Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone (Jermaine Jackson song)

"Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone" was originally recorded by Jackson. It was the second single released from his eleventh studio album, Precious Moments, and his twenty-third single overall. In Jackson's book You Are Not Alone, Jackson describes how, after leaving the Jackson 5, fans often turned on him. Some even refused his autograph, accusing him of betraying his brothers. Having been used to constant praise, this rejection felt like a harsh blow. Yet, from that dark period came inspiration—his first real encounter with loneliness motivated him to write the song.^[1]

"Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone" was later recorded by American pop artist Glenn Medeiros. It was the second single released from his self-titled debut album. It reached number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 30, 1988.^[2]

"Lonely Won't Leave Me Alone" was covered in a Cantonese version as "千億個夜晚" ("A Hundred Billion Nights") and released on the album 《千億個夜晚》 by George Lam. (1986)
