My Side of the Mountain (album)

My Side of the Mountain is the second studio album by American alternative pop musician Kat Von D. It was released on September 20, 2024, by Kartel Music Group. The record was written by Von D alongside Bobby Castro, Ferras, Fernando Garibay, Mr. Pharmacist, Sizzy Rocket, Shari Short and Sheppard Solomon, songwriters who had predominantly composed pop music. Von D said she wanted to introduce these writers to the darker elements of pop music and her "goth world".

The album was produced by Von D with Garibay, Paul Mullen, Ramiro Padilla, and Mr. Pharmacist, and features vocal contributions from Ferras and Alissa White-Gluz of Arch Enemy. The album's title was derived from Jean Craighead George's 1959 novel of the same name. Von D read the book as a child, and related to its themes of escapism and isolation. The album's lyrical content also contains references to Charles Baudelaire and other Romantic authors. Musically, it is an alternative pop record, also containing elements of alternative dance, dark wave, goth, new wave, post-punk and synthwave.

The record was preceded by the release of five singles: "Vampire Love", "Dead", "Illusion", "Truth in Reverse" and "Por Ti". Music videos were created for all of these songs, as well as album tracks "With You", "I Am a Machine", "Set Myself on Fire" and "All by Myself". Several of these music videos were created by horror movie director Ryan Valdez. The album received positive reviews from critics upon release, who praised Von D's vocals and the quality of songwriting. She promoted the album with an American tour.
