"I'm a Loner" (외톨이야; Oetoriya) is a song by South Korean pop-rock idol band CNBLUE. It is the debut and lead single to the band's first mini-album Bluetory. Written by Han Seong-ho and Amen, the funk-rock track was released under FNC Music on January 14, 2010. Upon its release, CNBLUE achieved immediate commercial success; the song earned the band its first two music show wins on Korean Broadcasting System's (KBS) Music Bank and Seoul Broadcasting System's (SBS) Inkigayo. Unprecedented at the time, CNBLUE held the record for shortest period between debuting and earning a music show win for four and a half years. The song also peaked at number two on the Gaon Digital Chart.
The composers Kim Do-hoon and Lee Sang-ho faced a lawsuit filed by indie rock band Ynot? two months after the release of "I'm a Loner". The band accused the two of plagiarizing one of its songs; a judge would later dismiss the charges.
