[Best Friend] Western friendship songs for women: classic tracks to dedicate to your cherished friends (21–30)
Anytime You Need A FriendMariah Carey
A 1994 single release by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey.
It’s a mid-tempo song that incorporates elements of pop, R&B, and gospel, celebrating the importance of friendship.
The climactic choral section makes it a beautifully memorable track.
FriendsWhy Don’t We
“Friends” by the American boy group Why Don’t We, who made their first visit to Japan at Summer Sonic in 2018.
It’s included on their first album released in 2018.
As the title suggests, it’s a song about friends (lol).
The percussion sounds are soothing, giving the track a very moody feel.
It’s a friendship song that captures the vibe of youth—casual conversations with friends and enjoying the weekend together.

You Can Cry TomorrowBetty Who
The song by Australian pop artist Betty Who expresses encouragement and support for women with hearts wounded by heartbreak.
Gently portraying the process of recovery through friendship and support, it aims to provide strength to get through dark times.
Included on the album “The Valley,” released on March 24, 2017, it is one of the works that showcases her musical style—shaped by 1980s synthpop and 1990s dance-pop—and her growth as an artist.
It’s a recommended track for those facing the pain of a breakup, as well as for anyone who wants to support a friend going through one.
By depicting personal inner turmoil and its overcoming, this song moves many listeners while offering hope for tomorrow.
Count On MeBruno Mars
From danceable numbers to swoon-worthy ballads, Bruno Mars captures listeners’ hearts with a wide range of songs.
This particular track has a warm, Hawaiian vibe.
“Count On Me” means “You can rely on me!”—it’s perfect for dedicating to a dear friend.
How about practicing the ukulele and giving a singing-and-playing performance as a gift? It’s a song we’d love you to hear by the seaside.
One And The SameSelena Gomez & Demi Lovato
Many people probably admired the two singing “We’re exactly the same!” over a catchy pop-rock tune.
Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato both came from the Disney Channel, rose to fame as teen idols, and were best friends in their private lives.
Their collaboration “One and the Same” was created as a track for the soundtrack of the Disney Channel Original Movie Princess Protection Program, which aired in 2009.
It was also included on the Disney Channel Playlist released that same year, and those who listened back then may find it irresistibly nostalgic.
Although their relationship as adults seems to have changed, the song’s brilliance remains the same.
It’s a classic friendship anthem, especially recommended for teens.
Always Be TogetherLittle Mix
Little Mix is a girl group that has achieved success not only in their home country of the UK but also in the United States.
They are known for winning Season 8 of the popular audition show The X Factor, becoming the first girl group in the show’s history to take the title.
Armed with the powerful performances and solid vocal ability of four distinctly different members, they have continued to produce many hit songs.
Here, let’s look at Always Be Together, a track from their debut album DNA released in 2012.
As the title suggests—meaning something like “We’ll always be together”—the lyrics gently care for and encourage a dear friend.
They are easy to understand even for those who struggle with English, and their simplicity makes the song especially relatable.
Having someone by your side who tells you, with strength, “I’m here,” is truly reassuring, isn’t it?
MONOPOLYAriana Grande and Victoria Monét
For this song, I highly recommend checking out the music video, where you can enjoy the two of them looking adorably close.
Released in 2019, “MONOPOLY” set a record by spending a total of eight weeks at No.
1 in the U.S.
It’s a collaboration between Ariana Grande—one of the leading young pop stars in today’s music scene—and her close friend Victoria Monét.
Beyond Ariana’s outlook on life, likened to a make-believe game of life on the classic board game, the comfortable closeness and vibe between two artists who truly know each other is wonderful.
In particular, the latter half of the song includes lyrics about their friendship, making it a great pick as a heartwarming friendship anthem.
As a side note, Victoria Monét has long been Ariana’s songwriting partner, and she made her full-fledged solo debut in 2020 with her project “Jaguar,” so be sure to check that out as well!
