"Friday" is the debut single by American pop singer Rebecca Black, written and produced by Los Angeles record producers Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson. The song's music video was released on February 10, 2011; it was officially released as a single on the iTunes Store on March 14, 2011.[3] The song features a rap verse from Wilson, which was uncredited on the single. Its music video caught a sudden surge of hits after Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax comedian Michael J. Nelson called it "the worst video ever made" on Twitter and the song was featured on the Tosh.0 blog.[4][5][6] The song's reception was highly negative, and it was parodied by numerous artists and comedians.
The original music video was removed from YouTube on June 16, 2011, due to legal disputes between ARK Music and Black.[7] By then, it had already amassed more than 167 million views.[8][9] The video was later re-uploaded to YouTube on September 16, 2011. The music video for the song is one of the most disliked YouTube videos of all time.[10] Since the growth in popularity of the song and video, there have been numerous parody videos and remixes.[11] Forbes stated that the notoriety of the song is another sign of the power of social media—specifically Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, in this instance—in the ability to create "overnight sensations".[12][13]
On February 10, 2021, to commemorate the song's tenth anniversary, Black released an official hyperpop remix produced by Dylan Brady of 100 gecs featuring 3OH!3, Big Freedia and Dorian Electra to more positive reviews.
