“Real Friends” is an introspective track from Camila Cabello in which she struggles to find genuine friends:
This song is about feeling lonely and disilluded by people in LA while I was away from home
On December 6, a day before the release of “Real Friends,” Camila tweeted that the single’s cover...
[Verse 1]
No, I think I'll stay in tonight
Skip the conversations and the "Oh, I'm fine's"
No, I'm no stranger to surprise
This paper town has let me down too many times
Why do I even try?
Give me a reason why
I thought that I could trust you, never mind
Why all the switching sides?
Where do I draw the line?
I guess I'm too naive to read the signs
[Chorus]
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
Every time I let somebody in
Then I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Wonder where they're all hidin' out
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Gotta get up out of this town (Oh, ooh)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah
[Verse 2]
I stay up, talkin' to the moon (Ooh)
Been feelin' so alone in every crowded room
Can't help but feel like somethin's wrong, yeah
'Cause the place I'm livin' in
Just doesn't feel like home
[Chorus]
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
Every time I let somebody in
Then I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Wonder where they're all hidin' out
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Gotta get up out of this town
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
Lookin' for some real friends
Oh, oh-oh
[Bridge]
I just wanna talk about nothin'
With somebody that means something
Spell the names of all the dreams and demons
For the times that I don't understand
Tell me, what's the point of a moon like this
When I'm alone again?
Can I run away to somewhere beautiful
Where nobody knows my name?
[Chorus]
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
Then, I let somebody in
But I find out what they're all about
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
All they ever do is let me down
I'm just lookin' for some real friends
Gotta get up out of this town, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Oh (Ah)
Oh, yeah, ah
Real Friends was written by Mustafa & Ging & Brian Lee & Camila Cabello & Billy Walsh & Louis Bell.
Real Friends was produced by Louis Bell & Ging.
Camila Cabello released Real Friends on Thu Dec 07 2017.
She spoke about the song in a twitter post saying:
I finished real friends 2 weeks ago and it almost didn’t make the album because the deadline was so close…this song is about feeling lonely and disillusioned by people in LA while I was away from home.
Although producer Louis Bell believes that Camila connects this song to her leaving Fifth Harmony, Camila has denied it:
“Real Friends” is not about that (her leaving 5H) at all. I wrote “Real Friends” just before it was released, it’s so new. (In L.A.) I felt lonely. I didn’t really have a social...
“Real Friends” was the last song we wrote for the album. It started off with this chorus idea and then the next day I wrote the verses and the bridge super fast. Then, a week later, it was out. Just nuts!
