VIntage Sade By Your Side

Sade’s “By Your Side,” released in 2000, was the highly anticipated lead single for the band’s fifth album, Lovers Rock, marking their return to the music scene after an eight-year hiatus following Love Deluxe. The song is a heartfelt and soulful declaration of unwavering commitment and unconditional love, shifting the band’s signature sound toward a more folk-rock and R&B-inflected groove, characterized by a prominent acoustic guitar rhythm. The accompanying music video, directed by Sophie Muller, was conceptualized as a metaphor for lead singer Sade Adu’s return, depicting her as a mysterious figure embarking on a journey that culminates in her offering a rose to passersby, symbolizing the band’s offering of their new music to the world after their long absence. This Grammy-nominated track became one of the band’s most popular and enduring anthems, cementing its status as a timeless love song.
