Sammie – Friend Zone

Sammie is back, amid the global pandemic to lighten heavy hearts with his nostalgic brand new single, “Friend Zone.” In true Sammie fashion, “Friend Zone” is inspired by the R&B crooner’s true life experiences. In the song, Sammie pours out his heart and silent frustrations to a female friend whom he deeply wants to explore a relationship with, but she’s got him stuck in the “friend zone.” The uptempo confessional hook openly confesses the R&B heartthrob ‘s love for this woman and his distress…”Baby, I can’t be your friend no more….(I love you), Girl it’s written, yeah it’s spiritual…(I love you). And I think it’s time I let you know….(I love you). But you got me in the friend zone, friend zone.”

Sammie unabashedly reveals the story behind “Friend Zone”: ” ‘I’ve been a close friend to someone for over a decade, and we’ve never crossed that line, even though our friends and family even feel we are meant to be more than just friends. Maybe it’s the fear of losing what we have if we truly dived in. Or the notion that what if it’s just curiosity, but no true romantic flow there? So best friends we remain. I wanted to write about how always being there for her during her trials with her lover, and in life in general, makes me truly feel to the core. I’m sure many men can relate, as well as woman who’s friend zoned a man for whatever reason….I felt it would resonate.”

“Friend Zone” was written by Sammie Lee Bush and produced by 50 on the Pub.

Empire signed a venture with Sammie and is set to release his new album late Summer 2020.
