"Already Best Friends" initially was supposed to feature singer Tinashe,but her verse on the song was eventually replaced with Chris Brown's. [2]
The song is a hip hop-infused R&B mid-tempo. [3] In "Already Best Friends" Harlow and Brown sing about how they cross paths with two newly formed best friends,which leads to a ménage àtrois situation:"Two at a time,laying in my bed / One on top and the other give me head / Girl on girl I love the taste",Brown sings in a "smooth way",as described by Jade Boren of The Guardian . [4] In the last verse Harlow asks the fictional best friends where their "mans" are,going on to rap,"She said 'What's that?' and they smiled at each other and they both laughed / I don't need a man,she my other half / We got something not a lot of others have / And I feel like I knew her from the past". [4]
The music video for the song was shot in Tulum,Mexico,and published the day of release for the single. [5] In the video,Brown shows off his moves as they walk through a packed party in the jungle. [6]
