Composition[]

Matoma wrote "Lonely" about "fake people that aren't there for you and bring you down with their negative energy".[3]

Music[]

"Lonely" is an uptempo EDM-pop song with a tropical-influenced drop.[3][1] It begins with Max's "sultry" vocals along with minimal percussion and gradually builds on its bass and synthesizer instrumentation.[1]

Critical reception[]

Billboard called the song a "bouncy tropical jam",[3] with edm.com also noting its "upbeat, tropical sounding instrumental drop complete with synths and a catchy melody".[1] Aficia considered it "bright and seductive" and acclaimed Max for his "warm vocal harmonies and flights", as well as the song's "melodic and catchy rhythm" and hook.[4]

Music video[]

The music video was released in April 2018 and features a group of dancers in a club setting.[5] Max is shown singing the song while looking into a mirror in the club's bathroom.[5]
