Thank You For Being A FriendAndrew Gold
The refreshing piano sound is perfect for May.
It’s a friendship song with a simple message—thank you for being my friend—that really hits home.
Spend time with your friends during Golden Week, and if you fall asleep while listening to this song, it might be the perfect way to end the day.
Come TogetherEchosmith
It’s a refreshing friendship song performed by a four-sibling band.
The lyrics brightly call out, “Let’s go together,” and the clear, gentle vocals and lively, catchy sound make it perfect for a May picnic.
I think it would also be a great track to hype up a drive with friends.
Best FriendFoster The People
Despite the lyrics, the bright sound really pumps me up.
If you have a friend feeling down with the May blues, it might be good to invite them out and listen to them.
Everybody Wants To Love YouJapanese Breakfast
The chorus phrase, “Everyone wants to love you!”, is so cute and uplifting.
If you want to give it to a friend who’s feeling down with the May blues, with the message, “It’s okay, you’ve got friends,” I think it’s the perfect song.
TeamLorde
For those of you who are tired of hyping it up at clubs and parties, this one’s for you.
It’s a friendship song that says: because this town is run-down, you can meet kindred spirits who want to keep their distance from the glitz.
During Golden Week, it might be nice to just relax at home with friends you can truly be yourself around.
FRIENDSMarshmello & Anne-Marie
It’s a song about being confessed to by a childhood friend, getting followed around, and firmly rejecting him by saying we can’t be more than friends—let’s just stay friends from now on.
May is when you’ve gotten used to a new environment and feel like starting something new, but choosing to maintain the status quo in a relationship might also be a courageous decision.

My Friends Over YouNew Found Glory
A little gift for you who just went through a breakup right before Golden Week.
The lyrics boldly proclaim, “I’ll choose my friends over you!” and there’s something refreshingly honest about that.
It’s upbeat punk rock that makes you want to cut loose and have a blast with your crew.
