The story behind the song

"Alone" captures the raw longing for connection, the feeling of being in the dark, watching time pass, and hoping for a moment that won't end. It's about that intense desire to finally be with someone, to get them "alone" and share a deep, singular moment. Though originally written and recorded by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly for their 1983 album Taking a Cold Look, Heart's powerful rock ballad version for their 1987 album Bad Animals brought its emotional depth to a wider audience. At its heart, it's a song about the universal ache for intimacy and the hope for a shared, private world.
