SONG STYLE Fast early-2000s British UK garage / R&B-pop girlband track. Bouncy 2-step rhythm, slick R&B verses, playful female vocal handovers, rich harmonies and a huge infectious pop chorus. WRONG DIRECTION [Intro — Layered Female Vocals] Said I was going home Yeah, that’s what I said So why am I heading your way instead? [Verse 1 — Female Lead] Quarter past twelve and I’m done for the night Girls getting coats and I’m calling a ride Said if you text me, I’m leaving it read That’s what I told them, that’s what I said Then your name lights up on my phone Two little words — “You coming home?” Should know better, know your game But I’m already giving the driver your name [Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal Change] I know I said I’m over it I know exactly what this is Should be turning left right now But look at me, I’m turning round [Chorus — Full Girl Group] I’m going the wrong direction Straight back into your attention Said I was done, said I’d learned my lesson Now I’m heading for your side of town Wrong direction No point fighting the connection I know better, but I keep forgetting Every road keeps leading me back around I should be going home But I know where I’m going now Wrong direction And I don’t wanna turn around [Post-Chorus — Layered Female Vocals] Wrong way Your way Wrong way Your way [Verse 2 — Different Female Lead] Taxi lights dancing over my face Three missed calls and I’m picking up pace Girls in the group chat calling me weak I’ll deal with all of that sometime next week I know your door, I know your street Know exactly where this always leads Could tell the driver change the route But we both know I’m not getting out [Pre-Chorus — Female Vocal Change] I know I said I’m over it But maybe I was full of it Should be turning left right now Too late, baby, I’m nearly there now [Chorus — Full Girl Group] I’m going the wrong direction Straight back into your attention Said I was done, said I’d learned my lesson Now I’m heading for your side of town Wrong direction No point fighting the connection I know better, but I keep forgetting Every road keeps leading me back around I should be going home But I know where I’m going now Wrong direction And I don’t wanna turn around [Garage Breakdown — Layered Female Harmonies] Round and round Here we go again Said never again But I said that then One more turn One more light One more bad decision On a Friday night [Build — Female Vocal] Maybe tomorrow I’ll regret it Maybe tomorrow I’ll pretend Tonight I see your street ahead And I’m doing it again [Final Chorus — Full Girl Group, Layered Harmonies] I’m going the wrong direction Straight back into your attention Said I was done, said I’d learned my lesson Now I’m heading for your side of town Wrong direction No point fighting the connection I know better, but I keep forgetting Every road keeps leading me back around I should be going home But I know where I’m going now Wrong direction And I don’t wanna turn around [Post-Chorus — Layered Female Vocals] Wrong way Your way Wrong way Your way [Outro — Female Vocal] Told the girls I went straight home… They don’t need to know.
