Feeling disconnected while standing right next to someone is a quiet kind of heartbreak, and Rallo Bennett captures that tension with striking clarity on her new single, “Lonely With You.” Released as her second track of 2025, the song doesn’t chase tidy conclusions. Instead, it sits inside the discomfort of undefined relationships, the kind that blur emotional lines and leave more questions than answers. That emotional nucleus is amplified visually through an ambitious music video filmed at NYC’s The Vessel, where a collective of performers transforms private uncertainty into a shared, communal experience.
At the core of the song is a single, piercing question: “Should I feel lonely with you?” It arrived early in the writing process and became the track’s emotional compass. Bennett resists the urge to resolve it, allowing the lyric to function as an open mirror for listeners navigating their own complicated bonds. The power of Lonely With You lies not in offering solutions, but in validating the act of asking the question out loud and realizing you’re not alone in it.
Sonically, the track thrives in contrast. It is scrappy, joyful indie rock laced with equal parts ache and attitude, refusing to settle into one emotional register. The verses carry grit and tension, written to find poetry inside uncertainty rather than explain it away. When the chorus hits, the song lifts, opening into a sing-along release that feels earned rather than forced. That shift is the moment the track exhales.
The song’s dynamic energy is anchored by a close-knit group of collaborators. Graham Orbe’s bass and Liam Kerekes’ drums add propulsion and looseness, helping the track feel alive rather than over-polished. Co-written and arranged with Kevin Spencer Kendrick, the song balances lyrical weight with melodic freedom, allowing doubt and defiance to coexist without canceling each other out.
Bennett imagines Lonely With You living in moments of transition. Played loud in the car before a nerve-wracking event, or quietly after a relationship setback when clarity feels just out of reach. It’s built to carry listeners through that emotional in-between, where vulnerability hasn’t yet turned into resolve, but hope is still flickering.
As both a filmmaker and musician, Bennett approaches each release as part of a larger creative ecosystem, where lyrics feel scripted and songs unfold cinematically. With more music, live performances, and visual projects on the horizon, Lonely With You stands as a defining chapter. Not because it answers the question it asks, but because it proves that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is ask it together.
