"Lonely" is a song by Australian singer and actress Casey Donovan (singer). It is her first original single in seven years and was released independently on 19 May 2017[1] as the lead single from her EP Off the Grid & Somewhere in Between. The track is a heartfelt pop ballad written by Donovan and producer Daniel Skeed (also known as Dan Skeed). It draws from Donovan's personal experiences of heartbreak and loneliness, with lyrics expressing the pain of unrequited love and the decision to walk away.
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]
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]
