The song is about a male who is heartbroken, but claims that he "won't be lonely long" once he goes to a bar and parties with his friends.

Critical reception

Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave it 3½ stars out of 5. He contrasted it with Dierks Bentley's "How Am I Doin'", saying that it lacked that song's "sharp tongued wit", but said that it was "still an infectious listen that’s not over-produced, has a sound beat, and will be a welcomed sing along".{{cite web|url=http://www.roughstock.com/blog/josh-thompson-won-t-be-lonely-long-single|title='Won't Be Lonely Long' review|last=Ward|first=Kyle|date=5 November 2010|work=Roughstock|accessdate=7 September 2012}}
