When you’re truly hurting, you need someone who will stay by your side.

A strong, resolute singing voice and a message that speaks to you are deeply moving.

A gentle sound that’s perfect for listening in May.

The lyrics are striking, as if they’re about soulmates or twin flames, making it a memorable friendship song.

The music video, which conveys the bond between two girls, is also cute.

Recommended for anyone who has a friend they’re as close to as a sibling.

My SameAdele

It’s a song themed around true friendship.

It’s included on Adele’s debut album, 19.

Even among friends, everyone has their own values and ways of thinking; this song stands out for showing how they accept each other’s opinions, and it’s a great recommendation for a September night.

FriendsElton John

It’s not widely known that Elton John did the soundtrack for the film Friends—Paul and Michelle, which was especially popular in Japan.

The theme song became a minor hit in the United States at the time, but the soundtrack was later discontinued.

It wasn’t released on CD until 1992.

Mariah Carey scored a huge hit with her cover of the Jackson 5’s “I’ll Be There,” and “Anytime You Need a Friend” is similarly a friendship-themed song.

It’s a good track, but as a single it underperformed for her and missed the top ten.
