"Friends" is a song recorded by American singer Blake Shelton. It was released as the first promotional single from Shelton's tenth studio album, If I'm Honest (2016). It is the theme song to the 2016 animated film The Angry Birds Movie where Shelton provided voice-over for a pig.[1] The track was written by both Shelton and Jessi Alexander, who had collaborated before on Blake Shelton's "Drink on It", and "Mine Would Be You".

The song is about two unlikely friends sticking together, despite them being "different as different can be". The song describes how friends may fight, but "in the end [they] are gonna be friends".[2]

The song was issued as a digital download on April 8, 2016. A music video for the song was also released.[3]
