“Solo” is an anthem for singles. Carly sings about living life in the best possible way, even without being in love with someone.
“Solo” was added at the last minute as the album initially had eleven tracks. Carly thought that “Solo” was the “perfect song for people who are in quarantine right now”...
[Verse 1]
And I know what it feels like
To be alone on a cold night
No one you can hold tight (Hold tight, ah, ah, ah)
And I'm not trying to play it down
But it's all gonna turn around
And I swear it'll be alright (Alright, ah, ah, ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You let go, she moved on
A thousand stories before
You felt it, then lost it
You're lonely, your heart aches
But get yourself off the floor
I can't stand to see you crying
[Chorus]
So what you're not in love?
Don't go wasting your nights getting so low
So what you're not in love?
You shine bright by yourself dancing solo
[Verse 2]
It looks nice from the outside
When they all got the perfect guy
Hold on for the long ride (Long ride, ah, ah, ah)
But your fears got it all wrong
That he's right and there's something wrong
'Cause I swear, you'll be alright (Alright, ah, ah, ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You let go, she moved on
A thousand stories before
You felt it, then lost it
You're lonely, your heart aches
But get yourself off the floor
I can't stand to see you crying
[Chorus]
So what you're not in love?
Don't go wasting your nights getting so low
So what you're not in love?
You shine bright by yourself dancing solo
[Pre-Chorus]
You let go, she moved on
A thousand stories before
You felt it, then lost it
You're lonely, your heart aches
But get yourself off the floor
I can't stand to see you crying
[Chorus]
So what you're not in love?
Don't go wasting your nights getting so low
So what you're not in love?
You shine bright by yourself dancing solo
Solo was written by Nate Campany & James Flannigan & Carly Rae Jepsen.
Solo was produced by James Flannigan.
Carly Rae Jepsen released Solo on Thu May 21 2020.
It’s a song that sort of hooks on to, like, “So what? You’re not in love? We’re going to shine bright on yourself dancing solo!” I was looking for motivational, uplifting sort of feelings.
