“ARE WE STILL FRIENDS” features Tyler, The Creator wrestling the thought of whether or not he and his former lover can remain friends, thematically wrapping up the album and closing out the arc of falling in love, losing that love, trying to convince himself he’s over it, and then bargaining to find some way to have them still in his life. The track combines a funky beat, crooning guitar, and synths with soft singing throughout.

Pharrell Williams has made an appearance on every Tyler record since 2013. He first showed up on “IFHY” off Wolf, he can be heard on the first verse of “KEEP DA O’S” off Cherry Bomb, and he sang on the outro for “Enjoy Right Now, Today” off Flower Boy.

The guitar solo was performed by Jack White. The song samples Al Green’s “Dream,” emulating the keys, guitar, and backing vocals.
