To promote her already extremely successful second album, hopeless fountain kingdom, Halsey announced the third single from the record to be “Alone”, a glittery, horn filled song about the tribulations of fame.

However, during the announcement she teased a remix of the track, which was later revealed to have verses from American rapper Big Sean and English rapper Stefflon Don.

Big Sean adds an additional point of view of trying to chase a woman in Halsey’s position, whilst Stefflon Don adds the perspective of someone in Halsey’s position (the celebrity too busy for love and friendship).

The remix for “Alone” serves as Halsey’s third official collaboration with a rapper, the first being with Quavo on the track “Lie” from hopeless fountain kingdom, and the second being “Him & I” with G-Eazy from his third studio album The Beautiful & Damned.
