'''All by Myself''' ist eine [[Powerballade]] des US-amerikanischen Musikers [[Eric Carmen]], erstmals veröffentlicht 1975 und seither vielfach [[Coverversion|gecovert]], so beispielsweise von [[Celine Dion]], [[Frank Sinatra]], [[Il Divo]], [[John Barrowman]] und [[Only Men Aloud!]].

Die Single war die erste Auskopplung aus Carmens erster Solo-LP (''Eric Carmen'') nach der Trennung von der [[Power Pop]]-Gruppe [[The Raspberries]]. Die Veröffentlichung im Dezember 1975 wurde von der Kritik gefeiert. Sie erreichte den zweiten Platz der [[Billboard Hot 100]] und die Spitze der ''Cash Box'' Charts (Top 100 Singles), in Kanada schaffte sie es auf Platz 3. In den Vereinigten Staaten verkaufte sich die Single mehr als eine Million mal und erhielt die goldene Schallplatte der [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]] im April 1976.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?resultpage=1&table=SEARCH_RESULTS&action=&title=&artist=eric%20carmen&format=SINGLE&debutLP=&category=&sex=&releaseDate=&requestNo=&type=&level=&label=&company=&certificationDate=&awardDescription=&catalogNo=&aSex=&rec_id=&charField=&gold=&platinum=&multiPlat=&level2=&certDate=&album=&id=&after=&before=&startMonth=1&endMonth=1&startYear=1958&endYear=2008&sort=Artist&perPage=25|title=RIAA - Gold and Platinum - Search Results - Eric Carmen singles|archiveurl=https://archive.is/20120524231426/http://riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?resultpage=1&table=SEARCH_RESULTS&action=&title=&artist=eric%20carmen&format=SINGLE&debutLP=&category=&sex=&releaseDate=&requestNo=&type=&level=&label=&company=&certificationDate=&awardDescription=&catalogNo=&aSex=&rec_id=&charField=&gold=&platinum=&multiPlat=&level2=&certDate=&album=&id=&after=&before=&startMonth=1&endMonth=1&startYear=1958&endYear=2008&sort=Artist&perPage=25|archivedate=24.

In einer Umfrage für die [[Channel 5 (Großbritannien)|Channel-5]]-Show ''Britain’s Favourite Break-up Songs'' wurde Eric Carmens Originalversion seines Lied 2006 auf Platz 17 gewählt.

Die Strophe basiert auf dem zweiten Satz (''Adagio sostenuto'') von [[Sergei Wassiljewitsch Rachmaninow|Sergei Rachmaninows]] ''[[2. Klavierkonzert (Rachmaninow)|Klavierkonzert Nr. 2 in C-moll]]'', Opus 18. Der Refrain ist dem Lied ''Let’s Pretend'' entliehen, welches aus Carmens Feder stammt und 1972 mit den [[The Raspberries|Raspberries]] aufgenommen wurde.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ericcarmen.com/eric-interview-01.html|title=An Interview with Eric Carmen|publisher=|accessdate=12.

Rachmaninows Musik war in den Vereinigten Staaten bereits in die [[Public Domain]] übergegangen, Carmen ging daher davon aus, dass kein Copyright mehr existierten, außerhalb der USA war das Lied aber noch geschützt. Nach der Veröffentlichung des Albums wurde er vom Anwesen Rachmaninows kontaktiert und über die Rechtslage in Kenntnis gesetzt.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/?id=HyijAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA17&lpg=PA17&dq=Eric+Carmen,+Sergei+Rachmaninoff#v=onepage&q=Eric%20Carmen%2C%20Sergei%20Rachmaninoff&f=false |title=The Cliff Richard Recording Catalogue 1958-2010 |year=2010|accessdate=30.

One of the most notable cover versions of "All by Myself" was recorded by [[Celine Dion]] in 1996. It was the fourth (or third, depending on the country) hit [[Single (music)|single]] from her album ''[[Falling into You]]''.<ref>[http://www.celinedion.com/celinedion/english/music.cgi?album_id=8 Falling into You] {{Webarchiv |url=http://www.celinedion.com/celinedion/english/music.cgi?album_id=8 |wayback=20080915113526}} 15. September 2008, abgerufen am 31. Januar 1996</ref>  Produced by [[David Foster]] at [[Compass Point Studios]] in [[The Bahamas]], it was released on October 7, 1996 in Europe, January 13, 1997 in Australia, and March 11, 1997 in North America.

There were three music videos made. The first one was released in October 1996. It contains fragments from Dion's photo session for the ''Falling into You'' album cover and some scenes from her ''[[Live à Paris]]'' concert. It was made for the single version and it was directed by Nigel Dick. The second version was made for the UK market with the same white T-shirt scenes but adding footage of a young couple in love at Christmas time, instead of scenes from Dion's concert. This was made for the album version. Finally, a live music video was released in March 1997 in North America (from the 1996 concert in Montreal).

Dion performed this song many times during world tours, TV shows and music events such as the [[Grammy Award]]s (1997), [[Billboard Music Award]]s (1997) and [[Bambi (prize)|Bambi Awards]] (1996).  A performance from her 2008-2009 [[Taking Chances Tour]] can be found on the ''[[Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert]]'' DVD/CD. It is currently included in the set list of Dion's Las Vegas residency show [[Celine (residency show)|Céline]] which premiered on March 15, 2011.  The song was also performed during the 2013 [[Sans attendre Tour]]; the Quebec City performance was included in the ''[[Céline... une seule fois / Live 2013]]'' CD/DVD.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.celinedion.com/ca/music/c%C3%A9line-une-seule-fois-live-2013-2cddvd |title=Archived copy |accessdate=May 20, 2014 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140520005319/http://www.celinedion.com/ca/music/c%C3%A9line-une-seule-fois-live-2013-2cddvd |archivedate=May 20, 2014 }}</ref> The song was also performed in Dion's [[Celine Dion Live 2017|2017 European tour]].

Dion also recorded a [[Spanish language|Spanish]] version of "All by Myself," called "Sola otra vez" ([[English language|English]]: ''By Myself Again''). It was added to the ''Falling into You'' Latin American/Spanish edition, and as a B-side to other singles from that album. This version became available worldwide on Dion's later compilation ''[[The Collector's Series, Volume One]]''. The CD single was released in 1996 in Brazil only. Dion's "Sola otra vez" was selected the number one Spanish language cover of an English pop song by TheSpanishVersion.Org.<ref>{{cite web|title=LOS DIEZ:  The Spanish Version's Ten Best |url=http://thespanishversion.org/topten.html |website=Thespanishversion.org |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120127174146/http://thespanishversion.org/topten.html |archivedate=January 27, 2012 |df= }}</ref>

The "All by Myself" single became one of Dion's biggest hits in the United States, reaching number 1 on the [[Adult Contemporary (chart)|Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks]] (for three weeks) and the [[Latin Pop Airplay]] (two weeks). It peaked at number 4 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] (number 7 on the [[Hot 100 Airplay (Radio Songs)|Billboard Hot 100 Airplay]] and number 5 on the [[Hot 100 Singles Sales]]). It was also a top 10 hit in France, United Kingdom, Wallonia in Belgium and the Republic of Ireland. In Canada, "All by Myself" was released as a promotional single only, hitting number 1 on the Adult Contemporary Chart. "All by Myself" was certified gold in the US (500,000), and silver in the UK (200,000) and France (165,000).

The track was included on some editions of Dion's greatest hits ''[[All the Way... A Decade of Song]]'' in 1999 and on ''[[My Love: Essential Collection]]'' in 2008.

This version also features on the [[ITV (TV channel)|ITV]] game show ''[[Take Me Out (UK game show)|Take Me Out]]'' if the contestant leaves the show without a date.

===Critical reception===
Dion's cover received positive reviews. ''New York Times'' editor Stephen Holden wrote that the remake, along with "Because You Loved Me," "are the strongest cuts on an album crammed with formulaic romantic bombast."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/04/14/arts/new-releases-073873.html|title=New Releases|date=April 14, 1996|work=The New York Times|accessdate=February 12, 2016}}</ref> Music.uk.launch.yahoo.com editor Dan Leroy wrote: "Trying to out-emote Eric Carmen was almost crazy enough to work."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://music.uk.launch.yahoo.com/read/review/12030099 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=March 9, 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120708214631/http://music.uk.launch.yahoo.com/read/review/12030099 |archivedate=July 8, 2012 }}</ref>  ''Entertainment Weekly'' editor Chuck Eddy said:" ...But only in her desolate cover of Eric Carmen's ''All by Myself'' does she truly crash through the glass ceiling of passion."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,291693,00.html|title=Falling Into You - EW.com|work=Entertainment Weekly's EW.com|accessdate=February 12, 2016}}</ref>

==Use in popular culture==
The Carmen version is used in the video introduction for [[Conan O'Brien]]'s "[[The Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour|Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour]]", when an obese and bearded version of the talk show host struggles to cope with losing his job as host of ''[[The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien|Tonight Show]]''.

The version is used also in the film ''[[I nuovi mostri]]'' directed by [[Dino Risi]], with [[Ornella Muti]] and [[Yorgo Voyagis]]. In the Disney film ''[[Zootopia]]'', a snippet is heard of it as the main character, Judy Hopps, browses through one depressing song after another on her clock radio.
