"Best Friend" is a song by American rapper Saweetie, released on January 7, 2021 as the third single from her debut studio album "Pretty Bitch Music". The song features American singer and rapper Doja Cat, and was written by the two performers along with Asia Smith, Kaine, Theron Thomas, Dr. Luke and Rocco Did It Again!, with the latter two being its producers. Dr. Luke also produced the album's lead single, "Tap In".
On December 4, 2020, "Best Friend" was released prematurely on streaming platforms. Saweetie later took to social media to express her disappointment in her record label, Warner Records, in regards to handling the release.
She stated: "I am extremely disappointed in my label WBR for prematurely releasing a single I was so excited about. I feel disrespected. I'm hands on with ALL of my creative & had such a dope rollout for 'best friends'. The thirst for clout & $ is real & it overrides the artists' art." The single was later taken off streaming services the following day.
"Best Friend" was then officially released on January 7, 2021 for digital download and streaming. The track was sent to both contemporary hit radio and rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States on January 12, 2021.
The song's first official remix features vocals from British rapper Stefflon Don.
While the second features Chinese rapper VaVa.
A third, with New Zealand rapper JessB and Australian singer Okenyo.
A fourth, with South Korean singer Jamie and South Korean/Japanese rapper Chanmina,
and fifth, with German rapper Katja Krasavice, were also released. The German Remix debuted at number one in Germany, becoming the first number-one single there for both Saweetie and Doja Cat.
