    "Friends" was the second single from Jody Watley's second album, "Larger Than Life". "Friends" like her previous single "Real Love" became a multi-format top 10 smash, reaching the top ten of the pop, R&B and dance charts, as well as being her biggest single in the UK since her debut "Looking for a New Love". The song was one of the first ever to feature a rap artist (Eric B & Rakim) and a singer.

    "Friends" appeared in the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, the week of July 8, 1989, ascending 54-40. Seven weeks later, the single peaked at #9 for one week.

    In 2006, Watley remade the once successful song for her recent release of "The Makeover," on her Avitone Records label, uniquely titled "Friendz," featuring rapper Voshaun Gotti.
