"Lonely" is a pop song written by Merril Bainbridge and Owen Bolwell, produced by Siew for Merril Bainbridge's second album Between the Days (1998). It was released as the album's first single in the middle of 1998 in Australia and around the world (see 1998 in music). The bridge of the song samples the lyrics from the nursery rhyme "Georgie Porgie".
The song made its debut to the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number seventy-four, making the song Bainbridge's fifth song to reach the top one hundred. On its second week it fell three places to seventy-seven but by the next week the song jumped nine places to sixty-eight and after six weeks of being in the chart it broke the top fifty at number forty-eight. After two weeks of being in the top fifty the song peaked at its peak position in Australia at number forty, then dropping out of the top fifty the next week. The song spent a total of three weeks in the top fifty and seventeen weeks in the top one hundred.
It was not Bainbridges biggest hit in the U.S. or Japan, only peaking on the U.S. Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at number eighteen and spending four weeks in the chart and it debuted and peaked at number twenty-five in Japan.
