What did Alice DeeJay say about "Better Off Alone"?
Genius Answer
I came up with the sentence “Do you think you’re better off alone” when the love of my life had left me. It’s kind of ironic cause I never even told her the song was about her. I never saw her again. It made the emotion of the song as real as it gets. One simple line that said it all. The track was instrumental at first, but I started humming the vocal melody while the track was playing and we decided to add vocals. That turned out to be a wise decision.
Pronti (Sebastiaan Molijn)
Nobody expected “Better Off Alone” to become such a worldwide hit. [DJ] Jurgen wanted to stay the underground club DJ that he was, so we asked Judy to perform the song. It was then that we decided to call it Alice Deejay.
