The song "Drink Alone" by Justin Jesso is about moving on from a past relationship. The lyrics express the desire to not be alone and to distract oneself from thoughts of the past by going out and dancing with someone new. The narrator doesn't want to think too much about the pain of missing their ex-partner, and even smashes their phone to avoid looking at pictures of them. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the narrator doesn't want to drink alone and wants to find someone new to be with. The song suggests that sometimes it's easier to cope with heartbreak by distracting oneself and surrounding oneself with new people and experiences. Despite the temptation to find someone who looks like the ex-partner, the lyrics acknowledge that this is just a temporary solution and the painful truth must eventually be faced. Ultimately, the song presents a message of resilience and the importance of moving on and finding new joy after a difficult breakup.
