On “Friends,” Francis and the Lights combines with rapper Kanye West as well as Bon Iver (the two of which have worked together on multiple occasions including the songs “Lost in the World” and “Hold My Liquor.”) Interestingly, following Francis' feature on the Chance the Rapper’s “Summer Friends” he gained comparisons to Bon Iver and the two combine brilliantly here. Kanye also said it was his favorite song of the year.
The video to the song was released 7th July and was promoted by Chance before the video release. It was directed by Paper Towns' director Jake Schreier.
