Zak Abel’s latest release, “Right Side Of The Bed” focuses on the fragile space between two people when an argument can quickly change the mood. The song deals with the decision to avoid starting another fight, especially when emotions spill into public and the tension threatens to ruin a moment that could have been meaningful. Its writing keeps the situation close and recognizable, making relationship friction the centre of the song.
Written by Kendrick Nicholls, Phil Cook, Shungudzo, and Zak Abel, the track was produced by Mike Spencer, Phil Cook, and Tim Maxey. The production team gives the song a clear creative foundation, while the writing stays focused on communication, restraint, and the consequences of letting conflict take over. The central idea is simple: sometimes keeping the peace matters more than winning an argument.
Right Side Of The Bed is also the first song Abel recorded with a clear sense of how he wanted his album to sound. That makes the track an important marker for the project. It presents a focused relationship story while pointing toward a larger musical direction.
