I mean neither this or Rollercoaster are particularly interesting - I still cannot believe fans went to an early listen of the album and called Rollercoaster the hit Perrie needed. The best thing she did was regroup and come back with If He Wanted To He Would

Was there an early version of the album? Are there any songs that didn’t make it into the final album we got last year?

I don't think so - if memory serves (and it's really shit). This was a party around either Tears or You Go Your Own Way and they played Forget About Me, Rollercoaster and Tears. I remember reading about it online and fans were gushing about Rollercoaster as a huge hit in the making.

Thanks.

Oh dear, how wrong they were.

I feel like they were expecting ‘Tears’ to be a Sabrina-lite moment for Perrie and take off more than it did. Sonically it’s not *too* far removed from what Sabrina was doing however, the lyrics were so bland and lacking personality (a key component to Sabrina’s entire aesthetic) so they continued it with this session of ‘Rollercoaster’ and ‘Woman In Love’.

Thankfully ‘Tears’ bombed and they hit some sort of panic button and gave us YGYW and realised if that had followed FAU it may have actually been another top 40 for her.

I am so glad they regrouped and gave us the more pop-rock sound instead. But I still want a huge power ballad for her. I’m talking Celine/Whitney/Adele type power ballad. The ballads on the album (as nice as they are) lack something for me and her voice is worthy of more.

'You Go Your Way' is a chaotic mess of a song but an absolute banger and the video was incredible. It's exactly the sort of 'soaring, belting, loud production' chorus that Perrie excels at and I'd love to hear more songs in this vein, especially after hearing her belt out 'Always' on the Live Lounge.

I'm really not here for the Kelly Clarkson/Katy Perry/Pink 5th single Hot AC soccer mom soft rock stuff.

Yeah YGYW would of been recieved better if it immediately followed FAU rather than tears i reckon

I wasn't big on YGYW at the time, but I have to agree it would've been better as single #2.

I just saw WIL being on Radio 2 Playlist - is this a single

Perrie’s Radio 2 Piano Room session is now available on streaming!

ALWAYS!!!!!

That explains what I got on autoplay yesterday was confused as I hadn't heard these versions before especially the song always 🩵

That final minute of ‘Always’…

Oh Perrie Edwards. Come get your flowers!!!!🌼🌺🌹🌷💐💐🌷🌹🌺🌼

I need a cover of ‘Hurt’ by Xtinct asap.

I was unlucky to snag a copy of the album today for Record Store Day

I’m really hoping some of the stores that aren’t near me have copies available online on Monday!

Surprised it didn't enter the top 100. It looked like quite a few people were picking it up on socials.

Not even top 100 on Monday how limited was it cant be more than a thousand max then 😢

Buzzing! Grabbed the Fan Edition from Banquet!

Finally got a copy myself!! That was hell I had it in my basket at VinylFetishes but I didnt complete in time 😩

Rough trade have some! It’s pretty much sold out everywhere now.

It looks like it was released in some parts of Europe? Maybe 2/2.5k pressed worldwide??
