| Song |
"Just Friends" is a song written, produced and performed by American rapper/producer Danny!. Originally a hidden track on the Japanese version of his 2007 Danny Is Dead EP, Definitive Jux Records released the live version of "Just Friends" as a single domestically on March 10, 2009 in anticipation for his as-yet-untitled debut album for the label. A studio version will appear on the upcoming album.
The song is performed over an extended version of "Twilight Mist", which was originally released on Danny!'s 2006 instrumental album Dream, Interrupted. A remix of "Wanderland" (from Danny!'s lauded And I Love H.E.R.: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) can be found on the album's B-side. The single was released to little fanfare in the United States, barely cracking the Billboard Hot 100 in its first week at # 88[1], but managed to pick up steam overseas when it was shipped to the United Kingdom two weeks later.
"Just Friends"'s cover art, designed by Danny!, pays homage to the cover art found on George Masso and Ken Peplowski's collaborative jazz album, also titled Just Friends[2].
