Side Effects of You is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Fantasia. It was released in the United States on April 23, 2013, by RCA Records after the disbanding of her former label J Records in 2011. Dubbed as a rock soul album,[1] it was primarily produced by Harmony Samuels whom Fantasia called her "Quincy Jones,"[2] referring to their creation process. British DJ Naughty Boy contributed the title track, while guest vocals were provided by rappers Big K.R.I.T. and Missy Elliott and singer Kelly Rowland.

The album earned largely positive reviews, who complimented its progression from Fantasia's earlier works. As with her previous project Back to Me (2010), Side Effects of You debuted and peaked at number two on the US Billboard 200 and reached the top of the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. By 2016, it had sold 300,000 copies domestically. The album received three Grammy Award nominations, including Best Progressive R&B Album. In the summer of 2013, Barrino promoted the album with the Side Effects of You Tour.
