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.

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.

The gentle tones of the acoustic guitar are perfect for a calm May evening now that it’s fully warm.

It’s a song written when Noel Gallagher, after announcing his departure from the band due to a quarrel with his brother, reconciled and returned.

Recommended for when you’ve had a fight with a close friend.

LandslideOh Wonder

Perfect for listening to in the warm May weather.

The gentle voices of a man and a woman, as if softly telling you, “You can get through this, I’m here with you,” are sure to soothe you.

Even if you’re worn down by the May blues, it might remind you of friends who stand by your side.

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.
