Sunshine Coast singer/songwriter Shanleigh Rose has released a new song about heartache.

“We’re Not Friends” will resonate with anyone who has experienced the fallout of a tumultuous relationship.

The song explores the emotional landscape of post-breakup hostility, blending elements of country and pop with a raw and intense edge.

This powerful anthem reminds us that not all relationships need to transition into friendships.

With poignant lyrics such as “cause friends don’t lie and lead you on,” Shanleigh Rose effectively captures the essence of her message with compelling honesty.

“Often, people think they can treat you carelessly and have the audacity to try and call you a friend afterwards,” Shanleigh says.

“In my case, this someone was an ex. I’ve learnt that self-respect and knowing what’s best for you are so much more important than letting your emotions allow the wrong kind of people to stay in your life.”

The realisation only came after Shanleigh had finished penning the song.

“It was a hard lesson to learn, but I got a pretty cool song out of it.”

“We’re Not Friends” will empower others to recognise their self-worth and determine who can call themself a friend.
