Just when you think a classic can't get any better, think again.

Alan Walker, Dash Berlin and gaming phenom Vikkstar have joined forces for a contemporary re-imagination of Alice Deejay's "Better Off Alone," out now via MER Recordings.

"Better Off (Alone Pt. III)" is a continuation of Walker's "Alone" series following 2016's "Alone" and 2019's "Alone Pt. II" (with Ava Max). This time around, with the help of Dash Berlin and Vikkstar, he's crafted a track filled to the brim with intoxicating nostalgia courtesy of its mesmerizing Eurodance beat.

The omnipresent rapture found within the track is yet another compelling thread as Walker pulls the yarn of one of his biggest hits. Check out the official music video for "Better Off (Alone Pt. III)" below.

Walker's collaboration with someone like Vikkstar may come as a surprise to some, but the two connected over five years ago and have been friends since. Collaborating with the gaming superstar fits right into the dance music superstar's personal mission to work with talented newcomers and help them find a foothold within the industry.

"Teaming up with Dash Berlin and Vikkstar for 'Better Off (Alone Pt. III)' has been a creative whirlwind," Walker said. "We've reimagined a beloved 90s gem, infusing it with a contemporary twist that's bound to resonate with fans old and new. This collaboration embodies the magic of music—a fusion of nostalgia and innovation."
