"Never Be Alone" is a song by British singer-songwriter Becky Hill and electronic producer Sonny Fodera. It was released on 19 January 2024 through Polydor Records as the third single from her second studio album, Believe Me Now?.[1] [2]

The song peaked at number twenty-three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Hill's nineteenth and Fodera's second top-forty single respectively.[3] [4]

Composition

The track was written by Becky Hill, Sonny Fodera, Mark Foster, Karen Poole, Daniel Thomas Clare and Dylan Lewis Nile May, and produced by Fodera with Mark Ralph and Maur. In an interview with KISS, Hill stated:

‘Never Be Alone’ was born out of a post lockdown world where isolation and distance were forced upon the world. With my partner and I both being in music, we really felt the full force of an imposed lockdown on the events industry. [...]. What I love about this single is that it has transcended lockdown and feels so relevant still in a time when we need to be there for each other now more than ever. I’ve been playing it in my live sets this summer and it has been a joy watching the crowd’s reaction, but I’m excited to show people what Sonny Fodera has added to this anthem; he’s one of the only people left in the dance space I haven’t collaborated with yet and I can’t wait to release this record alongside him. - Hill, via KISS.[5]

Promotion

To promote the single, several versions were released to streaming platforms, including an extended mix, an orchestral acoustic, and a rave edit of the track were made available. Four remixes were released to promote the track, including remixes by Alcemist, D.O.D, DAIRE, and Taiki Nulight.[6] Alongside releasing her new song, Becky dropped a fire-filled music video,[7] which was shot on location in Morocco’s Agafay Desert just outside Marrakesh. In the video, Becky can be seen moving from daylight to dusk, while the song intensifies and we see her singing surrounded by a ring of fire.[8]

Critical reception

Lewis Mulligan of We Rave You called it "a powerful anthem of hope and resilience" and praised Hill's vocal performance and Fodera's production, stating: "The track is a potent mix of Hill's dancefloor-diva vocals and Fodera's infectious production, with heavyweight dub bass, pounding beats, and luminous synths that build to an exhilarating drop."[9] Maddie Whelan of EDM Maniac described it as "an absolute club and festival banger".[10]
