Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about FRIENDS. By Songfacts®.

"Friends" features the voice of British singer-songwriter Anne-Marie, who was the co-vocalist on Clean Bandit's hit single "Rockabye."

This ode to friend zoning finds Anne-Marie angry with her male pal for trying to move their friendship up to the next level. Haven't I made it obvious? (Have I not made it obvious?) Haven't I made it clear? (I made it very clear) Want me to spell it out for you? (yeah) F-R-I-EN-D-S (I said F-R-I-EN-D-S) The Essex singer has to spell it out for the dude who just doesn't get it.

The song was inspired by an actual male pal of Anne-Marie's who wanted to move their friendship up to the next level. She told The Evening Standard: "The idea came from a boy that I know that's my friend and he kind of he wanted to be more than my friend and I was like 'look brother how many times to I have to tell you we're just friends.'"
