"Already Gone" is a song recorded by Australian singer and songwriter Taylor Henderson for his second studio album, Burnt Letters. Released as the second single from the album on 20 June 2014, it was written by Henderson, Louis Schoorl and Alex Hope and produced by Schoorl. The song's development was motivated by the fact that Henderson wanted to write a song about being away from home and missing his loved ones. Lyrically, "Already Gone" finds Henderson being torn "between living his musical dreams and pining for the simple way things used to be."^[2]

"Already Gone" received a positive reception from various publications, who complimented the production and Henderson's vocals. Upon its release, "Already Gone" debuted at number 42 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Lawrence Lim and features Henderson in a recording studio and in his apartment putting photos of his loved ones on the wall. Henderson promoted the song with performances on television programs.
