Go Your Own Way (album)
''Go Your Own Way'' is the second studio album released by British singer-songwriter and former ''Pop Idol'' runner-up, Gareth Gates. The album is essentially divided into two sections, with tracks one to ten representing "Night", and tracks eleven to nineteen representing "Day". In some regions, such as the United Kingdom and Europe, the two sections are split across two discs, while in other regions, the album is abridged and contained on a single disc. The album is Gates' last release on the Sony BMG record label, as sales of ''Go Your Own Way'' were much lower than his first studio album, ''What My Heart Wants to Say'', resulting in his record deal being terminated. Three singles were released from the album: "Spirit in the Sky", "Sunshine (Gareth Gates song), Sunshine" and "Say It Isn't So (Gareth Gates song), Say It Isn't So".
