Side Effects (May Include Loving You)

A bubblegum pop single

The Metformin prescribing information is a medical document. It lists, in clinical detail, every possible thing that could go wrong with your body. Diarrhea (53.2%). Lactic acidosis. Prompt hemodialysis recommended.

We performed this information as an earnest bubblegum pop banger. Completely sincere. Full sparkle treatment.

Lyrics

[Intro — sparkly synths, bright and bouncy] Hey! Uh huh! Oh yeah!

[Verse 1 — bright and perky] Read the label carefully before you start Some side effects may occur right from the heart Abdominal discomfort, cough or hoarseness, hey! Decreased appetite but that's okay!

Diarrhea, fast or shallow breathing too Fever or some chills, muscle cramping through and through Sleepiness and blurred vision, oh my gosh! Anxiety and cold sweats — but you're hot!

[Pre-Chorus] Check with your doctor immediately If any of the following apply to me:

[Chorus — big bright girl-group harmonies] Confusion! (oh no!) Nightmares! (uh oh!) Shakiness and slurred speech — all for YOU! Seizures! (woo!) Headaches! (yay!) Behavior change similar to being DRUNK! Side effects — may include — loving you!

[Verse 2 — bouncy and carefree] Metallic taste and passing gas, no big deal Bloated full of heartburn, but I like how I feel! Joint pain, stuffy nose and discolored nails! Flush-faced, racing heartbeat — love prevails!

[Pre-Chorus] Dissolves in most cases on its own Or you can call the number on the phone!

[Chorus] Confusion! (oh no!) Nightmares! (uh oh!) Shakiness and slurred speech — all for YOU! Seizures! (woo!) Headaches! (yay!) Behavior change similar to being DRUNK! Side effects — may include — loving you!

[Bridge — whispered then exploding] Prompt hemodialysis is recommended… (But baaaaby — I think I'm in LOVE!)

[Outro — bubblegum fade with handclaps] Side effects, side effects, side effects — you! Side effects, side effects — may include loving you! ✨
