LOS ANGELES - Pada 16 Oktober 2020, Justin Bieber merilis video klip lagu terbarunya, Lonely. Kurang dari 24 jam, lagu yang mengisahkan masa lalu dan kesepian yang dirasakan suami Hailey Baldwin itu berhasil mendulang 8 juta penonton.
Dalam video klip Lonely, karakter Bieber yang identik dengan hoodie ungu dan potongan rambut berponi di tahun 2009 diperankan oleh remaja berusia 14 tahun bernama Jacob Tremblay.
Tremblay terlihat duduk di ruang ganti sebelum akhirnya produser Benny Blanco mempersilakannya untuk naik ke atas panggung. Dia kemudian mulai menyanyikan lagu Lonely di tengah auditorium tanpa penonton.
Sekitar 10 detik sebelum video klip itu berakhir, video klip Lonely menyorot Justin Bieber yang ternyata menonton penampilan Tremblay. “Dan mungkin, ini harga yang harus kau bayar untuk uang dan popularitas di usia dini,” ujarnya dalam lagu itu.

[Intro]
F Em Am
[Verse 1]
F
Everybody knows my name now
Em
But something 'bout it still feels strange
Am
Like looking in the mirror
Tryna steady yourself and seeing somebody else
F
And everything is not the same now
Em
It feels like all our lives have changed
Am
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down
But it's killing me now

F
Everybody knows my past now
Em
Like my house was always made of glass

And maybe that's the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age

And everybody saw me sick
Em
And it felt like no one gave a shit
Am
They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid
