The release of the music video for "Alone" was released on July 2, 2016 on both Marshmello's and Monstercat's YouTube channels. The video on Marshmello's channel has over 700 million views as of January 2018.
The video shows Marshmello being bullied by his fellow schoolmates. A sympathetic classmate goes to his house after school, but catches him creating music. She decides to record and share a video of her findings and Marshmello becomes more popular overnight. The video ends with Marshmello taking out his portable EDM Pad Controller and stirring up a dance party in his classroom.
During the video Marshmello is shown placing a rat in a cage with the label "Joel" on the front. This is known to be a joke aimed at another popular EDM DJ Deadmau5. The reason behind this joke was a series of tweets posted by the Canadian DJ blasting Marshmello for his "poor music" and calling his followers "brain-dead sheep". Marshmello responded jokingly asking if Deadmau5 wanted to have a basketball match and the loser would buy dinner, after which, the Canadian DJ deleted all of his tweets that blasted Marshmello.
