, lost in love, or sad in love. One day when I do fall in love, I will have my ultimate love song." She added: "It's an expression of my life, and what I was feeling at the time of writing it."[2]

Donovan performed "Lonely" on The Morning Show on 18 May 2017[3] and on 3AW on 19 May 2017 with Denis Walter.[4]

Background and release

In 2016, Donovan played Killer Queen in the Australian production of We Will Rock You. Between January and March 2017, Donovan was a contestant on the third season of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, which she later won. On 23 April 2017, Donovan performed an acoustic version of David Bowie's "Heroes" at the 2017 Logie Awards, which received a standing ovation.[5] [6]

Donovan told auspOp: "It has been 10 years since I released my first independent EP Eye 2 Eye and I am so excited to be able to share this with the Australian public. I can't wait for people to hear what I've been working on in the studio. It has been a long while coming. After finishing up with We Will Rock You late last year it dawned upon me that I really wanted to get back into writing my own music and I really wanted to make that my main focus."[7]

Reception

Sounds of Oz said: "This is music in its purest form, with its heart its sleeve and vocals and lyrics that don't hide behind too much studio wizardry. It tells the story of a girl who desperately wants to be loved, yet fears she’ll always be lonely." They also added: "Casey, it's wonderful to have you back."[8]
