"Scared to Be Lonely" is a song recorded by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix and English and Albanian singer Dua Lipa. It was written by Giorgio Tuinfort, Nathaniel Campany, Kyle Shearer, and Georgia Ku, while the production was handled by Tuinfort, Valley Girl, and Lorna Blackwood. The song was released for digital download and streaming as a standalone single on 27 January 2017 by Stmpd Rcrds and Epic Records, after being premiered by Garrix at the 2017 AVA Festival a month earlier. It was later included on Dua Lipa: Complete Edition (2018), the super deluxe reissue of Lipa's eponymous debut studio album.

"Scared to Be Lonely" is a future bass track with electro and emo-EDM elements. Lyrically, the song sees Lipa singing about the ending of a relationship. The song was met with widespread critical acclaim from music critics, who praised Lipa's vocals and the song's emotive production, while the song also became a commercial success, reaching the top 10 of charts in 12 countries worldwide, including Garrix's native region of the Netherlands, reaching the third position. It additionally reached number 14 and 76, respectively, on the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Hot 100. The song has since been certified platinum or higher in 15 territories, including diamond in France and Mexico, quadruple platinum awards in Norway and Sweden as well as a triple platinum award in the Netherlands.

The music video for "Scared to Be Lonely" was directed by Blake Claridge and filmed in Scotland. It features Garrix walking around a landscape, reminiscing about past relationships, while Lipa sings in a forest. The two further promoted the song in 2017 with live performances at Capital FM's the Jingle Bell Ball, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Two remix EPs and an acoustic version were released. The EPs include remixes by Brooks, DubVision, and Loud Luxury.

Background and recording

Following the release of a club record in his third extended play Seven (2016), Martin Garrix wanted to return to the more pop-leaning sound of his single "In the Name of Love" (2016) with Bebe Rexha. In order to create a follow-up to the song, Garrix had an A&R meeting with his record label, Stmpd Rcrds and Epic Records, that featured seven new songs with potential. "Scared to Be Lonely" was then crafted as a completely new idea.{{cite web|url=https://www.idolator.com/7652435/martin-garrix-interview-2017-album?chrome=1|title=Martin Garrix On 'In The Name Of Love' & His Debut LP: Interview|website=Idolator|last=Wass|first=Mike|date=1 December 2016|access-date=21 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20201121223914/https://www.idolator.com/7652435/martin-garrix-interview-2017-album?chrome=1&edg-c=1|archive-date=21 November 2020}} It was written by Garrix, Giorgio Tuinfort, Nathaniel Campany, Kyle Shearer, and Georgia Ku. The song's production was handled by Garrix, Valley Girl, Tuinfort, and Lorna Blackwood. Engineering was done by Garrix, JP Negrete, and Cameron Gower-Poole, while Frank van Essen contributed the arrangement, violin, and strings. The song was recorded at The Record Plant in Hollywood and Studio Strings Attached in Collendoorn, the Netherlands.{{cite AV media notes |title=Dua Lipa: Complete Edition |type=liner notes |others=Dua Lipa |publisher=Warner Bros.

She continued by complimenting the "heart-rending" lyrics and how Garrix has proven he is worthy of his dance music industry vanguard status. In a separate Dancing Astronaut review, Kassi Chrys viewed that the song shows Garrix's "true artistry."

In her review for Time, Raisa Bruner named "Scared to Be Lonely" a "thoughtful ballad" that converts into a "slow-burning banger," while also praising the space given for Lipa's vocals to "shine." Billboard{{'}}s David Rishty and Kat Bein ranked it as Garrix's third best song, behind "In The Name of Love" and "Animals" (2013). The two of them saw the strength in the song's subtlety and commended Lipa's "beautiful" vocals. They also praised Garrix's production, calling the drop "warm" and the beat "steady." David Renshaw of The Fader labelled the song a "dramatic EDM banger," while Idolator{{'}}s Robbie Daw described it as a "slow-paced EDM track" and commended the "pretty stellar" middle eight. "Scared to Be Lonely" was nominated for Single of the Year at the 2017 Electronic Music Awards and won Best Bass Track at the 2018 WDM Radio Awards.{{cite magazine|last=Rishty|first=David|date=8 August 2017|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7896929/electronic-music-awards-nominees-complete-list-2017|title=The Chainsmokers, Justice, Eric Prydz & More Nominated for 2017 Electronic Music Awards|magazine=Billboard|access-date=22 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180517062433/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/dance/7896929/electronic-music-awards-nominees-complete-list-2017|archive-date=17 May 2018|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=http://los40.com.mx/especiales/wdm-Radio-Awards/nominados.html|title=WDM Radio Awards 2018 by LOS40|publisher=Los 40|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180617220004/http://los40.com.mx/especiales/wdm-Radio-Awards/nominados.html|archive-date=17 June 2018}}

Music videos

The music video for "Scared to Be Lonely" was directed by Blake Claridge and released alongside the song.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2vBLd5Egnk|title=Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa – Scared To Be Lonely (Official Video)|via=YouTube|date=27 January 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201120080712/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2vBLd5Egnk|archive-date=20 November 2020}} After receiving notice of the music video, the service production company LS Productions went in search of an expansive landscape with Scandinavian-looking wood and a house. The company sourced several potential locations around Scotland, eventually choosing a Category B-listed 19th century building in Dumfries and Galloway. The music video production team enlisted the help of Flying Pictures to shoot the video with drones. Two drone teams were used, one to supply a bright light on Garrix that emphasizes his character's loneliness, and one to actually film the video with an Alexa camera.{{cite web|url=https://www.shots.net/news/view/drones-light-the-scottish-sky-as-martin-garrix-launches-scared-to-be-lonely-visual|title=Drones Light The Scottish Sky As Martin Garrix Launches 'Scared To Be Lonely' Visual|publisher=Shots.com|date=14 February 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201122172442/https://www.shots.net/news/view/drones-light-the-scottish-sky-as-martin-garrix-launches-scared-to-be-lonely-visual|archive-date=22 November 2020}}

The video was filmed over the course of two days, and includes non-actor cast members. The meaning behind it comes from the moments in which a partner contemplates staying in a relationship or leaving.{{cite web|url=https://www.youredm.com/2017/02/17/go-behind-the-scenes-of-martin-garrixs-scared-to-be-lonely-music-video/|title=Go Behind The Scenes of Martin Garrix's 'Scared To Be Lonely' Music Video|website=Your EDM|last=Rubinstein|first=Peter|date=17 February 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190706051937/https://www.youredm.com/2017/02/17/go-behind-the-scenes-of-martin-garrixs-scared-to-be-lonely-music-video/|archive-date=6 July 2019}} The video features Garrix wandering around the landscape while reminiscing about past relationships. The past and present are distinguished between aspect ratios, with the past containing scenes of Garrix accompanied by partners in a bedroom, a steamy shower, and a car. While all this is happening, Lipa sings in a dark forest with a bright light behind her. The visual closes with Garrix looking at the floor in a house, before someone touches his shoulder and he turns around.{{cite web|url=https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/02/20/martin-garrix-ft-dua-lipa-scared-be-lonely-blake-claridge/46263|title=Martin Garrix ft Dua Lipa 'Scared To Be Lonely' by Blake Claridge|website=Promonews|last=Bather|first=Luke|date=20 February 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://archive.today/20201031161703/https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/02/20/martin-garrix-ft-dua-lipa-scared-be-lonely-blake-claridge/46263|archive-date=31 October 2020}} A Jake Jelicich-directed music video for the song's acoustic version was released on 7 April 2017.

Remixes

"Scared to Be Lonely" has been accompanied by several remixes. Two remix EPs were released, one on 17 March 2017 and the other a week later.

Alpharock's remix is a drum and bass track with beats of the same genre, and an increased tempo. The tech house remix by Funkin Matt introduces "catchy" bass stabs and subtle melodies. Julien Earle's remix was described as an "emotional" house rendition.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/martin-garrix-dua-lipa-scared-to-be-lonely-remixes-7728586/|title=Martin Garrix Unleashed Six Official 'Scared to be Lonely' Remixes: Listen|magazine=Billboard|last=Bein|first=Kat|date=17 March 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|archive-date=14 January 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220114141019/https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/martin-garrix-dua-lipa-scared-to-be-lonely-remixes-7728586/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://weraveyou.com/2017/03/martin-garrix-feat-dua-lipa-scared-lonely-remixes-vol-1/|title=Martin Garrix feat.

An acoustic version of the song was released on 6 April 2020. It features an orchestra, strings, and percussive instruments, while Garrix plays the song's melody on an electric guitar. Lipa had wanted to do an acoustic version for a while, and her vocals are the forefront. The staff of Dancing Astronaut thought that the track shows Garrix's "true versatility" and "artistic abilities," while Myles Tanzer of The Fader commended the "gorgeous" string section.{{cite web|url=https://dancingastronaut.com/2017/04/watch-martin-garrix-dua-lipa-perform-scared-lonely-full-orchestra/|title=Watch Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa perform with a full orchestra|website=Dancing Astronaut|date=7 April 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808100716/https://dancingastronaut.com/2017/04/watch-martin-garrix-dua-lipa-perform-scared-lonely-full-orchestra/|archive-date=8 August 2020}}{{cite web|url=https://www.thefader.com/2017/04/07/dua-lipa-martin-garrix-scared-to-be-lonely-acoustic|title=Dua Lipa And Martin Garrix Get Back To Basics With Acoustic Version Of 'Scared To Be Lonely'|website=The Fader|last=Tanzer|first=Myles|date=7 April 2017|access-date=22 November 2020|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191129042740/https://www.thefader.com/2017/04/07/dua-lipa-martin-garrix-scared-to-be-lonely-acoustic|archive-date=29 November 2019}}
