"Eastside" is a song by American record producer Benny Blanco and American singers Halsey and Khalid.[1] The song was released on July 12, 2018, as Blanco's debut single.[2][3]

The single debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the issue dated July 28, 2018, at number 56,[4] and peaked at number nine on the chart, marking Blanco's first top 10 single credited as an artist and his 27th top 10 as a songwriter.[5] Outside of the United States, "Eastside" topped the charts in New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland, Singapore, and the United Kingdom, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in several other countries, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, and Norway.

Additionally, "Eastside" spent 45 weeks on Billboard's Pop Songs radio airplay chart, tying the longevity record for the most weeks spent on the chart with Khalid and Normani's "Love Lies" and Dua Lipa's "New Rules"; this record has since been broken and is currently held by Rema and Selena Gomez's "Calm Down".[6]
