Composition

"Lonely Lullaby" is an emo-influenced ballad^{[citation needed]} 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]
