Why it is here
- "By Your Side" was released on 3 October 2000 as a single from Sade's album Lovers Rock, written by Sade Adu, Andrew Hale, Stuart Matthewman and Paul S. Denman and produced by the band. source
- Sade is listed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a 2026 inductee in the Performer category, the band's first induction after four decades of recording. source
- Stereogum published a feature in October 2025 specifically about the song's continued popularity 25 years after its release, describing it as one of Sade's most durable recordings rather than one of her biggest chart hits. source
