Rihanna, The Smurfs & “Friend Of Mine“: Untangling a Fandom Expectation
A wave of anticipation rippled through Rihanna’s fanbase with whispers of a new track, “Friend Of Mine,” gracing the Smurfs movie soundtrack, fueled by her previous involvement with the animated characters.
While RiRi has indeed embraced motherhood and teased her long-awaited R9 album, stating that her third pregnancy will not halt her musical endeavors, “Friend-Of-Mine” for a Smurfs film appears to be a confirmed release. Though her connection to the Smurfs franchise exists, this particular song remains elusive.
The focus for eager listeners remains on any official announcements regarding her upcoming music, with “Friend-Of-Mine” seemingly existing more in the realm of verifiable fact. The world still awaits R9, and any unexpected releases, Smurf-related or otherwise, would undoubtedly create a significant stir.
Quotable Lyrics:
Ooh, I think the word here is “déjà-vu”
Just met you tonight, but you feel like a friend-of-mine
Feel like a friend-of-mine, feel like a friend-of-mine
Feel like a friend-of-mine, feel like a friend-of-mine
How can so familiar be so brand new?
Just met you tonight, but you feel like a friend-of-mine
