Eli Young Band wonders "What Do Lonely People Do"

Friday, January 17, 2025 – Eli Young Band return with the tender "What Do Lonely People Do" today via Big Valory Music.

Written by lead singer Mike Eli and Jeffrey East, the song captures the eternal hope of mending a broken heart along with the swirl of uncertainty in a mid-life romantic restart.

"It really is one of my favorite songs that I've written in a long time, but because my wife and I have been married for many, many years now and have an incredible marriage, I had to dig deep for it," he said. "Basically, I don't know what I would do if I had to jump into the dating pool again. I wouldn't even know where to start. For me it's like, 'That is not a choice,' so I wanted to find a way to capture a person like that. Someone walking away from a relationship and the focus is really on 'How do I do this?'

"It's a really sad story, and it made me feel for anyone that has to go through that," Eli said. "But to get there, I had to really dig into how I felt in the past when I was younger and my heart had been broken."

"What Do Lonely People Do" follows the 2024 release of "I'm Yours Amen" and "Home In Hometown."

The band consists of Young, Eli, Jon Jones and Chris Thompson start a fresh chapter.

This is the first of a series of songs being released this year. The band recorded at Panhandle House Studio in their hometown of Denton, Texas.
