“You Go Your Way” is the third solo single by Perrie after the group Little Mix announced its hiatus.
On Sept 16, she posted a mysterious teaser on her social media, along with an instrumental in the back. 4 days after that, she released the pre-save of the song along with an official snippet of it...
[Intro]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
[Verse 1]
Driving back home, and we both know
There's been a little space between us
Hey, please, can you say something first?
I don't know, maybe something like
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
We'll be okay
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
[Verse 2]
You turn to face me and try to speak
But all that comes out is a little joke about me
Right then I know we'll be laughin', ha
When we look back in five years' time
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
Shit, I'm scared about it
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
[Post-Chorus]
I'm finding my way, yeah, baby
Go on, go on, go on
Go on and get over me
I find it hard to say, yeah, baby (Ooh)
Go on, go on, go on
Go ahead and get over me
[Verse 3]
Hey, my love
Do you really think we'll meet again?
'Cause I'm so scared
That if I don't stop this car right now
We'll get home and I'll have to say
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
I'm not okay
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay
[Post-Chorus]
I'm finding my way, yeah, baby (Ooh)
Go on, go on, go on
Go on and get over me
I find it hard to say, yeah, baby (Say, ooh)
Go on, just go on, go on
Go ahead and get over me (Ooh)
[Bridge]
Go ahead and get over me, hey
'Cause I'll be smiling
When we look back in five years' time
[Chorus]
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay (Ooh)
You go your way, I'll go mine
Okay, okay, okay (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You go your way, I'll go mine (You go your way and I'll go mine)
Okay, okay, okay (You'll be okay, ooh)
You go your way, I'll go mine (You go your way and I'll go mine)
Okay, okay, okay (We'll be okay)

I’d never worked with [Joy Anonymous] before and something about their energy just drew me in. I think they’re so talented. Oh my god, I think we probably have over 20 versions of production, it completely kept changing. When you hear what it originally sounded like, it was quite ’80s feel-good. But...
Perrie recalled the inspiration behind the song’s lyrics, recalling a moment in her relationship with footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as she prepared to go on tour in the U.S. She said:
We went on a few dates, and I could feel myself really falling for him. I told him, ‘I completely understand i...

I told Alex, you go your way and I’ll go mine and if it’s meant to be we’ll find each other again when I am back. He wasn’t happy with this idea and made our relationship official there and then! Fast forward 8 years and we are very happy, engaged and have our beautiful son. I truly believe if you l...
