"My Side of Town" is a 1997 song recorded by American singer Lutricia McNeal from her album of the same name.

Release

The song was released as the follow-up single to McNeal's 1996 international hit "Ain't That Just the Way". Although not as successful as her previous hit, "My Side of Town" managed to chart within the top 40 of the charts in Sweden and the Netherlands. In 1998, McNeal's music began to gain popularity in New Zealand, with two hits, "Ain't That Just the Way" and "Stranded", reaching the top three. "My Side of Town" followed these hits and proved to be just as successful. It first appeared on the Recorded Music NZ (then RIANZ) chart at number 43 on January 24, 1999, then reached number 7 three weeks later. It dropped out of the top 10 for the next three weeks, then shot up 12 places to the number-one position on March 14, knocking New Radicals' "You Get What You Give" off the summit. "My Side of Town" dropped to number 19 the next week, then spent three more weeks in the top 50 before leaving the chart, its last appearance at number 29 on April 11.[1] Despite its success, this song was McNeal's last substantial hit in that country.

Two different music videos were made for the song.
