[Verse 1: Perrie Edwards & All]
This is a shout out to my ex
This is a shout out to my ex
This is a shout out to my ex
Heard he in love with some other chick
Yeah yeah, that hurt me, I'll admit
Forget that boy, I'm over it
I hope she gettin’ better sex
Hope she ain't fakin’ it like I did, babe
Took four long years to call it quits
Forget that boy, I'm over it

[Pre-Chorus: Jade Thirlwall]
Guess I should say thank you
For the "hate yous" and the tattoos
Oh, baby, I'm cool by the way
Ain't sure I loved you anyway
Go 'head, babe, I'ma live my life, my life

[Chorus: All]
Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man
You made my heart break and that made me who I am
Here's to my ex, hey, look at me now
Well, I, I'm all the way up
I swear you'll never bring me down

[Verse 2: Jesy Nelson & All]
Oh, I deleted all your pics
Then blocked your number from my phone, mm
Yeah, yeah, you took all you could get
But you ain't getting this love no more (Ah-ooh)
‘Cause now I'm living so legit (So legit!)
Even though you broke my heart in two, baby (Scoop, scoop)
But I snapped right back, I'm so brand new, baby
(I'm so brand new!)
Boy, read my lips, I'm over you, over you

[Pre-Chorus: Leigh-Anne Pinnock]
Mmm, guess I should say thank you
For the "hate yous" and the tattoos
Oh baby, I'm cool by the way
Ain't sure I loved you anyway
Go 'head, babe, I'ma live my life, my life, hey

[Chorus: All & Jade Thirwall]
Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man
You made my heart break and that made me who I am
Here's to my ex, hey, look at me now
Well, I'm, I'm all the way up
I swear you'll never bring me down (bring me down)
Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man
You made my heart break and that made me who I am
Here's to my ex, hey, look at me now
Well, I'm, I'm all the way up
I swear you'll never, you'll never bring me down
You’ll never bring me down

[Breakdown: All]
Shout out to my ex (This is a shout out to my ex)

Shout out, shout out, shout out, shout out to my ex

[Bridge: Perrie Edwards & All]
Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man
