Its lead single "Bittersweet" reached number seven on the US R&B chart. The album also spawned the single "I'm Doin' Me", which has peaked in the top twenty of the US R&B chart.
Fantasia released her fourth studio album, Side Effects of You, on April 23, 2013, which debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and number one on the R&B albums chart.[3] The album is Fantasia's first release on RCA Records after her previous record label J Records dissolved in 2011.
