Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Unfriend You. By Songfacts®.

Several songs on teen singer/songwriter Greyson Chance's debut album Hold On 'Til the Night focus on dealing with heartbreak, including this single. Greyson told Billboard magazine it is a subject he's all too familiar with, even at 13. "When all this first started... they started putting me in the studio and I was cutting records, and it was a mixture of being excited and being very nervous," he said. "I didn't really know who I was at this moment, so I took this record to evolve into myself and put myself in my music. And also, I was going through a heartbreak at the time, and that's where most of the lyrics come from. This record really helped me gain courage and strength, and for the fans, I hope they gain courage and strength from it as well."

Greyson told MTV News why this was chosen as the lead single from his debut album. He explained, "I think 'Unfriend You' is an amazing record because, one, it's a breakup song, which breakup songs are always fun, and two, it's referencing social media, especially in this day and age, I think it's very important to reference social media in music."

The music video features actress and singer Ariana Grande playing Greyson's former girlfriend. Ariana is best known for playing the role of Cat Valentine on Victorious.
