Even if you’re surrounded by many people, it’s still possible to feel lonely. Perhaps in the digital age, this statement holds more truth than ever! A follower count doesn’t necessarily equal a friend count, and sometimes it can be hard to tell whether someone else really has your best interest in mind. 

Yes, it’s a struggle. Yes, it’s very real. But with her new single “Lonely,” Zoe Wees is tackling the subject head-on. As she opens up about her experiences with feeling like she’s totally on her own, perhaps you’ll find this song to be a great companion in your journey towards becoming the best version of you!

“Releasing music has created so many new, great friendships and given me so many opportunities, however, I’ve often found myself in a lonely place even in a crowded room,” says Zoe Wees. “And many of my friends felt the same way. I realized that you could have great people around you but still feel lonely. I also realized that your own feelings are more important than anything physical and that I want to be loved for being me and not for anything else. I’m growing day-by-day and feel hopeful even though sometimes it makes me sad. I hope this song helps people notice they’re not alone in thinking the same.”

Zoe Wees started writing the song around Christmas, a time which she admits can be quite difficult and lonely for her as well as many others. “At first I didn’t like the song at all and I stopped the session and went home,” she says. “But a few weeks later, I couldn’t get it out of my head and started working on it again. It took me a while to be comfortable with it but now I love the song and its honesty.”
