"The Other Side" is a song performed by the American rock band Aerosmith, and written by Steven Tyler, Jim Vallance, and Holland-Dozier-Holland. It was released on June 6, 1990 as the fourth single from the band's highly successful 1989 album Pump.
Jim Vallance composed the instrumental parts for the song between Christmas and New Year's Eve 1988. He then mailed a demo of the song with guitar, piano, bass, drums, and horn synthesizer to Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, who came up with the lyrics and vocal melody.[4] The songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland were eventually given songwriting credit on the song after threatening to file suit over similarities between "The Other Side" and their song "Standing in the Shadows of Love".[4]
