On Your Side

"On Your Side" is a song recorded by Australia pop duo The Veronicas for their forthcoming fourth studio album. The Veronicas twins, Lisa Origliasso and Jessica Origliasso, co-wrote the song with Wayne Hector and Jim Eliot, while Swedish record producer Ollipop and Freddy Haggstam produced the track. It was released through Sony Music on 14 October 2016 as the album's second single. Composition "On Your Side" is a synthpop and EDM song written by The Veronicas (Jessica Origliasso and Lisa Origliasso) with British songwriters Wayne Hector and Jim Eliot. It was written and recorded in London, England and produced by Swedish record producer Ollipop. Critics have also noted influences of reggaeton and tropical house in song's musical styling. Lyrically, the song is about wishing an ex-lover happiness in spite of the heartache caused by the relationship ending. "After you have loved and lived through different relationships," Jessica Origliasso said in explanation of the song's meaning, "you reach a place where there's a certain amount of acceptance that the love that you shared still exists even if the relationship doesn't."

[Verse 1] If we knew then what we do now We'd hold our hands and take a bow Together we would stand our ground And fight [Pre-Chorus] I remember the night we got drunk I got sick on the subway With your hands on my face Said, "It don't matter, babe 'Cause I'm always on your side" [Chorus] Life isn't pretty we all get a little wrecked sometimes If God's listening, people think you're out of your mind Even if you believe it Through all the hard times I'm on your side On your side I'm on your side On your side [Verse 2] I still wear your t-shirt out All the ink is faded now I wonder who you're dreaming of Tonight [Pre-Chorus] I remember the night When you packed all your bags in the doorway Said, "I don't wanna fight You can leave, but remember I'm always on your side" [Chorus] Life isn't pretty we all get a little wrecked sometimes If God's listening, people think you're out of your mind Even if you believe it Through all the hard times I'm on your side On your side I'm on your side On your side [Outro] On your side Life isn't pretty we all get a little wrecked sometimes If God's listening, people think you're out of your mind Even if you believe it Through all the hard times I'm on your side
