"You Let Me Walk Alone" is a song by German singer Michael Schulte. Conceived during a songwriting camp in the run-up to Unser Lied für Lissabon, the German national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2018, it was written by Schulte along with Thomas Stengaard, Nisse Ingwersen, and Katharina "Nina" Müller, while production was helmed by Stengaard, Jan-Philipp Kelber, and Joachim Schlüter. A tribute to Schulte's father, who died when the singer was 14, the song is an emotive piano ballad.
Eventually chosen to represent Germany in the contest in Lisbon, Portugal, it ended up coming fourth in the Grand Final, thus becoming Germany's best placing song since Lena's victory at the 2010 contest in Oslo, Norway and their second-best result of the 21st century overall by then. Released by Very Us Records as a digital download on 20 February 2018, it reached number three on the German Singles Chart and entered the top 20 in Belgium, Iceland, and the Netherlands after Schulte's performance on 12 May 2018.
