Melanie C - Better Alone

"Better Alone" was the second single from Melanie C's third solo album "Beautiful Intentions". Released on 1st August 2005, the single failed to get attention from the UK media, and the decision was made to release the single on iTunes only, with physical copies only available to order on her melaniec.net site. Promotion to help "Beautiful Intentions" continued, but this did nothing for album sales in the UK. However, the single was still released internationally as planned, with releases in Australia, Belgium, Italy and Sweden amongst others.
"Better Alone" was released in German-speaking territories, with a new promotional video, in February 2006,
but as with most other territories, the single stalled, and was even out-charted by "First Day Of My Life".
