"Alone" is a song by German singer

Dr Luke and Rocco Did It Again!
. The song became a top 40 hit in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Slovakia, and Latvia.

Background

Petras' admiration for the rapper dates back as far as 2011.[3] First speculations about a collaboration arose in early March 2023, after Petras started commenting on Minaj's Instagram.[4] In an interview with Billboard, the singer also mentioned Minaj as part of her dream girl group.[5] On 9 March and 15 March, Petras posted snippets of the song to her TikTok account.[6] The singer announced the collaboration with Minaj on 6 April.[7] She is seen answering a phone and lip-synching over Minaj's part of the song.[8] The song samples "Better Off Alone" (1999) by Alice Deejay.[9] Musically, it has been described as a dance track.[10][11][12]

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Arrad. They stated: "Inspiration was drawn from the quintessential early 2000s Europop music videos by artists such as Fedde Le Grand and Alex Gaudino."[13]

Petras stated: "I wanted a really German techy vibe, and was so happy Nicki was down. The harness was custom made by Zana Bayne."[14]
