[Intro: RuPaul & Jessie Reyez]
If you can't love yourself
How in the hell you gon' love somebody else?

I’m Not Here To Make Friends was written by Sam Smith & Jessie Reyez & Mikkel Storleer Eriksen & Tor Erik Hermansen & Calvin Harris.
I’m Not Here To Make Friends was produced by Sam Smith & StarGate & Calvin Harris.
Sam Smith released I’m Not Here To Make Friends on Fri Jan 27 2023.
This song was made with Calvin Harris, StarGate, me and Jessie Reyez. It was a joy to make. I went on a date the night before and I was just so sick of going on dates where people treated me like a friend or just wanted to meet me because I’m Sam Smith. Even though the song has nothing to do with it...
The song debuted at #71 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart during the week ending February 11, 2023.
The song has also peaked at #23 on the UK Singles chart, as well as #32 on the Canadian Hot 100.
