Music video
Three entirely different music videos were filmed for "You're Not Alone". The first video features all three band members Ruth-Ann Boyle, Tim Kellett and Robin Taylor-Firth appearing in spectral forms in a hotel room. The second video is the version which is seen the most and is set in a dark night-time setting in France. It features all three band members and includes scenes in a public toilet, and by a road with glowing headlights of cars. A third video is a montage of the band members in dark, moody urban settings. This video only features the remaining two band members, Boyle and Kellett.

ATB version
German trance producer and disc jockey ATB covered the song and released it as a single on 15 April 2002 in Germany.

The clip included a computer generated earth and the 'camera' rushing past it into deep space. The US CD release by Radikal Records had a cover misprint indicating the identical 4 track list as the 12" record release, however the CD contained 5 tracks.
