"Autograph" is a song recorded by Canadian country rock singer Dallas Smith for his third solo studio album, Side Effects (2016). It was written by Nicolle Galyon, Ross Copperman, and Haley Georgia. The song was released to digital retailers on August 19, 2016 through 604 Records as the album's third official single.[1]

Background[]

Smith intended to record the song on his previous album, Lifted (2014), but it was on hold for Keith Urban, who was at the time recording for his 2013 album, Fuse.[2] When the song did not make the final cut of the album, it was offered to Smith again. He "quickly" recorded the song for inclusion on a future project that became Side Effects.[2]
