"Lonely Cactus" is a song by Australian singer Dami Im and released on 19 February 2021[1] as the fifth single from Im's sixth studio album, My Reality (2021). The song did not enter the ARIA top 100, but debuted at number 5 on the Australian Independent chart.[2]
Im wrote the song in 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia admitting "There were days when I felt lonely. I needed to make friends or see my friends. Other days I just wanted to be alone."[3][4] In an interview with Hope Breakfast, Im said "Initially I wrote it as I'm a lonely cactus. I was in lockdown with [husband] Noah, and I wanted to socialise again and find connection, but when things opened up and I was going to catch up with friends, I couldn't be bothered. I wanted to be by myself. I love being by myself, and I had gotten so used to that and eventually we changed the lyrics to 'you’re a lonely cactus' because it was just easier to write about someone else."[5]
A piano version was released on 30 April 2021.[6]
