"Friends" is a song written by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson and Al Jardine for the American pop band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1968 album "Friends". It was also released as a single, with the B-side of the single being "Little Bird". The single peaked at #47 in the U.S. and #25 in the U.K. The song was recorded in March, 1968.

Brian once stated, "The cut 'Friends' was, in my opinion, a good way to keep waltzes alive. Carl had sung "Darlin'" and some others before and now he spearheaded this cut with a heavy vocal performance."

As Peter Reum, a Beach Boys historian, stated "'Friends' is a waltz, and it's been used at the Berklee College of Music to teach students how to write in 3/4 time."

Someone can be heard sneezing in the track at 2:01.
