"How to Be Lonely" is a song by British singer Rita Ora, released as a single through Atlantic Records UK on 13 March 2020.

Composition

"How to Be Lonely" is a mid-tempo ballad that deals with themes about "battling insecurity".[3][4]

Critical reception

Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that the song is a "nice way to kick off an era" that "does showcase the 'Anywhere' singer's powerful pipes and growth as an artist".[3] Rob Copsey of the Official Charts Company wrote that the song features "opening guitar strums[,] Coldplay-sized chantalong chorus [and] catchy finger snaps, punchy electronic beats and some killer adlibs", concluding that Ora's "take on ugly crying powerhouse pop is masterfully done".[1]

Music video

In the music video, directed by Dave Meyers, Ora is in an empty room alone and then alone with a lot of people.[5] An arrow hits her.[6] In the next scene, she is walking in a room filled with eggshells. Then, she is dancing with a skeleton and a bear hugs her. After that, she falls into the sky.[7] Then she smashes a wall with a baseball bat.[8] A UFO lands.[9]

Live performances

Ora performed the song live at BBC's Sport Relief 2020 telethon on 13 March.[10]
