III)" is a song by British-Norwegian DJ Alan Walker, Dutch electronic music group Dash Berlin and British YouTuber and musician Vikram Barn better known as Vikkstar released by MER on 28 September 2023. The song is Barn's debut single and is a part of a series of songs by Walker that includes his 2016 single "Alone" and his 2019 collaborative single "Alone, Pt. II" with Ava Max.[1] The song heavily samples the 1999 single "Better Off Alone" written by Dash Berlin founding members Eelke Kalberg and Sebastiaan Molijn as part of Eurodance project Alice Deejay.[2]
Background
Walker and Barn met over five years before the release of the song.[2] Walker stated that working with Dash Berlin and Barn had been a "creative whirlwind" and that they have "reimagined a beloved 90s gem, infusing it with a contemporary twist that's bound to resonate with fans old and new".[2] He added that the collaboration "embodies the magic of music—a fusion of nostalgia and innovation".[2] Barn stated that it had been a honour that his debut single was a collaboration with Walker and Dash Berlin whom he described as having a "legendary reputation".[3] Dash Berlin member Ryan Fieret, who has been the frontman of the group since 2022, said he was "proud to be a part of this momentous team up" in celebrating 25 years since the release of "Better Off Alone".[3]
Critical reception
Chad Downs of Cultr said that the "iconic vocals mix seamlessly with today's progressive melodies and deep basslines".[1] Malvika Padin of Earmilk said that the song had an "uplifting vibe wrapped around it" and that Walker's Alone series was a "meaningful trilogy built on notes of positivity, unity and encouragement both on and off the dance floor".[4] Niko Sani of EDM.com stated that Alan Walker with the "help of Dash Berlin and Vikkstar [has] crafted a track filled to the brim with intoxicating nostalgia courtesy of its mesmerizing Eurodance beat".[2] RouteNote's Jacca said, "The theme of togetherness and support runs through the foundation of each single, and nowhere is it more evident than in this song. "I think you better come along" puts the aural arm around the listener and takes them along on the journey that Alan Walker, Vikkstar, and Dash Berlin have taken”.[5]
