In an interview with Coup De Main, Humberstone discussed the process behind writing the song:
It was the relationship that kind of ended over lockdown and it was before I had admitted to myself that I wasn’t fully invested in this person anymore and I wasn’t really happy in the relationship, but I...
[Intro]
Hello
[Verse 1]
We had a mutual friend who played cupid
You jumped in the bed and been there ever since
Teenage affection is often confusing
I'm starting to feel like it's wearing thin
[Pre-Chorus]
Darling, I don't remember how I'm supposed
To feel at your place, when we're watching TV
And if you start to wonder why
I just stare into space, when you're talking to me
[Chorus]
You were there, where was I?
Know that somewhere down the line
If I hurt you, it's just friеndly fire
Well, it happens all thе time, guess I'm broken by design
If I burn you, it's all friendly fire
[Verse 2]
We had a shelf life, but neither believed it
We just gave up reading the signs
I make conversation to fill every silence
Then put on my headphones and cry
[Pre-Chorus]
It's been a cold December
God knows that I've been a state
Oh, woe is me, I know
But you're making plans forever
But God knows if I'm gonna stay or if I'd rather be alone
[Chorus]
You were there, where was I?
Know that somewhere down the line
If I hurt you, it's just friendly fire
Well, it happens all the time, guess I'm broken by design
If I burn you, it's all friendly fire

My relationship—like a lot of people's—broke down during the pandemic. It was my first proper relationship and I really cared for this person. But, especially with being really busy with my music, I didn’t have any spare emotional energy. I wrote this song a few weeks before I ended it, and it made...
The video for Friendly Fire came together literally 4 hours before it was shot! It was closing in on Halloween and we were wide eyed looking at all the streets dressed up. A lot had been going on that day and I wasn’t really ready to shoot a video but we were staying in Brooklyn, New York and found...
