"You'll Never Be Alone" was written by Anastacia and co-written and produced by Louis Biancaniello and Sam Watters.

Louis Pattison from NME wrote that the song "drips like Celine Dion dipped in honey. Yahoo! Music's James Salmon called it "an insipid halt", while Slant Magazine's Sal Cinquemani named it "syrupy".
