This Mario Winans produced ballad is the second single from R&B singer-songwriter Trey Songz's fourth studio album, Passion, Pain & Pleasure. The song finds Songz longing for a lost love.
The song samples Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Bibo no Aozora" from the 2006 international film Babel.
Songz told MTV News this song about platonic friends crossing the line shows his more mature side. He explained: "There comes a point in an artist's career where, after you've reached a certain level of success, people are looking for you to bring them the real, bring them something to just connect with. 'Can't Be Friends' is a record that I feel everyone can relate to at some point or another ... it's going back to classic Trey."
