Background[edit]

If i was your best friend, i want you round all the time (i want you round all the time) can i be your best friend, if you promise youll be mine (girl promise youll be mine) please say hes just a friend (uh huh) now girl lets not pretend (come on) either he is or he aint your man (ha ha!) please say hes just a friend: if i was your best friend. Time went by All I did was cry Sillyyyyy (Whuuuu) If I was your best friend, I want you 'round all the time (I want you 'round me all the time) Can I be your best friend, If you promise you'll be mine (Girl promise you'll be mine) He say he's just a friend (Uh huh) now girl let's not pretend (Come on) Either he is or he ain't your man (Ha Ha!).

The song is by 50 Cent and the remix features Olivia. The song is produced by Hi-Tek. The song also samples the song 'Silly, Wasn't I?' by Valerie Simpson from her self-titled 1972 album for its beat. It also constantly makes references to Biz Markie's 'Just a Friend' chorus.

The original version of the song is used throughout the film as a way for Marcus (the character played by 50 Cent during Marcus' older years) to lyrically tease/flirt Charlene with, when he passes her the tape with the track on it.[citation needed] The beat in the song is actually different from the real version by 50 Cent. In the movie, the 'Best Friend' instrumental is substituted by 'The Bridge Is Over' by KRS-One.

Music video[edit]

A music video for the song was released in 2006, featuring Olivia. The video also features cameos by G-Unit members Mobb Deep, Spider Loc and Hot Rod.
