Background
"On the Wrong Side" is both musically and lyrically inspired by Buckingham’s former band Fleetwood Mac, which Buckingham left in 2018. The song details the long and eventful relationship between him and the band as well as the ups and downs of life on the road.[6]
According to Buckingham, the song "evokes 'Go Your Own Way,' in that it's not a happy song, subject-matter wise, but it was an ebullient song musically. This was sort of the same idea."[1] He noted that the connection between the two songs can be found in their tones, vocal deliveries, and guitar solos.[7]
