On 21 May 2020, she released another solo single "Two Of Us", with a video for the song following a week after on 28 May. Bizu Yaregal from ''Euphoria Magazine'' gave it a positive review saying, “'Two Of Us' is best described as devastatingly beautiful, and shows a different and more stripped-back side to the performer. Produced by MYKL (who has worked with the likes of Zayn Malik and Mabel) the song talks about a relationship that is ending, and such a personal topic pushes Chater to showcase the best of her extraordinary vocal ability."<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-05-26|title=Alice Chater shares emotional ballad "Two Of Us" {{!}} EUPH.|url=https://www.euphoriazine.com/blog/2020/05/music/tracks-alice-chater-two-of-us/|access-date=2020-07-27|website=EUPHORIA.|language=en-US}}</ref>
