Becky Hill teamed up with DJ Lewis Thompson to create this addictive summer dance track. The song explores the intoxicating “side effects” of a past relationship that continually haunts her, emphasising the impact of breaking up with someone you feel you could possibly have a strong connection with....
[Intro]
Eeh, eeh
Eeh, eeh
[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin', I've been drinkin'
Anythin' that might anesthetise the feeling
I ain't jokin', I think I'm broken
Somethin' triggers me at any given moment
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasn't my plan, but it's the truth
And it ain't a phase that I'm going through
All that I am, all that I do
Always seems to be revolvin' 'round you
[Chorus]
'Cause I could be alone or in the club
Or someone else's bed
All I gotta do is think of us
And I get these side effects
Feeling like the more I'm movin' on
The more I can't forget
Every time, I get thеse side effеcts
[Drop]
Eeh, eeh
Eeh, eeh
Eeh, eeh
Every time, I get these side effects
[Verse 2]
People talkin' (Ooh), and I've been dodgin' (Ooh)
Every question about you is so exhaustin'
I still got your number (Ooh), sometimes I wonder (Ooh)
Where you are tonight, whose body you are under
[Pre-Chorus]
Wasn't my plan (Wasn't my plan), but it's the truth (But it's the truth)
No, it ain't a phase that I'm goin' through (No)
It’s all that I am, it's all that I do (All that I do)
Always seems to be revolvin' 'round you
[Chorus]
'Cause I could be alone or in the club
Or someone else's bed
All I gotta do is think of us
And I get these side effects
Feeling like the more I'm movin' on
The more I can't forget
Every time, (Oh) I get these side effects
[Drop]
Eeh, eeh
Eeh, eeh (Oh, woah)
Eeh, eeh
Every time (Oh)
[Chorus]
'Cause I could be alone or in the club
Or someone else's bed
All I gotta do is think of us
And I get these side effects
Feeling like the more I'm movin' on
The more I can't forget
Every time, I get these side effects

Becky Hill:
I haven’t released a solo record in over a year, so coming out the door after a second BRIT win feels very exciting! I’m playing the UK’s best festivals this year and I can’t wait for people to have a new song to sing along with me. ‘Side Effects’ has been made with my favourite people...
