While Justin has never confirmed that "Friends" is about Selena, the lyrics and the timing of the song's release seem to suggest that it is. Not only does Justin talk about a failed relationship, but he stays hopeful that he and his ex can be still remain friends. Justin also released "Friends" in the Summer of 2017, which just so happens to be around the same time he reconnected with Selena following her kidney transplant. Coincidence? I think not.
