The Weeknd’s Popular Song Rankings [2025]

Best FriendsThe Weeknd22rank/position

The Weeknd – Best Friends (Audio)

When it comes to graduation songs, ballads are what most people imagine.

So I’d like to introduce an electronic track with a deliberately cool vibe instead.

It’s called “Best Friends.” In a sense, it’s a ‘bestie anthem,’ portraying the inner conflict of a guy who starts developing romantic feelings for his close friend.

By the end of the song, it’s implied that he decides to hold those feelings back.

By the way, the lyrics are a bit explicit, so if you plan to play it somewhere, you might want to check them in advance.
