| Song |
"Friend or Foe" is t.A.T.u.'s second single from Dangerous and Moving, released in December 2005.
The song has ambiguous lyrics; it is unsure who, in particular, they are singing about.
Collaborators
The single was co-written by David A. Stewart of the Eurythmics, whilst Sting played bass and his old All For Love partner Bryan Adams shot the cover photograph. However this was not enough to interest the British public, as the single just made it in to the Top 50 and spent 1 week in the Top 75. In addition, it performed poorly in various charts all over Asia.
Music video
From October 16, 2005 to October 17, 2005, t.A.T.u. shot their video in the Los Angeles suburbs, directed by James Cox.
The video was shot at Bronson Caves in Hollywood by 1171 Production Group. The group previously worked with such t.A.T.u videos as "All About Us" and "Люди Инвалиды" and has experience in making videos for Eminem and Celine Dion. Bronson Caves are famous for being the set location of Western movies and Batman series. The video was retired on Poland's TRL after spending 50 days on the countdown.
In the video, Lena and Julia, both immaculately dressed in black, drive to the caves in a vintage automobile. Julia snaps her fingers and music begins to play as the girls perform in front of a mosh pit for a crowd of fans, who all dance and move to the song. Julia, sporting a shorter haircut, also plays on the piano in the video (she went to school № 1113 in Moscow with special classes for music students).
