Composition

"Lonely Lullaby" is an emo-influenced ballad written and produced by Adam Young of Owl City. According to the digital sheet music published by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song was originally composed in the key of F♯ major and set in common time to a "flowing" tempo of approximately 69 BPM.[4] "Lonely Lullaby" follows a chord progression of C♯ – G♯m – F♯ – C♯ – B – F♯ and Young's vocals span from a low note of C♯4 to a high note of B5.[4] The song is a tribute to Annmarie Monson, an ex-girlfriend of Young's, who he describes as the "most wonderful, beautiful woman" he knew.[5]
