Okay, in case you haven’t slid into your Perrie-obsessed friend’s DMs in the last 24 hours: our auras are full-on pink glitter, radiating do-not-mess-with-us vibes toward any ex-crushes. Why? Because Queen Perrie just announced her debut self-titled album dropping September 26… and like the generous icon she is, she dropped a brand-new single and music video early for the impatient (hi, that’s us 😭). ‘If He Wanted To He Would’ literally takes that TikTok dating mantra and gives it a beat so cute it could destroy kingdoms—just like Perrie does in the video alongside bestie Nina Nesbitt (co-writing credits = eternal cool points). 

We are so obsessed with every music video Perrie makes that we had to curate a top three countdown—yes, you already know what sneaks into numero uno. They’re on repeat 24/7, and each one proves that Perrie isn’t just a singer… she’s just as versatile. 

No ‘Tears’ Were Spilled, Just Retro Editing Galore

If CapCut time-traveled straight to the seventies and decided to main character a disco queen, you’d get Perrie’s ‘Tears’ music video. Directed by the visionary Quentin Jones, it’s basically a love letter to retro glamour with a Perrie twist. From bold high-waisted red pants hugging her hips, to oversized sunnies, to gold chain dresses that scream Studio 54 chic—Perrie doesn’t just wear the look, she embodies it. But this isn’t just about fashion; it’s a whole playground for her creativity.

The video feels like someone cracked open the most fabulous scrapbook ever and let the cutouts run wild. Think: dancers shaking their thang on oversized lips, a girl strutting with heart-shaped balloons perched on Perrie’s hips while she’s stretched in a sequined bralet, and even Perrie doubling herself in a matching red dress to serve double the power. Every frame bursts with surreal, campy, wink-wink fun—like a collage you just can’t stop staring at.

‘You Go Your Way’ And Perrie Splits The Dance Floor Wide Open

Our one-take wonder girlie (yes, she filmed the entire thing in one seamless take—queen behavior only), ‘You Go Your Way’ is a full-on showcase of Perrie’s choreography chops. A skill we all know she mastered during her Little Mix days, but here it takes center stage under the glow of moody red lighting. Choreographed by Christin Olesen and directed by Charlie Di Placido, the video feels as if a street race collided with a dance battle and decided to make it art. Filmed outside the iconic Ace Cafe in Northwest London, it’s gritty, stylish, and totally magnetic.

Perrie isn’t just leading the charge as our little dancing queen—she’s hyping up the entire crew. Sometimes she’s right in the middle of the huddle, commanding the energy, and other times the dancers peel away for their own spotlight moments, almost in a Broadway-esque fashion. It’s bold, it’s fiery, and it proves that Perrie doesn’t just keep up with the dancers—she is the dancer. Honestly, who else could pull off a one-take music video and make it look this effortless? 

‘If He Wanted To He Would’… And He’d Rate Perrie’s Personality A Perfect 10

Debuting at #25 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart (Perrie’s second-highest entry with an official single 👑), ‘If He Wanted To He Would’ is basically what happens if the credits rolled after The Princess Diaries—and instead of happily-ever-after, Perrie and Nina Nesbitt decided to storm the palace and wreak absolute havoc. Directed by Dora Paphides, the video is a glorious mash-up of cult chick flick vibes—Mean Girls, The Holiday, Pretty Woman—all given a Perrie-core glow-up.

Hardcore Mixers clocked the details instantly: wardrobe nods sprinkled throughout like little Easter eggs. We’re talking the iconic cap from the LM5: The Tour intro, the Confetti Tour’s blue jumpsuit (👀 solo tour hint?), and Nina rocking the same tour’s black-and-white leotard. It’s a love letter to her roots while also screaming: This is Perrie’s era.

But the real star isn’t just the throwbacks—it’s Perrie herself. From cheeky eye rolls to a dramatic tango-style rose clenched between her teeth, she’s fully graduated from Sabrina Carpenter’s “let’s-kill-a-man” academy. Then, just when you think the chaos can’t get any better, she strips it all back in a breathtaking green gown, serving powerhouse vocals that remind us why she’s the person you call in a post-breakup meltdown. It’s camp, it’s cinematic, it’s cathartic—and it cements Perrie as not just a pop star, but the main character of her own universe.
