On Your Own is a song by Blur. It was released as a single on 16 June 1997, and can also be found on the album Blur. It charted at #5 on the UK singles chart (see 1997 in British music). The song is notable for its use of a Roland 606 drum machine, Dave Rowntree also fiddles with one in the promo video.

[edit] B-Sides

The B-sides were all recorded at John Peel's home studio; Peel Acres. They were previously broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on 8 May 1997. An extensive interview was also broadcast, but is currently commercially unavailable. Stickered copies of CD1 and the white vinyl 7" featured the text 'includes POPSCENE'. This is because "Popscene" did not appear on the UK version of Modern Life is Rubbish and is, therefore, rare and sought after by fans. The version that appears here merges into "Song 2". All of Blur's Peel Sessions were later released on the second disc of the Japan only compilation Bustin' & Dronin'.
