[Best Friend] Western friendship songs for women: classic tracks to dedicate to your cherished friends (21–30)
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.
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.

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.
That’s My Best FriendTokyo Vanity
Tokyo Vanity is a rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States.
Her music is filled with positive messages that celebrate the bonds of friendship and mutually supportive relationships.
The song released in June 2015 is notable for its lyrics about having fun with a best friend and sincerely praising them.
It resonated with many people through social media and became widely known.
It’s a recommended track for when you want to look back on memories with a close friend or express gratitude to a friend.
It’s a work that everyone who values sisterhood should definitely listen to.
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.
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!
Baby, I’m Jealous (ft. Doja Cat)Bebe Rexha
To make it clear from the start, this song, “Baby, I’m Jealous,” isn’t themed around friendship.
It’s based on the personal experiences of Bebe Rexha, a popular singer from the United States, and directly addresses the anxieties of living in the age of social media.
The track brilliantly expresses inner emotions such as jealousy and insecurity that arise in the social media space, where we’re constantly forced to compare ourselves to others, and its narrative-style music video aligns with the song’s content.
It’s also great that Doja Cat—who’s known for her sharp musical sensibilities and bold fashion—joins as a guest.
According to Bebe Rexha, the song carries the message that women are pitted against each other, yet we should still strive to love ourselves.
I chose this track as one I hope you’ll share with friends who may be dealing with similar struggles.
