[Chorus: BENEE]
I know I fucked up, I'm just a loser
Shouldn't be with ya, guess I'm a quitter
While you're out there drinkin', I'm just here thinkin'
'Bout where I should've been
I've been lonely, mmh, ah, yeah
[Verse 1: BENEE]
Water pouring down from the ceiling
I knew this would happen, still hard to believe it
Maybe I'm dramatic, I don't wanna seem it
I don't wanna panic
[Pre-Chorus: BENEE]
I'm a sad girl in this big world, it's a mad world
All of my friends know what's happened, you're a bad thing (Ah)
[Chorus: BENEE]
I know I fucked up, I'm just a loser
Shouldn't be with ya, guess I'm a quitter
While you're out there drinkin', I'm just here thinkin'
'Bout where I should've been
I've been lonely, mmh, ah, yeah
[Post-Chorus: BENEE]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Lonely (I'm a lonely bitch)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Lonely (Super lonely)
[Verse 2: BENEE & Gus Dapperton]
Now I'm in the bathtub cryin'
Think I'm slowly sinking
Bubbles in my eyes now
Maybe I'm just dreamin'
Now I'm in the sad club
Just tryna get a back rub (Lonely)
[Pre-Chorus: BENEE with Gus Dapperton]
I'm a sad girl in this big world, it's a mad world
All of my friends know what's happened, you're a bad thing
[Chorus: BENEE]
I know I fucked up (Fucked up), I'm just a loser (Loser)
Shouldn't be with ya (With ya), guess I'm a quitter (Quitter)
While you're out there drinkin' (Drinkin'), I'm just here thinkin' (Thinkin')
'Bout where I should've been (Where I should've been)
I've been lonely, mmh, ah, yeah (Woah)
[Post-Chorus: BENEE]
La-la-la-la (Woo), la-la-la-la
Lonely (I'm a lonely bitch)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Lonely (Super lonely)
[Bridge: Gus Dapperton]
I loathe romancing in itself, yeah, I'd be damned to try
I'm only dancin' by myself, so I don't slam my Irish buck
Compostable cups, B-B-BENEE, I can't stress this enough
I would hate to mess things up, but my boogie still stays restless as fuck, yeah
[Chorus: BENEE & Gus Dapperton, BENEE]
I know I fucked up, I'm just a loser
Shouldn't be with ya, guess I'm a quitter
While you're out there drinkin', I'm just here thinkin'
'Bout where I should've been
I've been lonely, mmh, ah, yeah
[Post-Chorus: BENEE]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Lonely (I'm a lonely bitch)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Lonely (Super lonely)
[Outro: BENEE]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la (I've been lonely, I've been lonely)
Lonely (I've been lonely, by the way)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
Lonely (I've been lonely)

This one is a super self-deprecating song where I just take the piss out of myself being sad haaaa! Then BOOM, Gus Dapperton drops a twist at the end with his fun...
During the week ending May 23, 2020, “Supalonely” peaked at #39 on the Hot 100.
I kind of wanted to add light to the sitch because I was obviously upset at the time. But I wanted to make a song that someone could listen to who was feeling lonely and depressiado and be like, “Oh, crap, this person’s feeling the same. I’m not lonely.”
But I made the song with Josh Fountain and this girl called Jenna Andrews, and it was the first session I had in LA. I had literally broken up with my boyfriend five days before going to LA, which was so dumb, but I don’t know. I was only with my producer and my manager in LA, so I was feeling lonel...
It’s crazy how it’s connecting to all of these people, and I feel like everyone can kind of relate. We’re all lonely bitches right now which, I don’t know, it’s kind of cool. I think that even though there is this crazy virus going around, it’s kind of weird because at the same time we’re all kind o...
It was a day session. So, we actually finished the song in maybe six hours, I think? We kind of finished it on the day and I was like, “It’s good. I like it like that.” And then maybe a month later my guy Dan from Republic sent it to Gus because they’re mates, and Gus was like, “I’d be really keen t...
Yes. This song was certified platinum by the RIAA on July 23, 2020.
I’d broken up with that dude maybe a week before leaving to LA for a month to make music. It was the first session of the trip and I just vented to this woman I was working with. I was just like, ‘I’m heartbroken, but I know I’ve made the right decision. I just feel lonely as heck.’ I knew I’d be ma...
