Music Video
The video opens with Tremblay sitting alone in a dressing room, staring at himself in the mirror.He is dressed like Bieber in the early days of his career,[59] with bowl-style side-swept hair,[60] a purple hoodie,[61][62] white denim jacket and pants,[63][64] and a pair of purple sneakers. Blanco makes an appearance as he enters the room to notify Tremblay it is time to get on stage.[65] Tremblay then proceeds to pick up a hockey stick and practice hockey briefly, before exiting the dressing room. As the video progresses, Tremblay walks around the backstage by himself, and ultimately ends up on stage facing an empty theater, mouthing the lyrics "I'm so lonely". As the camera zooms out, Bieber is revealed to be the only member of the audience, watching Tremblay's performance in his seat with a blank expression,[68][69] reflecting on and judging his own past.
Notes
"Lonely" is a song by Canadian singer Justin Bieber and American record producer Benny Blanco. It was released through Def Jam Recordings, Interscope Records, and Friends Keep Secrets on October 16, 2020, as the second single from Bieber's sixth studio album, Justice (2021), and was also included on the 2021 reissue of Blanco's debut studio album, Friends Keep Secrets (2018). The song was produced by Blanco and Finneas, who both wrote it alongside Bieber. At the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, "Lonely" received a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Everybody knows my name now But somethin' 'bout it still feels strange We sittin' in the mirror, tryna steady yourself And seein' somebody else And everything is not the same now It feels like all our lives have changed Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down But it's killin' me now What if you had it all but nobody to call? Maybe then you'd know me 'Cause I've had everything but no one's listening And that's just fuckin' lonely I'm so lonely Lonely Everybody knows my past now Like my house is always made of glass But maybe that's the price you pay For the money and fame at an early age And everybody saw me sick And it felt like no one gave a shit They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid What if you had it all but nobody to call? Maybe then you'd know me 'Cause I've had everything but no one's listening And that's just fuckin' lonely I'm so lonely Lonely I'm so lonely Lonely
