Background and release

[edit]

The song was written by Julia Karlsson, Gunnar Greve, Franklin Jovani Martinez, Marcos G. Pérez, Fredrik Borch Olsen, Jesper Borgen, Øyvind Sauvik, Anders Frøen and Anton Rundberg alongside Walker, Carpenter and Farruko. The production was done by Alan Walker and Big Fred. Karlsson and Carpenter previously worked together on Carpenter's song "Bad Time".

On 9 March 2019, Alan Walker began teasing the song via his social media.[3] On 14 March 2019, Alan Walker formally announced the song along with its release date.[4] After the announcement of the song, rumours circulated that Sabrina Carpenter and Farruko would feature on the song. Alan Walker confirmed their involvement in the song on 19 March 2019.[5] On 20 March 2019, Walker announced that he partnered with PUBG Mobile for the first anniversary of the game, and that the song would be the event's theme song.[6]

Composition

[edit]

"On My Way" is a song that runs for 3 minutes and 13 seconds.[7] It is composed and songwritten in the key of D♭ minor (or C♯ minor) with a tempo of 85 beats per minute. It features Walker's signature future bass style and lyrically, the song is about getting out of a bad relationship.[8] Walker states in an interview that the song is based on the DJ Okawari song "Flower Dance".

Music video

[edit]

The music video, directed by Christian Berg, was produced to coincide with the song's release and received 80 million views in just over a month after its release on YouTube; as of February 2024, it has received over 555 million views and 9.7 million likes.[9][2]

It was later revealed that the video, along with the music videos for Walker's later songs "Alone, pt. II" and "Heading Home," consisting of "Tired," "All Falls Down," "Darkside" and "Diamond Heart," respectively They are tied to the events of the previous "World of Walker" tetralogy. Despite this, the later video trilogy is portrayed as a prequel to the original tetralogy." The music video for "Paradise" is set between the two trilogies.

Alternate video

[edit]

On 10 May 2019, the alternative video was posted on Alan Walker's YouTube channel, encouraging viewers to "choose their path" of either two video versions of Carpenter and Farruko in the official alternative music video, both were posted on their respective channels that same day. The two versions of the alternative music video indicated different searches, pieces of evidence, and artefacts that the female protagonist was searching (depending on the viewer's choice) which led to each versions ending with the same outcome, which is the scene where tombstones with stone formations which were laid on the site, that took place a month before the events of the official music video when the artefacts were being unearthed and discovered. [citation needed]

Alan Walker's interactive alternative video received over 1.7 million views (as of 30 December 2020),[10] while Carpenter and Farruko's alternative music videos received over 13 million views[11] and 34 million views,[12] respectively.
