"You Won't Be Lonely Now" is a song written by Brett James and John Bettis, and recorded by American country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus. It was released in May 2000 as the first single from the album Southern Rain. The power ballad debuted at number 62 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs chart) on July 8, 2000. It was the first of five singles released from the album, as well as the highest-charting single, peaking in the Top 20.

"You Won't Be Lonely Now" was Cyrus' last Top 40 country hit until 2007, when "Ready, Set, Don't Go" reached number 4.

Critical reception

William Ruhlmann of Allmusic said that the song "properly displayed the artist's sense of determination against adversity, cloaked in the terms of a love song."[1] Billboard gave the song a rave review, writing that it "could - and should be - the turning point in Cyrus' career that gets him back on the hit track."[2]

Music video

The music video was directed by Jim Shea and premiered in June 2000.[3] It was filmed on Jekyll Island.[4]
