"Only the Lonely" is the first and only single of 1989 from the British band T'Pau.

The single was the third and final single from the band's second album "Rage". This single would also be the band's last until 1991's "Whenever You Need Me".

Despite the previous 1988 single "Road to Our Dream" only peaking at #42,[1] "Only the Lonely" peaked at #28 in the UK for a total of six weeks, becoming the band's second to last top #40 single.[2]

A promotional video was created for the single.[3] T'Pau also performing the song on a number of UK TV shows including the Saturday Morning UK TV show Going Live,[4] Top of the Pops,[5] WMV,[6] Daytime Live[7] and The Hippodrome Show.[8]

A limited edition gatefold 7" vinyl single was also released which included an exclusive booklet.[9][10]

"Only the Lonely" was written by rhythm guitarist Ronnie Rogers and lead vocalist Carol Decker.[11]

The b-side for the single "Between the Lines" appeared on the "Rage" album, written by Rogers, Decker, keyboardist Michael Chetwood, bassist Paul Jackson, lead guitarist Dean Howard and drummer Tim Burgess.[12]

For the single, a remix of "Only the Lonely" was used instead of the album version, titled "Only the Lonely (Guitar Remix)". For the 12" and CD formats of the single, another remix titled "Only the Lonely (Nightmare Mix)" was added as well as bonus track titled "Downtown (Live)" which featured vocals from Rogers and was recorded live at Oxford.[13] "Downtown" was originally recorded in 1964 by Petula Clark, originally written and produced by Tony Hatch.
