"By My Side" is a song written by Constant Change and recorded by American country music artists Lorrie Morgan and Jon Randall. It was released in April 1996 as the first single from Morgan's album Greater Need. The song reached No. 18 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.[2]
Morgan originally recorded the song as a duet with Sammy Kershaw, but Kershaw's label "didn't want to use it". As a result, the chairman of Morgan's label recommended that she record it with Randall instead.[3]
Wendy Newcomer of Cash Box reviewed the single favorably, stating that it was a "charming duet" and "The combination of Morgan’s grit and Randall’s airy tenor make radio fireworks."[4]
