"Other Side" is Brent Faiyaz in full romantic mode, singing to a girl he's completely locked in on. He "moves and breathes" to make sure she feels special, promising stability while also admitting the connection feels almost unreal or fated. The hook hangs on the line: You must be from the other side, 'cause I saw you in my dreams last night This "other side" could be: A different plane or dimension (she feels too good to be real). A dream-world version of the relationship that might be more perfect than reality. Faiyaz has spoken generally about juggling relationships in the past and rethinking how he approaches love, though he remains tight-lipped about specifics. "Other Side" doesn't name names or timestamp the romance. It exists in that Brent space where autobiography is implied but never itemized. Faiyaz recorded the song for his third album, Icon. It plays into Icon's larger idea of him trying to show a more emotionally present, elevated version of himself. Production comes from Benny Blanco, a man whose résumé reads like a guided tour of 21st-century pop. He's crafted hits for Rihanna, Ed Sheeran, Justin Bieber, Halsey, The Weeknd, Camila Cabello and Selena Gomez - not to mention his own singles like "Eastside" and "Bad Decisions." On "Other Side," the track's clean drums, airy keys and spacious mix create a smooth, floating feel. Faiyaz interpolates the melody and feel of Snoop Dogg's 2004 single "Signs," which itself borrows from The Gap Band's 1982 song "Outstanding." As a result, the writers of those two earlier tracks - Snoop, Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo, Justin Timberlake, Charlie Wilson, Lonnie Simmons and Rudy Taylor - all get credited on "Other Side."
