Friends was a project Elton John and Bernie Taupin took on before their breakout success in the United States. It was recorded as the soundtrack to the film Friends. The title track was a minor hit in the U.S. (#34 on the pop chart) despite the poor performance of the movie.

The rights to the soundtrack are now with Universal Music Group, which shares ownership of Elton John's music with him.

The Friends soundtrack is also available on the Rare Masters (1992) CD, tracks 10 - 19.
