Example Sentences

"If you come back to America, just hit me up / 'Cause this is crazy love, I'll catch you on the flip side"

Etymology

This phrase comes from when radio DJs played vinyl records. The disks had two sides - on a 45 RPM disk, sides A & B. The song that the record company wanted to promote most heavily would go on the A side. So when a DJ played that side, they'd sometimes say, "And now on the flip side...", and play side B, the lesser known track.
