How to Be Lonely

"How to Be Lonely" is a mid-tempo ballad that deals with themes about "battling insecurity". ==Critical reception==

Mike Wass of Idolator wrote that the song is a "nice way to kick off an era" that "does showcase the 'Anywhere' singer's powerful pipes and growth as an artist". ==Music video==

In the music video, directed by Dave Meyers, Ora is in an empty room alone and then alone with a lot of people. An arrow hits her. In the next scene, she is walking in a room filled with eggshells. Then, she is dancing with a skeleton and a bear hugs her. After that, she falls into the sky. Then she smashes a wall with a baseball bat. A UFO lands. == Live performances ==

Ora performed the song live at BBC's Sport Relief 2020 telethon on 13 March. == Track listings ==
