My FriendsNeonPunch

An EDM-flavored uptempo track that thrills from the intro, “My Friends” is a song by the girl group NeonPunch, which unfortunately disbanded in 2020 due to various factors including the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was included on their 2019 mini-album WATCH OUT.

The lyrics convey a sense of bond, with lines like “Joy is doubled, sorrow is halved.” It’s reassuring and heartwarming when a beloved friend tells you, “We’re together no matter what.” The lively sound gives you energy too, so be sure to sing it at karaoke and have fun when you’re out with friends!
