Antonio Larosa Leans Into Grit and Growth on “Right Side Of Over You”

There’s something refreshing about a country song that doesn’t try to clean itself up for radio polish, and on “Right Side Of Over You,” Antonio Larosa leans fully into the mess.

His latest single is a gritty, tongue-in-cheek alt-country rocker that thrives in the aftermath of bad decisions, late nights, and a relationship that was likely doomed from the start. Instead of playing the hero, Larosa flips the script, delivering a narrator who knows he is the problem and is oddly okay with that.

A Breakup Song With a Smirk

At its core, “Right Side Of Over You” lives in that complicated emotional grey area. It is not about heartbreak in the traditional sense. It is about owning your mistakes, laughing at them, and realizing you might be better off anyway.

Larosa captures that feeling with a sharp sense of self-awareness. The character at the centre of the song has spent plenty of nights on the wrong side of things and is not pretending otherwise.

That honesty gives the track its edge. There is frustration here, but also humour and a sense of freedom that starts to creep in once everything falls apart.

Built for the Barroom

Sonically, the track feels exactly like Larosa intended. It is loose, raw, and alive.

Recorded live off the floor in Vancouver with his full band, “Right Side Of Over You” carries a lived-in energy that is hard to fake. It blends alt-country grit with rockabilly swagger, with flashes of Southern rock throughout. It is easy to picture a band tearing through this song in a packed bar after midnight.

That approach pays off. The production, handled by Marcus Ramsay, with mixing and mastering from Brandon Unis, never overcomplicates things. It lets the performance breathe and gives the song its punch and personality.

Influences That Run Deep

Larosa’s sound does not exist in a vacuum. You can hear echoes of artists like Johnny Cash, The Allman Brothers Band, B.B. King, and Roy Orbison woven into the track’s DNA.

What makes “Right Side Of Over You” stand out is how those influences are filtered through Larosa’s own voice. It is a style that blends blues grit, classic country storytelling, and the spirit of vintage rock.

A Defining Moment Ahead of a National Tour

With this release, Larosa continues to carve out his lane in Canada’s roots and alt-country scene. A two-time BCCMA Roots Artist of the Year winner, he is building strong momentum, fuelled by SiriusXM airplay, editorial playlist support, and a live appearance on WSM Radio in Nashville.

“Right Side Of Over You” arrives just as he gears up for his Tried and True Tour, which will take him across the country this spring, with stops in Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, and Vancouver.

If this track is any indication, those shows are going to be loud, loose, and worth showing up for.

“Right Side Of Over You” works because it does not pretend to have all the answers. It embraces the chaos, finds humour in the fallout, and leans into the kind of honesty that makes great country music stick.

Antonio Larosa is not trying to be the good guy here, and that is exactly what makes this song so compelling.

Front Porch

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
