Songfacts®:

  • "We're All Friends" from DEC3's debut self-titled album is the fifth track on it. The song is about Facebook and the character in it portrays the social media obsessed generation well. DEC3's guitarist and songwriter, Jon Haber, explained in our interview why he wrote a tune about that topic. "I wanted to come up with something a little bit different than these straight love songs all the time," he said.

    The lyrics describe the mundane tasks that people feel the need to share on Facebook such as waking up, brushing your teeth, and posting pictures of your meal while on a date. "I made the song kind of humorous, tongue-in-cheek, but really sarcastic," revealed Haber. "He's the same as everybody else so it's self-deprecating as well and that's why it works. He's not better than anybody else in the song. He is everybody else."
