Wake Up Alone

Amy Winehouse

Wake Up Alone works as a r&b selection rather than an automatic party anthem. It is more likely to land with people who already know Amy Winehouse. Treat it as a performance piece, not a guaranteed group singalong.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Wake Up Alone makes sense for a singer who can handle fairly active phrasing and sell the lyric’s point of view. It has more changing verse text than repeated hook material. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
