Tom Grennan has released a new single called You Are Not Alone.
Written by Grennan, Mike Needle, and Jamie Scott, the introspective piano-based ballad will appear on the singer-songwriter's third studio album, 'What Ifs & Maybes', which is expected to arrive in 2023. Announcing the song online, Grennan wrote:
"Alright everyone,
"How are you? Bit cold out there!
"I want to talk to you about my new song. It’s called You Are Not Alone. I can’t sum it up in a quote, so I want to talk to you about it directly.
"This isn’t just another single to me, it's far more than that. This is the most personal song I have ever written. I want these lyrics to help other people as much as writing them has helped me. I’ve been open and raw in songs before, but when this song started pouring out of me, it was different.
"You Are Not Alone is a song about kindness, and for anyone who has ever been made to feel alone.
"It’s no secret, for a long time I’ve had to work on my own mental health and I continue to do so daily. It’s been a tough few years for everyone - through the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis, and when I talk to my friends, everyone’s mental health seems to be suffering. It’s been rough!
"I'm in a position I never thought I would be in, so I want to use my platform to give back, raise awareness, and start a movement of kindness. I’ve decided to kick off my own “giving back” mission this winter, not giving of materialistic things, but connecting with people and giving something back. Support, kindness & love.
"Whilst Christmas can be a happy time for many, it can also be a time when people feel a deep sense of loneliness, and I hope this song talks to that feeling and gives you that warm hug you might need right now.
"Now, more than ever, we need to look after each other and look after ourselves.
"I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If it helps just one person or millions, I’ll be a happy Tom!
"Merry Christmas, and please remember - You Are Not Alone. Love, Tom x"
