Wildside was an album released in September 1987 by the Canadian rock band Loverboy.^[3] This was the first album that the band had released that did not go platinum, signaling a general decline in the band's success.

Although the band had enjoyed a hit single the previous year with the song "Heaven In Your Eyes", which was featured in the soundtrack for the film Top Gun, it was not included in the track listing for this album.
