Why? Because Queen Perrie just announced her debut self-titled album dropping September 26\u2026 and like the generous icon she is, she dropped a brand-new single and music video early for the impatient (hi, that\u2019s us \ud83d\ude2d). \u2018If He Wanted To He Would\u2019 literally takes that TikTok dating mantra and gives it a beat so cute it could destroy kingdoms\u2014just like Perrie does in the video alongside bestie Nina Nesbitt (co-writing credits = eternal cool points).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We are so obsessed with every music video Perrie makes that we had to curate a top three countdown\u2014yes, you already know what sneaks into numero uno. They\u2019re on repeat 24\/7, and each one proves that Perrie isn\u2019t just a singer\u2026 she\u2019s just as versatile.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No \u2018Tears\u2019 Were Spilled, Just Retro Editing Galore<\/p>\n<p>If CapCut time-traveled straight to the seventies and decided to main character a disco queen, you\u2019d get Perrie\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneypop.com\/2024\/06\/24\/your-glitter-tears-tiktok-tutorial-to-follow-based-on-your-favorite-perrie-lyric\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018Tears\u2019<\/a> music video. Directed by the visionary Quentin Jones, it\u2019s 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\u2014Perrie doesn\u2019t just wear the look, she embodies it. But this isn\u2019t just about fashion; it\u2019s a whole playground for her creativity.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s hips while she\u2019s 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\u2014like a collage you just can\u2019t stop staring at.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You Go Your Way\u2019 And Perrie Splits The Dance Floor Wide Open<\/p>\n<p>Our one-take wonder girlie (yes, she filmed the entire thing in one seamless take\u2014queen behavior only), <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneypop.com\/2024\/10\/08\/you-go-your-way-well-spice-up-our-perrie-themed-karaoke-party\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u2018You Go Your Way\u2019<\/a> is a full-on showcase of Perrie\u2019s choreography chops. A skill we all know she mastered during her <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneypop.com\/2021\/11\/17\/6-music-videos-that-showcase-little-mixs-acting-skills\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Little Mix <\/a>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\u2019s gritty, stylish, and totally magnetic.<\/p>\n<p>Perrie isn\u2019t just leading the charge as our little dancing queen\u2014she\u2019s hyping up the entire crew. Sometimes she\u2019s 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\u2019s bold, it\u2019s fiery, and it proves that Perrie doesn\u2019t just keep up with the dancers\u2014she is the dancer. Honestly, who else could pull off a one-take music video and make it look this effortless?\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If He Wanted To He Would\u2019\u2026 And He\u2019d Rate Perrie\u2019s Personality A Perfect 10<\/p>\n<p>Debuting at #25 on the Worldwide iTunes Song Chart (Perrie\u2019s second-highest entry with an official single \ud83d\udc51), \u2018If He Wanted To He Would\u2019 is basically what happens if the credits rolled after The Princess Diaries\u2014and 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\u2014Mean Girls, The Holiday, Pretty Woman\u2014all given a Perrie-core glow-up. <\/p>\n<p>Hardcore Mixers clocked the details instantly: wardrobe nods sprinkled throughout like little Easter eggs. We\u2019re talking the iconic cap from the LM5: The Tour intro, the Confetti Tour\u2019s blue jumpsuit (\ud83d\udc40 solo tour hint?), and Nina rocking the same tour\u2019s black-and-white leotard. It\u2019s a love letter to her roots while also screaming: This is Perrie\u2019s era.<\/p>\n<p>But the real star isn\u2019t just the throwbacks\u2014it\u2019s Perrie herself. From cheeky eye rolls to a dramatic tango-style rose clenched between her teeth, she\u2019s fully graduated from Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s \u201clet\u2019s-kill-a-man\u201d academy. Then, just when you think the chaos can\u2019t get any better, she strips it all back in a breathtaking green gown, serving powerhouse vocals that remind us why she\u2019s the person you call in a post-breakup meltdown. It\u2019s camp, it\u2019s cinematic, it\u2019s cathartic\u2014and it cements Perrie as not just a pop star, but the main character of her own universe.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Which Perrie music video are you currently losing your mind over?
