"Stripper Friends" is the second single from Tila Tequila. The single was released to iTunes on October 9, 2007.[1][2]
A modified version was used as the opening to A Shot at Love II with Tila Tequila. The song is a cover of Aimee Allen's "Stripper Friends", which was recorded in 2002 on her album I'd Start a Revolution If I Could Get Up in the Morning with Elektra Records, but was dropped due to a corporate merger. Kevin Michael also reworked the song and covered it in 2007 under the title "We All Want the Same Thing". In 2008, iTunes released an EP containing five remixes of "Stripper Friends".

Music video
The music video for "Stripper Friends" was shot in December 2007 in a Los Angeles strip club. Amanda Ireton, from Tila's reality show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, also made a cameo in the video as a stripper. The plot of the music video involves Tila Tequila portraying a stripper, who is in a relationship with another female stripper at the club where they work. After Tila finds her girlfriend giving a very special private dance to another man, she confronts her girlfriend and flees from the club only to come face-to-face with the same man. She makes to grab him by his collar, but decides to kiss him passionately instead. The two return to the club and cloister themselves in a private booth until they are interrupted by Tila's girlfriend, who catches the two in the act. The girlfriend walks away in disgust. Tila then kicks her male suitor out and closes the private booth curtain. The music video premiered via Yahoo! Music on February 26, 2008 and became available via iTunes on March 4, 2008.
Behind the scenes
Tila also posted a total of five "behind the scenes" videos recorded from the set of the video shoot. Four videos were recorded by a camera crew and one was recorded by Tila Tequila herself from her own camera. They are all available for viewing at Tila's official website.[3]
