"Never Felt So Alone" is a song by British singer-songwriter Labrinth featuring uncredited vocals from American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish.[2] It was featured in the second season of Euphoria on HBO. It was released with a music video by Columbia Records as the second single from Labrinth's third studio album, Ends & Begins, on 7 April 2023.[3]

The song received a nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.

Background and release

"Never Felt So Alone" was featured throughout both the first and second season of HBO teen drama Euphoria, for which Labrinth composes the score and soundtrack.[2][4][5] However, it was not released as part of the accompanying soundtrack album.[6] In December 2022, Labrinth joined Billie Eilish during her concert at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles to perform the song, alongside "Mount Everest", which also featured in the season 2 soundtrack.[7][8][9]

Labrinth began teasing the release of the song via social media at the end of March 2023.[10] Following a teaser video, also posted by Labrinth, fans speculated that Eilish would be featured on the track, though no official confirmation was made.[1] The song, featuring uncredited vocals from Eilish, and a music video, starring both artists, were released on 7 April 2023.[9] Shortly after its release, Eilish joined Labrinth for a live performance at the 2023 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[11]
