Lyrics[]
Perrie:
No bad blood but we don't speak
It's been a hundred fifty days or twenty-one weeks
Woah-oh
Who's countin' though
I saw you holdin' hands, suddenly on one street
She in the same cute tee that you bought me
Oh-woah-oh
She rockin' it though
Jade:
And you know I'd be lyin' if I said
I don't feel nothin' at all, oh-oh
I've been tryna be the bigger person
But it's hard when I've been feelin' so small
And nobody knows
Little Mix:
I'm still a mess, oh, since you left
If I can't be happy, happy with you
I'll be happy, happy for you
I guess no hard feelings
'Cause love looks so good on you
If you're happy, I'm happy, I'm happy for you
Jade (Little Mix):
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Got my peace sign (In the air, yeah, yeah)
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you're happy, I'm happy, I'm happy for you
Leigh-Anne
Don't wanna be sour, but it's bittersweet
A bad taste in my mouth 'cause you're over me
Oh-woah-oh
Time to let go
Please don't say "hi", I don't wanna be rude (oh)
She seems so sweet and I'm tryna be cool
Woah-oh-oh
Hold tight and I'm brokenhearted
Jade:
And you know I'd be lyin' if I said
I don't feel nothin' at all
And I, I'm gon' get my drip, gon' fix my makeup
Ain't got time for bein' emotional
And nobody knows
Little Mix (Perrie):
I'm still a mess, oh, since you left (Since you left)
If I can't be happy, happy with you
I'll be happy, happy for you
I guess (oh I guess) no hard feelings
‘Cause love looks so good on you
If you're happy, I'm happy, I'm happy for you
Jade (Little Mix):
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Got my peace sign (In the air, yeah, yeah)
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you're happy, I'm happy, I'm happy for you
Jesy:
Check, check, check
Check-check myself when I see you walkin' by
Check-check myself, don't wanna look into your eyes
Protect myself, 'cause the feelings never lie
Go check,go check,go check
Check, check, check
Check-check myself when I see you walkin' by
Check-check myself, don't wanna look into your eyes
Protect myself, 'cause the feelings never lie
Ha.ha.ha.ha
Jade (Little Mix):
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Got my peace sign (In the air, yeah, yeah) (oh)
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
If you're happy, I'm happy, I'm happy for you (Jade: For you, whoa)
Little Mix (Leigh-Anne):
I'm still a mess, oh, since you left (Perrie: I'm still a mess) (Since you left now)
If I can't be happy, happy with you (oh)
I'll be happy, happy for you (oh)
I guess no hard feelings (Jade: I guess) (Perrie: No hard feelings)
'Cause love looks so good on you
If you're happy, I'm happy, I'm happy for you (Oh whoa oh)
Jade with Little Mix (Little Mix):
Baby we fine (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Got my peace sign (In the air, yeah, yeah) (Perrie: Got my peace sign)

Trivia[]
- On Apple Music, Leigh-Anne said “The lyrics in this song, to me, are kind of Robyn-esque. It’s sad—it’s about seeing your ex with somebody else. And it’s like, ‘Look, if you're happy, I'm happy.’ Even though you're not. It sounds quite cutesy and happy, but it's actually really freaking sad. You’re actually dying. We love a happy sad song.”
