Kali Uchis "Loner" - Official Music Video
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2015
- The Colombian pop priestess shows that it’s fun to be alone in her dreamy new video
here’s something strangely calming about watching Kali Uchis dance by the jukebox, sip candy-coloured milkshakes and sing beneath the neon lights of an abandoned drive-in. Maybe it’s because her voice drifts like icing sugar over a cake, or maybe it’s because she’s completely, gloriously alone - and sometimes there is nothing more liberating. The dreamy track itself is titled "Loner" and it's all about embracing your inner loneliness. “I wanted this music video to portray a strong sense of being very grown, content alone and feeling yourself,” the Colombian-born, East Coast singer told Dazed about the stylish self-directred visual, adding: “I was inspired by mermaids, call-girls, the actress Mia Farrow, the film Scarface and the director Quentin Tarantino”

my heart almost jumped out of my chest when they played it on Euphoria... this is one of my fav songs ever
_ Enan • exactly as soon as I heard it I started singing and I didn’t care what was happening during the episode😂
This makes me want to watch it now. 🤔
@@thetexantoker9294 me too, I keep seeing "euphoria brought me here" in the comments of all these amazing songs
@@starrr365 her entire discography is 12/10
_ Enan • same here I was so hype when it played ♥️
This song helped me break off a toxic relationship. Her music really speaks
Emily Rose currently breaking off a toxic relationship 😓
Karina F good luck❤️
Emily Rose ME TOO. Her music helps me find my worth on my bad days and she gives me mad confidence. I adore her.
Currently breaking off toxic relationship too :(
Good for y'all. My ex left me too, said I was toxic and self-centered. I miss her but what can I do. It's too late
This is not pop, this is contemporary rhythm and blues.
The thing is that this song has a nostalgic sound, so it can compare with jazz or another melancholic genre.
and tad bit of r and b
I just peeped your TH-cam channel. You have interesting taste in music 🙂
it is both R&B and pop
one thing doesn't exclude the other
Hellow 👀
It's a sad story about a person who used to be so open and vulnerable , but then after being hurt so may times theyve isolated themselves. It's kinda sad to think that some introverts are introverts because of pain. But also it's kinda beautiful and freeing
Story of my life...🤗
I felt that
I'm an introvert cuz i just don't wanna be hurt again
I feel called out:0 but thats okay, being lonely is better than feeling hurt. People are the worst, but maybe i havent met the right people. All i know is that it sucks being alone, it consumes you into a dark pit where you can’t ask for help. Its also scary, knowing that nobody cares about you because you’ve shut them out and ignored them. Its not their
fault tho, its the people who’ve hurt us in the past. Its hard to move on, im trying my best. Its just so difficult:(
@@jazziechavez5841 we can do this 🙏
Is no one going to talk about how beautiful all the neon is?
daniella lopez me.i love it
I love this aesthetic with my whole heart I’m glad someone brought it up 🥺💞
euphoria vibes
This music video is top tier self expression
KALI UCHIS IS THE NEW KALI UCHIS

lyrics just made me realize some shit
Hell yea. Smh 🤦🏽♀️💯

me too girl. once my bf broke up w me, i realized how bad he was yet i still wanted him. i still do, but it cant and wont happen.
@@mybuttisitchyand2583 same here
ditch that fuckboi sis
introverts such as myself can relate to this song on a deeper level. especially when you meet that someone and then their vibes just change.
3 to 6 months later, Always.
She deserves all her recent success. Been a follower since Por Vida and not looked back since...
Look at her now🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@annabellebenge9013 WINNING!
@@annabellebenge9013 she a queen
SAME😩
I can't believe this comment was 5 years ago.
My fave line is "my mouth tastes like Horchata"
same lol
Lo peor es que es colombiana, y en Colombia se desconoce que es la "horchata".
+George Barros that doesn't mean she can't like horchata though.
Que tendrá que ver
lol me too
can't believe that im still vibing to this song in 2020 during quarantine
its soooooooo good! i will never get tired of it
it’s so nostalgic
i just found out about this song 😳
can’t believe I’m still in quarantine😩😒
21... 😭
"'Cause I was a loner until I met you
and I let you in after all the persuasion...mind games, manipulations" bro
Damn, these lyrics were pulled straight from my heart and soul
Beautiful :)
Haha when you break up with your girl or dude and this applies lol.

rabbitangel i swear
Mine too.
this song really came into my life at the perfect time
same
This comment is everything lol
Damn me too
+11livelaughluv me too im in love cant stop playin this
+11livelaughluv same, same.
I was in a really toxic relationship and stuck with my partner after she cheated on me. I was manipulated into thinking it was my fault. Lied to, etc. After I heard this song for the first time, I couldn’t stop listening to it and I realized that I’m just better off alone. Thank you Kali Uchis for helping me realize my own self worth.
In the same exact position as you were. Finally decided to cut ties with her after realizing she wasn’t going to change for the better nor respect me as how she wanted to be respected.. Stayed with her for 9 more months after she cheated 😭
Me too he hurt me so bad mentally & physically just to find out he cheated 😢I love that boy but not what he did to me
In conclusion, don't be a lesbian 😅
I remember in elementary school I would get bullied for "always being a lone" during lunch. Idk, till this day I love and embrace being introverted
same here. always been a loner, shit i remember eating my lunch alone in the bathroom sometimes.
Yup I remember sitting by myself in the hall or go to the library to be alone didn’t fw nobody or have friends & I was fine that way till this day I’m solo ✅🌌
I can relate I remember having gym in h.s and everyone sat with there friends I never had anyone to sit with so I’d just ditch and stay in the stair case till time for my next class
I mean that ain’t the point to the song LMAO
Ok a introvert like me
You, lana and SZA man, you guys are changing the game
+crissi issy aaand melanie martinez
+Luiz Gustavo Yes Melanie too
+meghan z Yasss
1 more singer names Doja cat you'd probably like her work
+triplej120 all them fr fr!!! favorite females in the game right now
If any winehouse and lady gaga had a daughter
And her voice reminds me so much of erykah badu
Its definitely lana del rey meets amy winehouse meets Yukimi Nagano (singer of Little Dragon) :)
How about its just Kalis Uchis why must artist be compared. Lady Gaga??? where do you get Lame ass Lady Gaga from Kalis?
+LIO VASQUEZ you think gaga is lame poor poor dude
i thought the same when i first saw
This song really hits different when you get tired of all of the people that are around you, when you don't feel conected and safe in this place anymore, and the saddest part is that you dont feel bad or sad about it, you just feel bored and with a lot of deception because you feel that you will never gonna be open with somebody, not because you have the fear of being hurt, just for the fact that you dont want to be know.
2024 and I hope for you that you don't feel like that anymore, blessings 😊
@@Helenaorange hi! Saddly i still feel like this in this moment, but im still standing and thinking that its ok that i never find my place
this is maddy’s song, 100%
Yeah
Who-?
Euphoria
wish she would actually leave his toxic ass for real
Except she rather be with Nate than be alone 😓
thanks Tyler the Creator for introducing me to this beautiful voice
same
agreed
+Tyco Foster same

she has such an amy winehouse influence. The way she sings at the end, reminds me of amy.
yes
coincido con vos! igual las 2 hermosas voces❤
yesss I love it
WEST COAST AMY WINEHOUSE!!!!!!
OMG YESSSSSSS
This is srsly why i cant get into relationships 😂 being alone is much better
AGREED...IM WITH YOU
You missed the point of the song then. She is saying it is better to be alone than to be in a bad relationship.
I am sorry if all your relationships are bad, but that also means you are 50% of the problem.
Being alone is not much better, in the long run, it will get to you. There is someone out there who is right for you so don’t give up.
Honestly tho
Ź
this song helped me get out of a toxic relationship im also pretty sure more people have been affected positively just by listening to this. the lyrics are deep. if you are in a toxic relationship i strongly advise you really sit back and listen to the song. 💖
Truth :>
This song made me put my earphones in even though I have an ear infection
😄
Nikki Solvang OMG....the sameee ja
Gorgeous lips you have.
Lmao 😂
ms nikki **earbuds
this is the type of shit to turn up to when he wont text back
Call him
And be done with it
YAS
omg forreals
You dont text back wym
this is the type of shit to turn up, she wont text back :(
So proud of how far she's come, I used to listen to this in high school and now I'm a grown ass adult 😭
and now she's an icon
I know it's such a weird feeling! time flies
30 seconds into this video & I'm already planning to dye my hair pink
Mars, the Bunny same sis
update: I did it and regretted it week after :)
Daria Daria so did I 😂😂😂😂the damage wasn’t not worth it
Lol
Same though
This is why you should always give new music a chance. Amazing find
There always good new music. The problem is that the mob demands mediocrity, so the most popular shit is always mediocre. That's why radio is like 99% shit.
Yassss
your so right lena aka babe
ever heard of amy winehouse
going threw a break up n her music just takes me away from reality , i love it. thank you for your existence.
Adriana Valdivia damn Guapa how u doing now
it does help. im dealing with a break up at the moment.
his/her loss...
really does
Adriana Valdivia same
This song honestly breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Every fucking time!!
"And maybe u got a full plate. Know I'm cooking something better. But if u don't want me now, no, boy, I don't want u later- don't try to come and eat with me." I'm in love with this girl and I'm gay.
Right??
I don't want to be your cigarette
I don't want to be your ashtray
I don't want to be your door mat
Don't want to be ignored
All o' sudden you're not into me
And maybe it's not deliberate
And I know you never asked me
I just gotta put it out there
I don't put myself out there
Usually I stay tucked away
Cause I was a loner until I met you
And I let you in after all the persuasion
Mind games, manipulations
[Hook:]
That's why I'd rather be a loner
Yeah I'd rather be alone
I don't even want to know ya
I don't want to be known
Cause I'd rather be a loner
I'd much rather be alone
Baby it was nice to know ya
Packing up and leaving home
No I don't want to be your cigarette
Use me up then toss me, step on me
I don't want to be an option
Avoidin' interaction cause
I just want to get away
And maybe you got a full plate
Know I'm cookin' something better
But if you don't want me now
No boy I don't want you later
Don't try to come and eat with me
Cause I was a loner until I met you
And I let you in after all the persuasion
Headaches and allegations
[Hook]

i always thought she said all of a sudden you’re not intimate because of deliberate in the following line
Thank u

This woman is something else... She has more than looks, a beautiful voice and aura that is completely captivating... I'm infatuated. 😍
I agree!
Omg I feel you!!
I discovered this song when I was about 13 and had no friends, I was bullied and outcasted to the point where even the teachers were in on it, and just all around didn’t wanna live or exist at all… I’d listen to this song all the time just to make the days go by. I’m now 19 and happier than ever with friends who are like family and a bf who adores me as much as I do him, and looking back it’s crazy how much life changes
you deserve it. all that pain you went through.. so sorry hon ❤
In the beginning when the intro comes and says “The dream is always the same but I keep fulfilling the script ; driving on a dark dessert highway ;my mouth tastes like horchata,I’ve been here almost every night” What if this resembles and addiction “The dream is always the same” hence the repeating of the addiction and how it is always the same and although it can be dark and scary “dark dessert highway” ,still decides to drive because at the end she reaches the colorful destination hence the “high” of the addiction “relationship,person,substance ,” anything …Just my perspective ,I luv the whole video
The aesthetics alone... Wow
Something about her gives off a Amy feel, I love it.
Lana Del Slay my thoughts exactly
Lana Del Slay my thoughts exactly
Lana Del Slay THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Lana Del Slay Please love Neon Hitch too
Ahyana Vega as if you were
this goes to all the people that say "damn you have it all, how can you still be single" just because youre pretty young and successful doesnt mean you trust people, so i thank her for putting into perspective, alone, pretty and got shit going but would rather be ALONE ANYWAYS
Yessss
this was so sick im so glad shes finally getting the love she deserves
So, this song's basically an ode to introverts ✨
XxxMuseluverxxX it’s about standards but ok
how about its a about both :)
Sharp as cue ball 😂
Nah, it is about knowing it is better to be alone than with someone who doesnt treat you right.
@@CSClark272 Yes, but she's singing about it through her introverted perspective - in fact, she wrote a note that it was for introverted people like her, and the lyrics say it too ("I don't put myself out there / Usually, I stay tucked away...").
this entire video is so aesthetically pleasing, tbh
miss old kali
This is hard as shit. You don’t have to have crazy bass just have something to lure the listener in
"I just gotta put it out there I don't put myself out there, usually I stay tucked away." 🙌🏾
I HAVE A PROBLEM: I AM OBSESSED.
This is helping me break away from a toxic marriage
any marriage is toxic😉😜
Still my fave Kali Uchis song till this day
'Loner' and 'Know What I Want' are some of the best two songs from her catalogue so far.
check out "speed", you won't regret it:-)
Um honey baby is supreme
Her WHOLE Por Vida Album is amazing 💘
At the end of a love affair - billie holiday
+Roberto Lopez i'm personally in love with her mixtape 'drunken babble' always brings me up
The monologue at the beginning sounds like something straight outta Kingdom Hearts
she needs to do audio books....or just a podcast, her voice is hypnotic
this song planted a seed in my mind to break up with my boyfriend a while ago, was the best decision ever in my life, girrl, if you're already considering, do it, be the queen of your own story
I STARTED LISTENING TO HER INDIVIDUALLY AFTER I SAW PICTURES OF THIS VIDEO ON TUMBLR
BUT THEN I LEARNT SHE HAS A SONG WITH TYLER THE CREATOR AND I LOVE HER EVEN MORE
BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
same, lol
She also has a song with snoop dogg
Snoop Dogg is trash bruva
+Mabel Tesfaye not everyone likes what you like
The lyrics are so powerful and they relate to me so much. I'm tired of boys leading me on and walking all over me then end up dating someone else. I want to feel special to someone but at the same time I give up and "i'd rather be a loner" and be on my own. this song gives me mixed emotions but I love it & I know you'll blow up this year I expect to see you at the vma's or something
girl you was right she won a bunch of awards since 😭
Still playing this in 2024, so proud of how far she's come
This song always makes me want to cry 😢 it’s so sad when all you want is to love someone and give them your all & they disappoint you . Id much rather be alone 💔
#1 song on the "in my feelings" playlist.
Her aesthetic is everything
"I don't even wanna know ya, I don't wanna be known" such a good lyric.
This song really made me comfortable with just being with myself than with people that aren’t worth my time.
Before, I'd relate to "Melting" and "Lottery" when I missed you. But now when I think of you I think of this.
I dont think shes comparable to anyone musically speaking, but her style and attitude reminds me of Amy and her affection and sincerity resembles Selena's to me
yes. she cant be compared to other artists in my opinion because her style is nothing like anything out there. shes very unique and on her own level
Lol. This is my generation too. Once again its my opinion.
i completely agree with you! her voice and music is so fresh and one of a kind.
Now I want an horchata!!! And I want to see her in concert!!
I looking at tickets now
To anybody here from euphoria or just because you knew Kali or maybe you stumbled onto this song by accident I love you all ❤️❤️❤️
knew her before Tyler collab... so proud that 2 of my fav artists collab'd
samee!!
same
SAME
+wazzziii ikr
same
Yaaaassssss that highlight is SLAYING ✨
amy + gaga + lana vibes, but still one of a kind.. love it.
“I’d rather be a loner” moooooooooood😩😩
SHe reminds me of one of the Hispanics in orange is the new blue
FR! Flaca
Blue lmao
Lmaooooo
I think she looKs like Dia's mom
***** it was lsd not coke
Her melodies make my body feel wavy
Story of my life. Loner Forever.
-One Love.
This song should be for all those people out there that have been messed around, treated like garbage and long term introverts.
god she is so gorgeous... you don't have to be a loner
+Jake Dempsey But she wants to.
+Marisol Gómez lol
kali uchis stands on her own. she's not a combination of people.
It’s been 3 years since my neighbor introduced me to her and I’m so glad
Con esta canción conocí a Kali Uchis haya por el 2015 o 2016 no recuerdo bien y me enamore de esta rola y de ella ! Dije porque esta chica no tiene más reconocimiento y ahora que lo está teniendo muchos años después me alegra tanto y ni imaginé que era Colombiana que orgullo de está latina. Saludos desde México 💫💫🇲🇽
Pause at 3:08,
The pink lighting in that apartment is just one of the many compositional gems in this video. I can smell the Tarantino influences throughout, but it doesn't feel like a rip off but more of a respectful homage.
+Tony Spade yeah the dancing in front of the jukebox is a clear homage to death proof
+Tony Spade It's like a beautiful Tarantino and David Lynch convination. Reminds me a bit of Mullholand Drive
The aesthetics!!!
I need the "beat it creep" shirt
+ladylaurenia it's from valfre
Babygirl x bless u
but why is it 50 dollars im gonna make the damn thing myself
okay idc.
I miss this old Kali 🥴🥰🥰🥰💘
❤
This song is giving me a powerful feeling
I love Horchaattttaaaaaa and the way she says it 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Sexiest thing ever tbh
I was thinking the same thing! 😍
the way she says it? you mean the correct way?
im literally crying this is so beautiful and kali is so perfect
I filmed a Kali Uchis makeup tutorial... any support from you would be greatly appreciated! :)
For reeal!
As if this is almost 5 years old. I remember hearing this when the video came out. Kali has been my favourite artist since I saw this, her music has been with me and meant so much over the past 4 years and has resonated on so many levels. Isolation is my favourite album, every song I understood. I love her creativity, I can't wait for her new album, even though it's not going to be in English it wont even matter 💞 sorry for being long winded lol but I have so much love and respect for her
Still come back to this song after all these years - timeless and always moves me

This chick will be the next big thing. I swear...
I just discovered her wow she is so fucking talented and I went back to her music 8 years ago when I was 20 and I'm 28 and I'm just finding out about here wtf have I been living under a rock
Same here bro. I’m a 37 year old male and I fucks with her. She is an amazing talent that crosses both male and female spectrums through her songs. It just hits the soul right and very few artists can touch the human soul through their lyrics, but she is definitely one of a kind.
her voice is so soothing
she's a weird kind of beautiful
A very unique beautiful presence to her like she's not the most beautiful girl out there but she's so alluring
MimisaurasRex exactly, i would prefer her over any victoria secret model actually.
She is extremely classically beautiful. The only thing "weird" is her hair color in this video
Engelberg Munoz um wtf are you blind???!!?
Engelberg Munoz what she looks fine
who else love that lil hip roll at 2:48
Quentin Gant ✋
BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I was literally looking for a comment like this.
Quentin Gant 100% agreed.
Me ❤❤
euphoria playing this song during that scene with maddy and nate couldn’t have been any more perfect
this era of Kali will always b my fave
The dream is always the same.
Like a printed narrative,
I know what's about to happen next.
But I keep on going through the motions,
Fulfilling the script.
I'm driving on a dark dessert highway,
And the air smells like gasoline.
My mouth tastes like horchata.
Can't remember how long I've been driving,
But I know what happens when I get there.
I've been here almost every night.
Lili Castillo pasada de lanza 💙
what does the intro mean exactly ?
a
Translation: she keeps meeting the same guys/person just in different bodies and they keep treating her the same and doing the same awful things that just makes her want to be alone.
I actually listen to this song most nights before going to bed because it's so mellow. Glad it has a video now
Que nostalgia. Eu ouvia isso há anos quando tava conhecendo o meu namorado… hoje a gente tá ouvindo na nossa casa. Olha onde a Kali chegou caralho!!!!! Te amo, Deusa.
Euphoria brought me here. My current relationship made me stay.
Was this song on that show?🤔
@@undergroundlady5892 Yes. Right when Maddy realized her relationship with Nate was abusive while dancing with him.
why can't this be on Spotify 😣 its been stuck in my head Like EVERYDAY ❤
iPhone or galaxy
+HALEY matulich Download. Import. Done.
She has a soundcloud
+HALEY matulich aTubecather, everything from youtube, you download, for free, always

I'm feeling a touch of Amy Winehouse here, great vibes
