"Let's Be Friends" is a song by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen, released on February 7, 2020. It was included on the Japanese version of Dedicated Side B.

Background

Jepsen announced the song on social media on February 5, 2020, announcing the title as "Let's Be Friends (Not Really Though)" and sharing its cover art; however, the song was released on streaming services with a shortened title and different cover.

Critical reception

Eric Torres of Pitchfork wrote that the song "doesn’t reach the potent highs of her other work, but as an upbeat one-off that takes pleasure in excising dirtbags from your life, it nails its specific mood".
