Watch the official music video for “just friends?“ I was inspired to write this song after touring with my friend and fellow Black Opry artist, Denitia. She has a song called “Old Friend” and after hearing the song night after night, I began reflecting on some of my past friendships. I thought of some friends that I am not in contact with anymore and questioned why some of those friendship-endings felt like breakups. I wonder, if I went back knowing who I am now, if those relationships would have ended up differently. With this song, I wanted to capture both the sadness of nostalgia and the beautiful confusion of young love and discovering one’s identity.
