"Byle jak" (English: "Anyhow") is a song by Polish singer Margaret. It was included on the deluxe edition of her third studio album, Monkey Business (2017). The song was written by Emil Gullhamn, Sebastian Hallifax, Dimitri Stassos, and Margaret, and produced by Stassos.[1] It was released to contemporary hit radio in Poland on 21 December 2017 as the second single from Monkey Business, premiering on Radio ZET.[2]
Margaret added "Byle jak" to her concert set list in June 2016, a year before its official studio version was released on Monkey Business.[3] She revealed in 2018 that she wrote the song for another Polish artist (later confirmed to be Grzegorz Hyży) three years prior, but after he did not record it, she decided to include it on her album.[4][5] Margaret performed "Byle jak" for the first time on television in September 2017 at the National Festival of Polish Song broadcast by TVP1.[6] The single reached number six on the Polish Airplay Chart, and earned Margaret her first Fryderyk nomination. Its music video was the 10th most watched Polish music video on YouTube in 2018.
On 14 April 2023, Margaret released live version of "Byle jak" as the lead single from her MTV Unplugged concert special and its accompanying live album.[7]
