"Alone, Pt. II" is a song by British-Norwegian record producer and DJ Alan Walker and American singer Ava Max, released by Sony Music on 27 December 2019.[2] It is a sequel to Walker's single "Alone" (2016).[3] Many remixes of the song were published, among which those by Rave Republic, Toby Romeo, RetroVision, Da Tweekaz, and one by Alex Skrindo, in collaboration with Sebastian Wibe. Much like the original, "Alone, Pt. II" also garnered critical acclaim. The song reached the top 10 in Belgium, The Czech Republic, Norway, Poland, and Romania. A sequel to the song titled "Better Off (Alone, Pt. III)" was released on 28 September, 2023.[4]

Critical reception

Jason Lipshutz of Billboard praised the song, stating that it "demonstrates the evolution of Walker’s production techniques". He also described Max's vocals as "a moment designed for glass-clinking, unified swaying and other forms of party camaraderie".[3]

Music videos

The official music video of the song was uploaded on Walker's YouTube channel on 27 December 2019. It is the sequel to the video of Walker's 2016 single "Alone".[5] The Kristian Berg directed video was filmed in the Vietnamese province of Quảng Bình between 2 and 10 April 2019, in locations such as the Sơn Đoòng cave, Tróoc river, Chay river, Tra Ang bridge, Doong village, En cave and Nuoc Nut cave.[5] A second video, also directed by Kristian Berg, was released on 17 February 2020, and was filmed live at the Château de Fontainebleau castle in France.[6] As of July 2023, the video has amassed over 320 million views and 5.1 million likes.[7]
