"Lonely Boy" is the name of a song written and recorded by Andrew Gold in 1976 for his album What's Wrong with This Picture?. The song features backing vocals provided by Linda Ronstadt. When released as a single in 1977, the song became a top twenty hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom. While it would prove his biggest U.S. hit, Gold's later single "Never Let Her Slip Away" experienced greater success in the UK.
The song follows the life of a child who is neglected by his parents after the birth of a younger sister. Many deem this song to be autobiographical of its author Andrew Gold yet the artist has denied this assumption despite great similarities between the lyrics and Gold's own life.
