Chicago, Illinois-based rock band Real Friends have just released a brand new song, “Tell Me You’re Sorry.” The single is the first taste of new music from the band since they returned and released their Torn In Two EP back in September of 2021 via Pure Noise Records.
Speaking about the new song Real Friends explain ‘We all have loved ones in our lives that have hurt us. Sometimes those people just keep living their lives as if they never even hurt us. They think since the situation has blown over that there’s no need for an apology. But at the end of the day, we all need that closure of a proper apology for those wounds to heal. “Tell Me You’re Sorry” explores the struggles of not being able to heal without hearing the simple words “I’m Sorry” from the person that wronged you. This is a very personal song for a few of us in the band. It is rooted from numerous strained relationships in our lives. We hope our fans will hear this song and connect with it. If the words and energy of this song can help one listener feel less alone, then we accomplished what we wanted to do with “Tell Me You’re Sorry.”‘
