"Go Your Own Way" by Lindsey Buckingham
How Bitter Is It? 8 of 10. The song seems more bittersweet than straight bitter, until you remember that Stevie Nicks had to sing backup vocals.

Sample Lyric: "Tell me why everything turned around. Packing up, shacking up, is all you want to do"

Backstory: At the end of a debauched and dramatic two months in Sausalito, California, recording Rumours, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks split. Nicks tells Rolling Stone that Buckingham told her, "You take the car with all the stuff, and I'm flying back." And he did, and went to the Sunset Strip and recorded "Go Your Own Way." And for years the two of them sang it together onstage. Says Nicks, "I very, 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 out onstage, I wanted to go over and kill him."
