"7 Ways" is the fifth and final single released from former Five member Abs Breen's debut solo album, Abstract Theory. The single failed to chart anywhere as it was withdrawn just days before its release, due to a publicised dispute between Abs and his record label. A video was recorded for the song. The song features vocals from Eve Bicker, a female solo-singer from West Sussex.
