Never Be Alone was written and performed by Shadrow, a musician known for fan songs based on video games, as a tribute to Five Nights at Freddy's 4, released in 2015. Shared through music videos and lyric uploads online, the track became a staple in the FNAF fandom for montages and animated stories. Unlike a harsh FNAF jumpscare scream moment, the song is remembered for its quiet, sorrowful tone, which helped it stay popular in edits long after the game's original release period.
