“Supalonely” is the third single from the EP, STELLA & STEVE. The song gained popularity in March 2020, after it went viral on TikTok.
The song was written during a trip to Los Angeles, following a break-up that inspired BENEE to write “Supalonely” and “Blu”. She explained the song’s sound to i-D in February 2020:
"Sometimes when you’re sad you’re just like, ugh, get over it! I think when I listen to music like “Supalonely” where it’s making fun of the feeling of being sad, in a way it kind of makes me feel good in a very weird way. When I hear “Supalonely” now and when I perform it I feel happy."
During Elton John’s Rocket Hour radio show on Apple Music in March 2020, he expressed his love for the song, inviting BENEE to join him on-air. In an Instagram post Elton said:
"Supalonely by @beneemusic is my top tip for the next global smash. Love her and her music. #NewZealandRocks"
Upon the release of STELLA & STEVE NZ Music posted an announcement article that featured statements from both BENEE and Gus.
BENEE: This one is a super self-deprecating song where I just take the piss out of myself being sad haaaa! Then BOOM, Gus Dapperton drops a twist at the end with his funky lil verse.
Gus: I loved the beat and BENEE’s vocals! The concept was highly relatable to me on the other side of the spectrum, as being someone who likes to go out more often than not. It was natural and awfully fun to write to <3.
