Becky wrote and releases ‘Side Effects’ with friend and key collaborator, Lewis Thompson with whom she has a prolific creative partnership (the pair previously co-writing Becky’s huge hits with David Guetta ‘Remember’ and ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’ also with David Guetta and Ella Henderson) plus producer Jon Shave and long-term collaborators, Karen Poole and MNEK, who also provides backing vocals.

‘Side Effects’ is accompanied by a stunning official video, which was directed by KC Locke (Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, David Guetta). It follows Becky as she embarks upon an epic journey of escape from the lingering side effects of a toxic relationship.

Becky says, “I haven’t released a solo record in over a year, so coming out the door after a second BRIT win feels very exciting! I’m playing the best festivals this year and I can’t wait for people to have a new song to sing along with me. ‘Side Effects’ has been made with my favourite people in the industry and this one really feels like the beginning of my new chapter in my artistry. Album two here we come.”

Becky’s summer schedule calls at Fairview Park in Dublin on 16th June, and the biggest events of the UK summer festival schedule, with all currently confirmed shows listed below. In addition, she will kick off her YOU / ME / US residency with Ibiza Rocks on May 30th which runs through to late July.

Her 2021 debut album ‘Only Honest On The Weekend’ debuted at #7 and was certified Gold, adding to a career which has already achieved four double-Platinum singles. In addition to her two BRIT Awards, Becky has also won two ASCAP London Music Awards for ‘False Alarm’ and ‘Lose Control’, plus Best Female Artist at the 2022 O2 Silver Clef Awards. Her international success reached new heights in 2022 with four #1 hits at US dance radio in the shape of ‘Run’ with Galantis’, ‘Crazy What Love Can Do’ with David Guetta and Ella Henderson, ‘History’ with Joel Corry’, and ‘Words’.
