In light of Rebecca Black’s infamously cringeworthy song Friday turning 10, the singer has revamped the tune in collaboration with Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, 3OH!3, and Dylan Brady of 100 gecs.
The remix was released last Friday: a “frenetic hyperpop“ version of the original song Rebecca Black released when she was just 13 years old.

Now 23, Rebecca told Billboard’s Joe Lynch: “They’re all artists I love so much. Dorian and I had become friends over the summer through quarantine, they had me on a song [“Edgelord”] on their latest project. It could have been so random but because I’ve been a fan of the scene — a fan of Dorian, ay, a fan of gecs, obviously 3OH!3 goes way back for me — it made a natural fit.”

“We were becoming friends anyway, so there was no one else who could have done a better job. It’s a community, hyperpop, and they’ve been so welcoming to me over the past few months.”
