Friday

Music video

"Friday" is a music video by American singer Rebecca Black, released in 2011. It became an early internet sensation, garnering massive views despite initial criticism. The video was written and produced by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson, featuring a rap verse by Wilson. It was first posted on YouTube on February 10, 2011, and quickly gained attention after being featured on the Tosh.0 blog and ridiculed by comedian Michael J. Nelson. The video's viral success led to it becoming a meme, with numerous parodies and remixes. Despite its negative reception, it amassed over 167 million views before being temporarily removed due to legal disputes. "Friday" remains one of the most disliked YouTube videos, but it has also been celebrated for its inadvertent humor and cultural impact. Rebecca Black has since continued her music career, releasing more personal and reflective works. The song's legacy as an internet phenomenon continues to fascinate audiences.
