Wikipedia article




"'It's Lonely Out There'" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Pam Tillis. It was released in May 1996 as the third single from her album 'All of This Love'. The song reached number 14 on the 'Billboard' Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in September 1996. Tillis wrote the song with her then-husband, Bob DiPiero.

Content



The song's lyrical focus is a woman conversing with an ex-lover of hers, "taunting" him by telling him to find another lover but warning him that "it's lonely out there".

Background



The song is composed in the key of A-flat major with a main chord pattern of A-E-D9-E on the verses, and A-E-Fm-D9-A-E-A on the chorus. Tillis presented the idea to her then-husband Bob DiPiero, who helped her compose it on a classical guitar that was gifted to him by Neil Diamond. According to Tillis, DiPiero had "pretty much written it" when she took a nap, and then when she woke up with the song "I Can See Clearly Now" in her head, the two decided to give the song a similar sound.
