What did Rebecca Black say about "Friday"?
Genius Answer

Rebecca Black shares all the details, from start to finish, of how the massive internet moment changed her life.

On February 11, 2020, Black reflected on the nine year anniversary of the song and its impact on her life:

Above all things, i just wish i could go back and talk to my 13 year old self who was terribly ashamed of herself and afraid of the world,“ she penned in a Notes app screenshot that she posted on Twitter. "To my 15 year old self who felt like she had nobody to talk to about the depression she faced. to my 17 year old self who would get to school only to get food thrown at her and her friends. to my 19 year old self who had almost every producer/songwriter tell me they’d never work with me. hell, to myself a few days ago who felt disgusting when she looked in the mirror!. I’m trying to remind myself more and more that every day is a new opportunity to shift your reality and lift your spirit. you are not defined by any one choice or thing. time heals and nothing is finite. it’s a process that’s never too late to begin. and so, here we go!

Do any other versions of the song exist?
Genius Answer

A version of the song, which features a rap verse from Patrice Wilson exists, but was never officially released as a digital download. The version with his rap can be seen on the music video. The only version released digitally is a version that only includes Rebecca Black.

Did Rebecca Black feel that "Friday" was a good song?
Genius Answer

I would love to say that I knew what a good song was at that time, but I didn’t. I was 13 and definitely hadn’t found my world in music at all. I was a huge Justin Bieber fan – I had a shrine in my room. My mom grounded me with a lot of latin pop, and with my dad it was everything from The Eagles to Earth, Wind & Fire. As a teenager, I just listened to what were the top songs at the time. So I didn’t really care if “Friday” was a good song or not, it was more like, “This is mine!”
