Background

Described as a "pulsing, industrial electro-house tune," the song is described as taking Garrix back to his "electro roots". [4] Initially, the song was revealed on a mysterious website that published an artwork detailing songs from the now-released Plus EP. [5] Among the songs was Breach (Walk Alone), that has been released as the first single from the EP and the first of five songs for a series of daily releases that had begun on 14 October 2018. [5] With elements of big room house, the song is composed of a "synth melody rife with tension builds up to a drop" and vocals of a female singer. [5] The song was premiered at the Tomorrowland 2018 festival during Garrix's stage performance. [6]

The song was described as "powered by a lead line that recalls classic hard house, it's an enormous slab of electro house with a sweet female vocal at its core. A serious fist-pumper of a track, it's been one of the most sought-after tracks in the scene since Garrix dropped it on Tomorrowland." [7] Consisting of two builds, it follows with a huge drop with bass sounds and synths. [8]

Music video

In the music video written and directed by Damian Karsznia, [9] Garrix and Blinders make a cameo appearance. [4] The video is noted for its late-nineties "concepts of crypto-apocalypse". It features the main model (Ihor Bliusovych) battling his way through a red and blue "virtual-obsessed" world. [4] [9] The credits feature cinematographer Julian Lomaga, script editors Mees Roozen, David Haringsma and Rick Batenburg, and editors Dieko Mirza, Damian Karsznia and Mees Roozen. [9]

The video was noted for having "Scanner Darkly-esque visuals that feature Garrix along with a number of unidentified individuals in what seems to be a drug-fueled nightclub experience." [10] [11]
