Go Your Own Way was famously written about Lindsey and Stevie's breakup and has become one of their highest selling songs.
When Stevie first heard the song, she demanded that Lindsay take out the line "Packing up, shacking up is all you wanna do", but he ultimately kept the lyrics. Stevie later told Rolling Stone that she "very much resented him telling the world that 'packing up, shacking up' with different men was all I wanted to do,"
"He knew it wasn't true. It was just an angry thing that he said. Every time those words would come onstage, I wanted to go over and kill him. He knew it, so he really pushed my buttons through that. It was like, 'I'll make you suffer for leaving me.' And I did."
Go Your Own Way was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Vocal Arrangement in 1978 but lost out against The Eagles' New Kid In Town.
