"The Other Side" is a song by American singer Jason Derulo, released as the lead single from his third studio album, Tattoos (2013), and its US counterpart Talk Dirty (2014). Derulo co-wrote the song with Martin Johnson and Joshua "Ammo" Coleman; the latter is also the producer. The song was later featured in a TV spot for the 2017 Disney/Pixar film Coco. "The Other Side" was met with mixed reviews from critics, some praised its energy and catchiness while others defined it as a generic autotuned dance-pop track. Composition Courtney E. Smith of Radio.com wrote that "The Other Side" is about what "men really think about before the first time they have sex with a woman they care about." "The Other Side" is performed in the key of A major with a tempo of 128 beats per minute, with Derulo's vocals ranging from E3 to C5.
