Mixing Dua Lipa’s powerhouse vocals and lyrics with Martin Garrix’ infectiously catchy production, “Scared to Be Lonely” is a future bass song that furthered Garrix’ foray into pop music.
Lyrically, the song centers on a failing relationship in which the two lovers are only with each other for fear...
[Verse 1]
It was great at the very start
Hands on each other
Couldn't stand to be far apart
Closer the better
[Pre-Chorus]
Now we're picking fights and slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why, wonder what for
Why we keep coming back for more
[Chorus]
Is it just our bodies? Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
[Drop]
[Verse 2]
Too much time, losing track of us
Where was the real?
Undefined, spiraling out of touch
Forgot how it feels
[Pre-Chorus]
All the messed up fights and slamming doors
Magnifying all our flaws
And I wonder why, wonder what for
It's like we keep coming back for more
[Chorus]
Is it just our bodies? Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
Do we need somebody just to feel like we're alright?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
[Drop]
Scared to be lonely, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Even when we know it's wrong
And somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
Holding on tonight 'cause we're scared to be lonely
Even when we know it's wrong
And somebody better for us all along
Tell me, how can we keep holding on?
Holding on tonight 'cause we're scared to be lonely
[Chorus]
Is it just our bodies? Are we both losing our minds?
Is the only reason you're holding me tonight
'Cause we're scared to be lonely?
[Drop]
[Outro]
Scared to be lonely
Scared to be lonely, ooh, ooh
Eh, eh, scared to be lonely

Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa released Scared to Be Lonely on Fri Jan 27 2017.
Martin Garrix never wrote this song. In an interview with Z100.com, he explained that the lyrics came from a writer and Martin wanted Dua Lipa to sing it, while he focused on the production.
Martin Garrix told Hardwell On Air:
I’m really, really excited for this song. The song is called ‘Scared To Be Lonely.’ Working with Dua has been amazing, and I just can’t wait. You know the feeling, you have this song on your computer, and like, you only can play it to your friends and to your tea...
With Dua [Lipa], I had never met her in real life but I had this song called ‘Scared to Be Lonely’ and I really wanted [her to sing] a duet to be on the record because I loved her voice. Actually I’m in the process of doing another song together with her. I really got to like her and found out she’s...
