[10] The album's second single, titled “What Side of Love,” was first released on Yahoo's website on February 11, 2016, [11] and was then released to iTunes and other platforms the following day. An acoustic version of “What Side of Love” has since also been released on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, and Apple music.
