The Weekend: Friday is an EP by American pop punk band Forever the Sickest Kids. It was released on November 17, 2009 worldwide through Universal Republic.

Background

The EP was originally intended to be a mini-LP, and was to be the first part of The Weekend series, with Saturday and Sunday following. However, as a large amount of songs were written, the band decided to release a full-length self-titled album instead.[2] On November 12, five days before its official release, the band streamed the entire EP on their MySpace page.

The first single from the EP, "What Do You Want from Me", was originally released on October 30. A music video was later released on YouTube in late December.[3]

The second single from the EP was "She Likes (Bittersweet Love)". In April 2010, the band had posted multiple teaser videos on their YouTube account in preparation for the release of the full music video for the song, which was later released on April 19.[4][5]
