A lovely friendship song

Songs to give to friends who like Western music. World-famous and popular songs.

When you want to convey feelings to a friend that you don’t usually say directly, how do you get them across?

Putting those feelings into music and sending it—especially when it’s embarrassing or feels too late to say because you’re so close—might be one way to express yourself.

This time, we’ve put together a special feature on Western songs to give to friends!

MKTO’s music videos always convey the feeling of their friendship and make them fun to watch.

This song encourages us with the message that no matter what your roots are, you can achieve your dreams.

I dedicate it to you, who moved to the big city with a friend to chase your dreams, working hard without giving in to the May blues.

Marshmello & Anne-Marie – FRIENDS (Music Video) *OFFICIAL FRIENDZONE ANTHEM*
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

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.

All My FriendsOwl City

Lyrics that sing, “No one can tear our friendship apart!” The drama-style music video—featuring a young man who dreams of becoming a musician as he works a late-night cleaning job at a school before dashing out into the city—is truly compelling.

During Golden Week, it might be nice to visit friends you’ve grown distant from since the new school year began.

These DaysTake That

A male pop group emblematic of the ’90s.

After member departures, disbandment, and a reunion, this song—singing that we’ll someday look back on these days—conveys the bond among the members.

It’s a perfect friendship anthem for the warm, sunny days of May that lifts your spirits.
