Emotion: Side B (stylized as E•MO•TION: Side B) is the third extended play (EP) by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released on August 26, 2016, by 604 Records, Schoolboy Records and Interscope Records. Jepsen developed Side B as a companion piece to her third studio album, Emotion (2015), in response to fan demand. Side B features unreleased songs that were cut from the original effort.
Like its parent album, Side B takes heavy influence from 1980s pop music, with lyrical narratives that revolve around love and heartbreak. Several writers and producers on Emotion reprised their roles on Side B, including Greg Kurstin, Dev Hynes, and Rami Yacoub.[2] The EP received favourable reviews upon its release and was placed on several critics' lists for best of the year. The Japan-exclusive edition of the EP was supplemented with the song "Cut to the Feeling", a Jepsen single for the Canadian-French film Ballerina (2016). Emotion: Side B has sold 17,000 copies worldwide as of 2021.
