"Lonely Hearts" is a song by American R&B singer and songwriter JoJo. It was released April 24, 2020, as the first promotional single from JoJo's fourth studio album, Good to Know (2020). The song was written by JoJo, Elizabeth Lowell Boland, Martin McKinney, Merna Bishouty and Dylan Wiggins, while the latter handled the song's production alongside Doc McKinney and Merna Bishouty vocally producing the song. Lyrically the song is a story of self-improvement and self love for people who struggle with codependency.
The song received positive reviews from contemporary music critics, with many praising its sound similar to JoJo's second mixtape Agápē (2012). The song's accompanying music video was shot in director Zelda Williams' front yard while in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic against a white bed sheet backdrop. The video premiered on JoJo's official YouTube channel on April 27, 2020. A remix featuring Demi Lovato was released on August 28, 2020, as part of the deluxe edition of Good to Know.[1]
