Will Sass has today released his new track titled ‘Fairweather Friends’ featuring Nina Nesbitt. Pristinely produced and an immersive blend of pop and originality, Will makes a slightly bittersweet message to what life teaches us about friendship and loss mixed with life and love.
I’ll admit; the song is a bit short for me. Just as I was starting to get into it and the track was taking me along for that ride that only good songs can do, it was over. Then I realized that this is exactly how those relationships ended. Maybe it’s cathartic? The meaning of the music put to a hyperbolic end?
‘Fairweather Friends’ is something you learn from as you listen to. The lyrics are eloquent and the music is mesmerizing. And, however short the track may be, you walk away a bit better and less bitter as a result.
About ‘Fairweather Friends’
New York-based artist and producer Will Sass is back with another standout single, “Fairweather Friends” featuring the award-winning Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt. Following his initial releases, “Into The Blue (feat. kamille)” and “Alicia (feat. Alvin Risk), Will continues to bolster his reputation as a boundary-pushing talent who crafts infectious, genre-blurring hits that stick with you long after the first listen.
His new single, “Fairweather Friends,” is a testament to Will’s exceptional talent as a producer and songwriter. The track showcases his ability to craft compelling music, cementing his status as a sought-after collaborator among today’s most talented artists.
Co-written with Nina Nesbitt, “Fairweather Friends” is a bold, anthemic call-out to fleeting, shallow connections. From its opening line—“You loved me on the good days, and ran away when things got heavy”—the track dives headfirst into the painful reality of unreliable relationships. The empowering and instantly catchy chorus, “Saying fairweather to my fairweather friends, this is goodbye, I won’t see you again,” transforms the personal into the universal, delivering a cathartic message for anyone who’s ever had to let go of people who only stick around when it’s convenient. “Everyone has had this experience at some point in their lives where they decide it’s time to cut ties with fake friends,” Will says about the song’s relatable message.
Reflecting on her collaboration with Will, Nina shares, “I’ve spent a lot of time writing with upcoming artists the past couple of years and I have loved working with Will. When he asked me to feature on Fairweather Friends I was really excited to be involved in one of his first releases. I had the pleasure of writing Will’s last song, ‘Into The Blue,’ with him and Kamille, so it’s nice to be singing on this one! He had such a clear story of what ‘Fairweather Friends’ meant to him, so it’s great to be able to bring it to life together.”
