"Alone in This World" is a song by American singer Faith Evans. It was written by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, Mechalie Jamison, Michael Carlos Jones, Jack Knight, Herbert Magidson, Mario Winans, and Allie Wrubel for her third studio album Faithfully (2001). Production was helmed by Combs and Winans. The son contains a sample from "Who Shot Ya?" (1995) by American rapper The Notorious B.I.G. Diddy. Due to the inclusion of the sample, several other writers are credited as songwriters. The song was released as the album's fourth and final single in April 2002 and reached number 73 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Rapper Jay-Z appeared on a remix version of the song.[1]

Critical reception

BBC Music's Keysha Davis found that "this moody track provides the perfect accompaniment to Faith's raspy, vocals, as she echoes the bewilderment of a lover gone astray, leaving her to fend for herself in this world."[2] NME wrote that "opener "Alone in This World" is a tight Eve-esque number,"[3] Tracey E. Hopkins from Rolling Stone called the song "dance-floor ready."[4]
