The Other Side of Down is the third studio album by American singer David Archuleta. It was released on October 5, 2010, through Jive Records. A follow-up to his 2009 Christmas album Christmas from the Heart, Archuleta worked with several producers on material for the album, including Emanuel Kiriakou, Mitch Allan, Danielle Brisebois, S*A*M and Sluggo, and Matt Squire. He co-wrote ten of the album's twelve tracks to create a more personal album reflecting his experiences and artistic growth.

The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its vocals, catchy pop production, and upbeat mood, though some noted it was not particularly innovative. It debuted at number 13 on the US Billboard 200 with 24,000 first-week sales and had sold 63,000 copies by February 2011. The Other Side of Down was promoted in Southeast Asia by Asian Tour, which began in July 2011. Lead single "Something 'Bout Love" failed to reach the US Billboard Hot 100. It was Archuleta's final album for Jive.
