"It's Lonely Out There" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Pam Tillis.
The song reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart in September 1996.
The song's lyrical focus is a woman conversing with an ex-lover of hers, "taunting" him by telling him to find another lover but warning him that "it's lonely out there".
[2] The song is composed in the key of A-flat major with a main chord pattern of A♭-E♭-D♭9-E♭ on the verses, and A♭-E♭-Fm-D♭9-A♭-E♭-A♭ on the chorus.
Tillis presented the idea to her then-husband Bob DiPiero, who helped her compose it on a classical guitar that was gifted to him by Neil Diamond.
