Lonely If You Are

Chase Rice has made it clear to the object of his affections that he likes her and will drop anything to spend time with her. It could be AM or PM It could be middle of the week or the weekend, baby It ain't too late or too far Just call me 'cause I'm lonely if you are Rice will be ready any time she decides she's ready for romance.

The country star appeared on the January 27, 2020 episode of The Bachelor, performing a private concert for bachelor Peter Weber and his date, Victoria Fuller. It later emerged that Rice and Fuller had previously had a relationship. Speaking to Taste of Country, the country star explained he was just as shocked as the two contestants, adding that he didn't pen "Lonely If You Are" about Fuller. "I didn't write that to try to get on the show," he said. "I just thought it was a cool picture. My ex-girlfriend, who a lot of these songs are about, loved The Bachelor and watched it religiously. I always sat there and was like, 'This is ridiculous.' But when she was watching with her girls, it's like... it's kind of that story. It's like, 'Once it's over, come hit me up.'"

Chase Rice recorded the song for The Album Part I. A good portion of the tracks on the record were inspired by a woman the singer dated for 18 months. "It was the best relationship I have ever been in," he told American Songwriter. "The worst part is that she didn't do anything wrong and I didn't do anything wrong. It was just timing. It just didn't work out, for now. Who knows? It may come back around."
