About the song
“All By Myself” by Alok, Sigala, Ellie Goulding is an empowering anthem about finding strength within. The lyrics tell the story of someone who’s been hurt, judged, and surrounded by the wrong people, but instead of breaking, they choose to rise on their own. It’s about letting go of fake friends, outside opinions, and the pressure to fit in, and instead embracing self-love and independence.
The song celebrates the idea of being your own motivation. Rather than waiting for others to lift them up, the person decides to rely on themselves, moving forward with confidence. Even if others call it selfish, the message is clear — choosing yourself isn’t weakness, it’s strength.
At its heart, the track is about freedom. It shows how powerful it can be to step away from what holds you back and finally live for yourself. It’s uplifting, bold, and a reminder that sometimes the best love you can give is the love you give to you.
Lyrics
I lost my own belief
Always somethin’ breakin’ me, was overcome
Walkin’ these lonely streets
Even in good company, I want to run
But now I’m embracin’ the way I am
I don’t need nobody to hold my hand
I’m doin’ it, doin’ it all by myself
I’m movin’ it, movin’ it all by myself
I’ll be my own motivation
I’ll listen to nothin’ they’re sayin’
I’m lovin’ me, lovin’ me all by myself
All by myself
All by myself, myself
All by mys-
They turned the best of me into my insecurities
They shout so loud
No parties with fake friends
I never wanna blend into the crowd
No more goin’ places I don’t belong
They’re gonna say I’m selfish, but I’m just strong
I’m doin’ it, doin’ it all by myself
I’m movin’ it, movin’ it all by myself
I’ll be my own motivation
I’ll listen to nothin’ they’re sayin’
I’m lovin’ me, lovin’ me all by myself
All by myself
All by my-my-my
All by myself, myself
No more goin’ places I don’t belong
You can say I’m selfish, but I’m just strong
And now I’m breakin’ free from what they wanted me to be
And I’m me, finally, oh-oh
I’m doin’ it, doin’ it all by myself-self-self
All by myself-self-self-self
I’ll be my own motivation
I’ll listen to nothin’ they’re sayin’
I’m lovin’ me, lovin’ me all by myself
All by myself, myself
All by myself
All by my-my-my
All by myself, myself
All by myself
