"The Fear of Being Alone" is a song written by Walt Aldridge and Bruce Miller, and recorded by American country music singer Reba McEntire. It was released in October 1996 as the first single from the album What If It's You. The song peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

The music video of "The Fear of Being Alone," directed by Dominic Orlando, was filmed in Starstruck Studios, Reba's recording facility. Other scenes were shot at various locations around Nashville with Reba keeping her hair hidden under a baseball cap (with a faux red ponytail attached) - because the video was intended to reveal her new, short hair style to her fans.

The song debuted at #41 on the Hot Country Single's chart[1] for the week of October 5, 1996 and peaked at #2 for the week of December 17, 1996. It stayed at #2 for three weeks. It stayed in the Top Ten for 10 weeks.
