All By Myself was originally released by American singer-songwriter Eric Carmen in 1975, and it reached a new generation through Celine Dion's powerful 1996 cover, which became one of her signature performances. The chorus, with its long sustained notes and orchestral build, made the song a natural shorthand for heartbreak and solitude. Online, short clips have been reused in edits, reaction videos and social posts to underline a lonely punchline, and that simple, instantly recognisable emotion is why the sound keeps appearing years after both recordings.
