"Better Alone" is a single from Melanie C's third album Beautiful Intentions. The song is a piano-backed ballad which covers themes such as independence and emancipation from a stifling relationship.

In the UK, Better Alone was available to purchase from iTunes and from the online shop on Melanie's website, which sold a limited run of two physical CDs and a DVD single.

Better Alone was also released in Australia, Italy, Sweden and Netherlands. In February 2006 the single was released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland accompanied by a new promotional video.
