During the recording process of One Long Dream, SonReal was able to cope with the loss of his father — who had passed shortly before he signed his major label deal in 2016 — during its completion. “My Friend” is the Vancouver native’s bittersweet ode to him.

Produced by R&B legend Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, the track will be the bonus track on a deluxe edition of One Long Dream. “‘My Friend’ is a piece of music that had to be made,” Son described to Zane Lowe during a recent interview. “It’s one of those songs that become things that you add to your playlist or collection and stay with you for the rest of your life.”
