"These Are My Friends", styled in lowercase, was the second single from American indie pop band Lovelytheband, out on May 11, 2018, and later part of their album finding it hard to smile. Singer Mitchy Collins has called it a song about everyone in his life and the good and bad inside him: people he doesn't always get along with but loves anyway, because they are part of who he is.
Collins wrote it with Christian Medice, who also plays keyboards and produced it with Charlie Park and Nick Zagorin; Park mixed it and Ashton Irwin is on drums. Collins, Medice, Jordan Greenwald and Sam Price stack up the backing vocals, and the blog frtyfve made it its track of the day, hearing an ode to friendship with a chorus built for singing along. Hoeg/Beach directed the video, which came out through Red Music that July.
