"Alone Time" is a song by Rufus Wainwright, appearing as the twelfth and final track on his studio album Unfollow the Rules.

"[2] Wainwright has described the track as "an old-school record that attempts to take the listener on a rich journey through the myriad experiences of this thing we call 'life'".

Wainwright said, "But today, in these dark times, I'm thinking a lot about the thousands of people who, due to COVID-19, are forced to experience intense isolation at the end of their days in order to save others, and the incredible fear that that must entail.

This track is humbly dedicated to them; it is a wish of hope and a prayer for grace that they feel some sense of joy and comfort in knowing they are performing such an incredible act of sacrifice for humanity.

"[3] According to Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette, the song has also been dedicated specifically to "the many seniors around the world who are dying alone in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis".
