Release

"Flipside" was first posted to MySpace on June 13, 2007, along with "Headlight Disco" as a promotional single, ahead of the release of their second studio album Modern Minds and Pastimes. It was later released as a single in May 2008, exclusively to South-East Asia.

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's 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."
