Another Side is the debut studio album by American singer Corbin Bleu. It was released by Hollywood Records on May 1, 2007. Bleu stated that the album has a "pop-R&B feel".

The album was preceded by the single "Push It to the Limit," which reached number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100, while follow-up "Deal with It" peaked at number 87 on the Pop Songs chart. Bleu further supported Another Side by doing a solo summer tour with opening act Mitchel Musso, along with opening for Vanessa Hudgens' State & County Fair 2008 summer tour.

Background Bleu covered three songs for the album, "She Could Be" was originally sung by Christian Bautista and "Still There for Me" was originally sung by Nick Carter under the title "There for Me". The song "Deal with It" was originally written and sung by Jay Sean, who originally intended it to be the title single of his second album My Own Way (2008). He later gave it to Corbin Bleu, whose version of the song features background vocals by Jay Sean. The song earned Jay Sean a BMI Songwriter Award.

Critical reception

AllMusic editor Marisa Brown concluded that with the album, Bleu was "trying to appeal to a sense of fun, to singing along in the car with your friends (as your mom drives), but it's so generic and produced it doesn't even do that. And with that one objective failed, Another Side loses its own purpose completely."
