Background
Christensen and Langer first met during the 2006 Danish Music Awards.{{cite magazine |first=Henrik |last=Tuxen |url=http://gaffa.dk/artikel/30918|title=Mads Langer – en bonderøv fra Skive |date=February 5, 2009 |magazine=GAFFA |accessdate=January 1, 2015|language=da}} Langer opened for several of Christensen's shows in 2009, and they collaborated on the song "Say No More", which was released on Langer's eponymous album that same year.{{cite web |first=Lene Skriver |last=Bak |url=http://sondagsavisen.dk/2009/15/mads-langer-har-taget-solbrillerne-af.aspx |title=Mads Langer har taget solbrillerne af |date=April 7, 2009 |publisher=Søndagsavisen |accessdate=January 1, 2015|language=da}}
In March 2014, it was announced that Langer and Christensen would perform together during the Grøn Koncert tour in July 2014.{{cite web|url=http://politiken.dk/kultur/musik/ECE2227652/dizzy-mads-langer-to-rock-pop-idoler-finder-sammen/|title=Dizzy Mads Langer: To rock-pop-idoler finder sammen |date=March 6, 2014 |publisher=ritzau. Politiken |accessdate=January 1, 2015|language=da}} The EP was created with these performances in mind. After an acoustic set, they were joined on stage by bassist Søren Balsner of Carpark North and drummer Birk Nevel. In addition to the songs from Side Effects, they played songs from the repertoires of both Christensen and Langer.{{cite magazine |first=Kristoffer |last=Veirum |url=http://gaffa.dk/anmeldelse/85997 |title=Mads Langer og Tim Christensen, Grøn Koncert, Kolding, torsdag d. 17. juli 2014 |date=July 1, 2014|magazine=GAFFA |accessdate=January 1, 2015|language=da}}
Langer and Christensen wrote four new songs for the EP, and added a mashup of Langer's 2008 song "Fact-Fiction" and the 1993 hit "Silverflame" by Christensen's band Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, which was first played in the DR3 show DR3 Popper Op on February 16, 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.mypresswire.com/dk/pressroom/22083/pressrelease/66546|title=DR3 byder på Mads Langer og Tim Christensen|date=February 1, 2013|publisher=DR.
