"Best Friend" is the seventh track on Supermodel, Foster the People's 2014 second album, and Columbia sent it out that March as the record's third single. Mark Foster wrote it with Isom Innis, and Paul Epworth produced, with Rich Costey mixing; Stewart Cole adds horn, Sean Cimino brings electric guitar and effects, and Foster himself handles piano, synths and percussion.

Ben Brewer's video follows a supermodel who wakes up on the floor with a cigarette, drags herself to a magazine cover shoot and ends up regretful in a restroom, which Foster pitched as a light-touch jab at the fashion business and the pressure it puts on the women who model for it. The song also got the remix treatment from Wave Racer, A-Trak with gLAdiator, and Foster and Innis themselves under the name Smims & Belle.
