Your Ex-Lover (Neriah Fisher and Liam Payne song)

"Your Ex-Lover" is a song by American singer-songwriter Neriah Fisher. It was released as a single through Republic Records on October 5, 2021. The music video was released on the same day, alongside a lyric video. The song reached number one in the United Kingdom and Canada, and entered the top five in Australia, Austria, New Zealand, Czech Republic, Denmark, Malaysia, Scotland, Slovakia, and the United States.

Background
Fisher went offline for months after the release of her compilation album, Rhythm and abandoned her social media accounts and didn't do any interviews. She then released "Your Ex-Lover" without any prior announcement.

Fisher told Zane Lowe on the Beats 1 radio show that during her social media silence, she had been going through a very toxic relationship which then inspired her to write the song. She also mentioned that her labelmate, Taylor Swift, introduced her to Liam Payne which led to their collaboration.

Promotion
On October 8, 2021, Fisher made her first social media post in which she announced that "Your Ex-Lover" was now available on CD, 7-inch & 12-inch vinyls and cassette tapes through her website. Fisher then performed the song on Saturday Night Live the following night.

Commercial performance
With only two days of tracking, the song debuted at number thirty-four on the Billboard Hot 100, number fifty in the United Kingdom and number twenty-nine in Canada. The following week, with a full week of tracking, the track shot up to number three in the United States and became Fisher's sixth top ten entry on the chart. The song also peaked at number one in Canada and the United Kingdom. It also became Fisher's fifteenth number one on the US Pop Songs chart, and thus extended her record as the artist with the most number ones in the chart's history. The song spent a total of 51 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Fisher's longest running song on the chart.
