"Flipside" is a song by American power pop band the Click Five. It was released in May 2008 as the last and digital download-only single for South-East Asia from their second studio album Modern Minds and Pastimes (2007).

Composition

"Flipside" was written by Ben Romans, Carl Falk and Kristian Lundin, while production was handled by Mike Denneen. Musically, the song is described as rock, as well as having some post-grunge influences, drawing comparison to "Weezer circa Pinkerton."

Critical reception

Colin McGuire of PopMatters stated, "the song as a whole is more pleasant than anything... And while it still may not feel sincere, the chorus is assured to be stuck in your head for days to follow." Entertainment Weekly described the track as "propulsive."
