Friends (feat. Marshmello)

You say you love me, I say you're crazy
We're nothing more than friends
You're not my lover, more like a brother
I know you since we were like ten, yeah

Don't mess it up, talking that shit
Only gonna push me away, that's it!
When you say you love me, that make me crazy
Here we go again

Don't go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain't going away without a fight
You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I've told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-EN-D-S
Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-EN-D-S
F-R-I-EN-D-S

Have you got no shame? You looking insane
Turning up at my door
It's two in the morning, the rain is pouring
Haven't we been here before?

Don't mess it up, talking that shit
Only gonna push me away, that's it!
Have you got no shame? You looking insane
Here we go again

So don't go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain't going away without a fight
You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I've told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

Haven't I made it obvious? (Haven't I made it?)
Haven't I made it clear? (Haven't I made it clear?)
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-EN-D-S
Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear? (Haven't I?)
Want me to spell it out for you? (Want me to spell it out for you?)
F-R-I-EN-D-S
F-R-I-EN-D-S

F-R-I-E-N-D-S
That's how you f*cking spell friends
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
Get that shit inside your head
No, no, yeah, uh, ahh
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
We're just friends

So don't go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain't going nowhere without a fight (a fight, na na)
You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I've told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times (yeah)

Haven't I made it obvious? (Have I not made it obvious?)
Haven't I made it clear? (Yeah, I made it very clear)
Want me to spell it out for you? (Yo)
F-R-I-EN-D-S (I said F-R-I-E-N-D-S)
Haven't I made it obvious? (I made it very obvious)
Haven't I made it clear? (I made it very clear)
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-EN-D-S
F-R-I-EN-D-S

A Linha Tênue da Amizade em Friends de Anne-Marie e Marshmello

A música 'Friends', uma colaboração entre a cantora britânica Anne-Marie e o produtor de música eletrônica Marshmello, aborda a temática da 'friendzone', um termo popular que descreve uma situação onde uma pessoa deseja iniciar um relacionamento romântico, mas a outra prefere manter apenas a amizade. A letra é um diálogo direto e franco de Anne-Marie com um amigo que insiste em querer algo mais do que amizade, apesar de suas repetidas recusas.

Através de uma linguagem coloquial e até mesmo um tom de confronto, Anne-Marie expressa sua frustração com a insistência do amigo, comparando-o a um irmão e destacando a longevidade de sua amizade desde a infância. A repetição da frase 'Haven't I made it obvious?' (Não tornei isso óbvio?) e a soletração da palavra 'FRIENDS' servem como um refrão pegajoso e uma declaração enfática de que não há espaço para mal-entendidos na relação deles.

A música, que mistura elementos do pop com a batida eletrônica característica de Marshmello, foi um sucesso comercial e se destacou nas paradas de vários países. O tema universal da friendzone, combinado com a energia vibrante da faixa, ressoou com muitos ouvintes que já se encontraram em situações semelhantes. 'Friends' é um exemplo de como a música pop pode transformar dilemas pessoais em hinos de empoderamento e autoafirmação.
