MARSHMELLO - FRIENDS SONG AND HANDOUT

“FRIENDS” is a pop song by American DJ Marshmello. The track is a collaboration with British singer Anne-Marie and is on her long-awaited debut album, Speak Your Mind.

The song centers on the idea of “friend-zoning” someone. Anne-Marie narrates her experience warding off unwanted romantic advances from a friend, repeatedly telling this person that they’re nothing more than “F-R-I-E-N-D-S.” The song marks the first collaboration between Marshmello and Anne-Marie.

This popular song will help your students learn English through lyrics. For this reason, here you can find a handout and links for the two videos, one with no lyrics and the other one, easier for students to follow.
