Sam Quealy (feat. Marlon Magnee) - By My Side
A shimmering disco-pop crush that feels as good as it looks — Sam Quealy’s “By My Side” is joy, front to back.
Sam Quealy’s new single “By My Side,” featuring Marlon Magnée of La Femme, is pure techno-pop joy with a playful, human core. It’s a bright, buoyant glimpse into Quealy’s upcoming sophomore album Jawbreaker, out January 30, and it leans fully into connection, chemistry, and movement.
Asked about the heart of the song, Sam explains:
“finding someone who makes life feel brighter and less lonely, sharing a deep connection that turns the chaos of the world into a beautiful ride together.”
That feeling carries straight into the music — and the video. “By My Side” glides along on Euro-disco grooves, light on its feet and impossible to resist, while Quealy and Magnée’s easy chemistry gives the track its emotional lift. The video, set in a vintage recording studio with 70s flair, is an instant mood booster: playful, stylish, and completely unbothered by seriousness.
