The Regent Park School Of Music Youth Choir plays and sing the backing vocals on this track. 'It's Nice To Have A Friend' samples their track "Summer in the South" from the album 'Parkscapes'. Richard Marsella, executive director of The Regent Park School Of Music, explained producer Frank Dukes' efforts on this track by saying, "Frank knew he was going to be working with Taylor Swift and we knew there was a chance -- we always dreamed this would happen. It resonated with her, and he started talking so passionately about what we do here." 'It's Nice To Have A Friend' is the shortest song among all of Taylor Swift's tracks at the time of the 'Lover' album's release.
School bell rings, walk me home Sidewalk chalk covered in snow Lost my gloves, you give me one "Wanna hang out?" Yeah, sounds like fun Video games, you pass me a note Sleeping in tents It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) Light pink sky up on the roof Sun sinks down, no curfew 20 questions, we tell the truth You've been stressed out lately, yeah, me too Something gave you the nerve To touch my hand It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) Church bells ring, carry me home Rice on the ground looks like snow Call my bluff, call you "Babe" Have my back, yeah, every day Feels like home, stay in bed The whole weekend It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) It's nice to have a friend (Ooh) (Ooh)
