On May 13, 2016, Grande announced on her Instagram account that a new song from her album Dangerous Woman would be premiered exclusively on Apple Music every day until the release of the album.[3] The following day, Grande posted a short preview of "Side to Side" via Instagram, then premiered the song on Apple Music the same day.[4] On August 30, 2016, the track was sent to US rhythmic contemporary radio and urban contemporary radio and became Dangerous Woman's third single.[1][2]
A sound sample of the reggae-pop song "Side to Side", featuring guest appearance from rapper and singer Nicki Minaj. The sample shows Grande singing the chorus accompanied by a guitar, snaps and drums. Lyrically, "Side to Side" talks about soreness after sex.[5][6][7]
The song is a reggae-pop[9][10][11][12][13] and dancehall[14] song complemented with R&B[5] influences with a duration of three minutes and forty-six seconds (3:46).[15]
Lyrically, "Side to Side" describes a feeling of soreness after sex. In an interview to MTV News reporter Gaby Wilson, Grande explained "that whole song is about riding leading to soreness".[7] Deepa Lakshmin from MTV noted that when Minaj says the words "bicycle" and "tricycle", "she's rapping about something a bit more risqué than your standard gym workout."[7]
Critical reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic noted that the song's sound is comparable to works from Barbadian singer Rihanna.[16] Maeve McDermott from USA Today also noted the similarities and wrote, "Grande borrows the tropical flavors and ska upstrumming that Rihanna ushered into pop music's consciousness." She went on to praise Minaj's participation, writing, "Who better to invite on an album about female fierceness than Nicki Minaj, whose understated verse steals the show and lends Grande some real danger."[17]
Rolling Stone's writer Rob Sheffield ranked "Side to Side" at number 22 on his list of "50 Best Songs of 2016", describing it as "an ode to having so much sex you can't walk straight the next day."[18]
