"Learn to Be Lonely" is a song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart for the 2004 film adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera.
[1] The song is performed by Minnie Driver during the closing credits and is found on the film's soundtrack.
Another song using the melody of Learn to be Lonely entitled No One Would Listen (also with lyrics by Hart) was originally included in the film, to be sung by Gerard Butler (The Phantom), but was ultimately cut.
Beyoncé performed the song at the 2005 Oscars[3] (she performed all of that year's nominees for Best Original Song requiring female lead vocals) with Lloyd Webber accompanying on piano.
Minnie Driver performed the song during her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
