“Alone” is a yearning EDM banger about missing home and the person you love. It’s the first release on Canadian EDM label Monstercat for Marshmello—a masked DJ who came on the scene in 2015.

“Alone” dropped in May 2016, just days before Marshmello performed at EDC New York. Marshmello revealed the meaning of this song on Facebook:

Truth is, I had just moved away from my friends and family and I started to feel very home sick and lonely like I didn’t belong in my new settings. Everything was just happening so fast and I couldn’t really grasp where I was or who I was but all I knew was that I felt Alone.
