The original version is a bit over four minutes long, although there is also a version that lasts almost seven minutes.
"Do you think you're better off alone?" is the song's primary line, and was written by Pronti of Dutch producers Pronti & Kalmani after his lover left him. The song was originally intended to be an instrumental piece, but vocalist Judith Pronk was called upon to sing the lyrics because DJ Jurgen, who was involved in the project, wished to remain an underground DJ.

Pronk changed her stagename to Alice DeeJay after the track was released. The track was released to dance clubs and became an international hit in clubs reaching number 2 on the Billboard club charts in 2000 and a top ten club chart worldwide. The song then became a pop hit reaching #2 in Canada, #27 in the U.S., and #2 in the UK. Such was the demand for the track that though it never hit #1, each song that did fell beneath this song the very next week, so that several songs, all with just one week at #1, held Better Off Alone unfairly off the top. It went on to become one of the 10 best-selling singles of 1999 - the top-selling year for singles in the UK, with the exception of 1997, which was largely due to a single inspired by a certain Princess dying.[1] The song was in the top 100 bestselling singles in Australia for 2000 as compiled by the Australian Recording Industry Association.

The song was parodied by British all-girl comedy outfit Smack the Pony who recorded a very similar song and spoof video entitled I just can't find my friend.
