The duo were born in Miami, Florida, and grew up in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. They displayed an early interest and aptitude for music, and were home-schooled. In 2013, they auditioned for Season 8 of America's Got Talent, and progressed until being eliminated in the quarterfinals. Two years later they, along with several others, formed a group called The Heirs. They played in the 2016 Vans Warped Tour, but the group disbanded in 2017.
The duo, along with the drummer of The Heirs, Brennan Benko, split off to create Between Friends in 2017, debuting with the single ‘suburban wonderland’. They established their own sound with these releases, making songs of bedroom pop, laptop pop, and shoegaze dream pop. They are especially known for their 2018 hit EP ‘we just need some time together’, which has more than 170 million streams on Spotify as of September, 2023. In 2019, Brennan Benko quietly left the group to focus on his drumming career, however remained as a collaborator and still works with the group to produce live drums on their songs up to this day.
In 2021, they released their first mixtape ‘i like when you shine!’ after a nearly 3 year hiatus. This was followed up with the 2022 EP ‘CUTiE’.
In April 2023, Between Friends announced the release of their first full-length studio album, titled ‘i love my girl, she’s my boy’. They dropped 5 pre-release singles until the subsequent album release on August 25th, 2023.

Between Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been thinking 'bout the times (Again)
I tried to get you off my mind
But then you ask if I'll come by and I say, "yeah"
But now it's been a year or three (Again)
And you still tell your friends about me
Oh, is this long-lost chemistry, baby?
I lost your number just so I won't call, again, again
Can't help myself from (Again) falling, should we try again? Again
Ha (Again)
(?)
Oh, again
But I recall you pushed the distance (Again)
Been waiting just a little bit for you now I'm passed that
All I want to get is good sleep
But if I come by can we make up? yeah (Again)
Keep fucking in the day
Keep a little bit of me on the table
Incapable of knowing better
Cos I lost your number just so I won't call, again, again (Again eh-eh)
Can't help myself from (Again) falling, should we try again? Again (eh-yeah)
The song "poolside++chateau" by Between Friends explores the feelings of someone who is trying to move on from a past flame, but is struggling to resist the temptation of their offer to reconnect. The repetitive use of the phrase "again" emphasizes the cyclical nature of their relationship and the constant back-and-forth between getting over someone and relapsing. Despite the passing of time, the singer's old flame still holds a grip over them, as they question if the "long-lost chemistry" could resurface.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of the singer trying to prioritize their own well-being and move on from their past relationship. They mention wanting to get some "good sleep" and acknowledging that they should know better than to keep falling into the same pattern. However, the allure of their old flame still proves to be too difficult to resist, as they contemplate giving them another chance.
Overall, "poolside++chateau" delves into the complexities of trying to move on from a past relationship while also wrestling with the temptation of rekindling a connection with an old flame.

Been thinking 'bout the times (Again)
I keep revisiting the memories of when we were together
I tried to get you off my mind
I attempted to forget about you
But then you ask if I'll come by and I say, "yeah"
When you invite me over, I can't resist saying yes
But now it's been a year or three (Again)
It has been an extended period since we were last together
And you still tell your friends about me
You still mention me to your acquaintances
Oh, is this long-lost chemistry, baby?
Could the chemistry between us still exist?
I lost your number just so I won't call, again, again
I purposely deleted your digits to avoid phoning you repeatedly
Can't help myself from (Again) falling, should we try again? Again
I can't resist falling for you again, should we restart the relationship?
But I recall you pushed the distance (Again)
I remember you creating distance between us in the past
Been waiting just a little bit for you now I'm passed that
I waited briefly for you to come back, but I've now moved on
All I want to get is good sleep
My only wish is to sleep soundly at night
But if I come by can we make up? yeah (Again)
If I visit you, can we reconcile and restart the relationship?
Keep fucking in the day
We continue to have sex during daylight hours
Keep a little bit of me on the table
You retain some affection for me
Incapable of knowing better
We are unable to learn from our past mistakes

Oh is this almost chemistry, baby
I lost your number, just so I won't call

Can't help myself, I'm falling,

But I recall you pushed the distance
Been waiting just a little bit for you now I'm past that
All I wanna get is good sleep
But if I come back and we make up
Keep fucking in the day,
Keep a little bit of me on the table
Incapable of (huh)
knowing better
Cause -
I lost your number, just so I won't call
again (again) (yeah, yeah)
Can't help myself, I'm falling,
should we try
again? (again) (yeah)
Call me in, it's late uh
Find me, where to start now
Feelings you won't lay out
Drinking in the park now (?)
