We’re excited to share our latest single, “By Your Side”, now streaming. This track is a special one for us, it’s melodic house at 122 BPM, but at its core, it’s about something universal: holding on to love and finding strength in connection.
The lyrics came from late-night reflections, moments when silence can feel heavy, and the only comfort is knowing someone is right there with you. “By Your Side” is both an intimate story and a reminder that even in our hardest seasons, we don’t have to stand alone.
Musically, the song blends deep grooves, warm synth layers, and vocals that carry equal parts vulnerability and hope. It’s designed to move you on the dance floor, but also to resonate when you’re driving under city lights or lying awake at 2 AM.
For us, this track is about balance, the pulse of electronic rhythm paired with raw, human emotion. That’s the heartbeat of Sunset Sky, creating music that connects.
Behind the Scenes
This track came together in an unexpected way. The original demo started as a quiet piano progression late at night, with just a single vocal line: “What would I do without you … by my side?” From there, we built the energy outward, layering in a driving kick, airy pads, and melodic arpeggios that gave the song its forward momentum. We spent hours shaping the vocal delivery to feel intimate yet strong, like a whispered conversation that grows into a declaration.
Mixing was all about balance: keeping the low-end tight for the dance floor while letting the mids and highs breathe so the emotion in the vocals could shine through. It was one of those rare sessions where the more we refined, the more the track revealed its core message of resilience and connection.
Take a listen, share it with someone who’s been there for you, and let us know what you think.

By Your Side Lyrics
what would i do right now
without you
what would i do
without you by my side
i know the road is tough
and sometimes i get quiet
but
with you i know]
as you hold me tightly
i’ll be all right
be all alright
by your side
and when you ask me
what im thinking
i don’t want to hold back
or hesitate
id like to imagine im stronger than i am
and in this moment i need your strength
and
’ll be alright
i find myself sayung
here i find hope in your arms tonight
i find myself praying
everything will be alright
ill be alright
be your side
you’re the one i can trust with secrets
the only one ive let inside
i find myself saying
please telll me im not losing my mind
i find myself praying
can i felel this peaceful all the time
i find myself saying
how do i find will to stand again
i find myself praying
you were there when i needed a friend
i find myself saying
here i found hope in your arms tonight
i find myself praying
everything will be alright
and in the end you hold me closely
and i know everything will be all right
what would i do right now
without you
what would i do
without your light
i’ll be alright
by your side
