Meaning

Clean Bandit's Grace Chatto told OK magazine:

"The song's quite empowering. It's about missing your ex but also about finding your own strength and deciding you're going to be on your own."
The song reflects the heartache that Grace Chatto has been struggling with since splitting from her love interest.

Speaking to the London Evening Standard newspaper, she said:
"I've been going through a difficult breakup for a long time and the message is you can't just replace an ex-partner with someone else. You have to be strong in yourself. I've never been through a breakup like this before... I was always the type of person who would go straight into another relationship.

Lyrics

It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop

I never meant to leave you hurting
I never meant to do the worst thing
Not to you (it's solo, solo, everybody)
'Cause every time I read your message
I wish I wasn't one of your exes
Now I'm the fool (it's solo, solo, everybody)

Since you've been gone
Been dancing on my own
There's boys up in my zone
But they can't turn me on
'Cause baby you're the only one I'm coming for
I can't take no more, no more, no more

I wanna f-woop woop woop but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own
I wanna f-woop woop woop but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo

It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo
It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo

Every single night i lose it
I can't even hear the music without you
(it solo, solo, everybody)
Ah, yeah, yeah
Try to stop myself from calling
But I really wanna know
If you're with someone new
(it solo, solo, everybody)

Since you've been gone
I've been dancing on my own
There's boys up in my zone
But they can't turn me on
'Cause baby you're the only one I'm coming for
I can't take no more, no more, no more

I wanna f-woop woop woop but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own
I wanna f-woop woop woop but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo

It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo
It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo

Can't do it solo

I wanna f-woop woop woop but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry but I like to party
T-t-touch but I got nobody
Here on my own (here on my own)
I wanna f-woop woop woop but I'm broken hearted
Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted
T-t-touch but I got nobody
So I do it solo

It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo (it solo, solo, everybody)
It's solo, solo, everybody
It's solo, everybody
It's solo, solo, everybody
I do it solo

So I do it solo
Play with the song, fill the gaps
