"Keep on My Side" was Ammonia's fourth single from their second album Eleventh Avenue.[1] It was released in May 1998 on the Murmur Records,[2] just after the album's release and was the last song the band released as a single before breaking up.

The song, together with the other songs on the album was recorded in 1997 at Tarbox Studios[3] in Cassadaga, New York, with producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev).[4][5] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, felt the single showed "melodic rock akin to UK bands like Radiohead or Teenage Fanclub."[6]
