Interesting facts and trivia about We're All Alone. By Songfacts®.

Dave starts off this song by reflecting on his blessings. A child of Nigerian immigrants, he now has a luxurious lifestyle collecting art, talking expensive vacations, and driving a Lamborghini with a Rolex on his wrist. Yet despite his vast wealth, the rapper is dejected and lonely. What's the point of bein' rich when your family ain't? It's like flyin' first class on a crashin' plane Dave feels uncomfortable at the thought that he is the only rich member of his family. The others, especially those back in Nigeria, are suffering because of their poverty.

During the second verse, Dave references being messaged by a young suicidal fan. The rapper tells the kid to "go see a shrink," admitting he replied to soothe his own conscience. He then talks about his poverty-stricken immigrant background and how he makes the same mistakes and sheds the same tears as everybody else. Therefore, he has more in common with his fans than the suicidal kid realizes. And because he can relate to many of the tough times his fans are enduring, he can tell them, "We're all alone in this together." Dave concludes the verse by recounting how the fan messaged back a day later, thanking the rap star for his response and that he's feeling better. Though Dave felt his replies to the kid were lackluster, he realizes God has used him to save the youngster from killing himself. This is special for him as: In 23 years, I done so much wrong But in that moment, I just felt like I had made it right

This is the opening song and title track of We're All Alone In This Together. Hans Zimmer was the source of the album title; the composer said the titular phrase to the rapper during an exchange on FaceTime.
