'All by Myself' is a pop ballad written and first recorded by Eric Carmen in 1975, later turned into a global hit by Celine Dion's 1996 cover. Its sweeping chorus became cultural shorthand for loneliness, famously soundtracking Bridget Jones's solitary wine-and-pyjamas evening in the 2001 film. The line now thrives as a meme sound: a few seconds of the chorus is enough to brand any clip as tragically, comically alone, which is why short excerpts like this one circulate on soundboards for quick comic timing.
