"Never Alone" is a song written by Gary Burr, Sarah Buxton, and Victoria Shaw and recorded by American songwriter and pianist Jim Brickman. Originally recorded with American country music singer Sara Evans on vocals for his 2006 album, Escape, it was famously re-recorded with American country pop trio Lady Antebellum for its release as a single.^[1] This latter version was released to digital retailers through Savoy Records on February 20, 2007^[2] and impacted American adult contemporary radio that spring. Lady Antebellum’s female vocalist, Hillary Scott, is sometimes credited individually alongside Lady Antebellum .^[2][3][4]

"Never Alone" is primarily a new-age song with additional influences of country and pop genres and is instrumented primarily by piano. Its lyrics discuss the idea of unconditional love and support as well as the importance of holding onto one's faith through difficult times.

The song was released to generally positive reviews, who complimented its country crossover appeal, and was a success on adult contemporary radio.^[3] It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary airplay chart in July 2007, earning Brickman his 22nd entry on the chart and 13th top-15 hit.^[5] Furthermore, the song was Lady Antebellum's first entry on a Billboard chart before their proper debut single, "Love Don't Live Here", was released in October of that year; they would later match this position with their own single, "I Run to You" in 2009 before topping the AC chart with "Need You Now" that same year.
