Lyrically, Trey Songz explains a bad breakup between him and his girlfriend and how they cannot be just friends after he fell in love with her.

The music is sampled from a piece known as "Bibo no aozora" composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, released in 1996, which is also used in the 2006 film Babel.

Music video edit

The official music video for this song was released on September 7, 2010.[1] It is highly compared to Usher's "Confessions Part II" and "Trading Places" video, due to the very similar concept. It shows Trey on a chair, in a dark background, singing. As the song continues on, a girl makes her appearance and Trey goes shirtless.

Charts edit

On the week ending October 2, 2010, "Can't Be Friends" debuted at #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 and currently peaked at #43. The song spent 13 consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
