The duo released their self-titled, full-length album on January 20, 2009. Fiction Family originally went by the name, "The Real SeanJon," a name jokingly chosen in the hopes that Sean "Sean John" Combs would sue them.

According to a blog post on Watkins' website, they started the collaboration in 2005, writing songs together. Around Mid-2006 they began recording the songs, in bits and pieces while the two were off the road.
On March 13, 2008, it was reported that The Real SeanJon had changed their name to "Fiction Family."
It was rumored at one point that Starbucks might put out Fiction Family's record, sometime in the summer of 2008. "We’re doing the final song right now, and there’s a rumor that there’s a large company that produces caffeinated beverages that might put it out in a few months. So, we’ll see," said Foreman. But later, Foreman stated that the record would be released in January 2009, and a press release by Nickel Creek confirmed that the album, Fiction Family, was to be released on January 20, 2009, on ATO Records.

Friday I'm in Love
Fiction Family Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Or Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Or Thursday doesn't even start

It's Friday, I'm in love

Saturday, wait
Sunday always comes too late
Friday never hesitate

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Or Thursday never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

Saturday, wait
Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate

Dressed up to the eyes
Such a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
Smiling at the sound
Sleek as a shriek spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
Such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday, I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Or Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart

Or Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love

Overall Meaning

The song “Friday I’m in Love” by Fiction Family is an ode to the feeling of being in love and the excitement that comes with the end of a workweek. The opening lines demonstrate the indifference and disdain towards the days leading up to Friday, signifying that the singer’s only interest lies in Friday, the day they feel love. They explain how they don't care about Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray or Wednesday's monotony, and even Thursday’s lack of enthusiasm. These feelings reflect the commonplace of working-life, where weekdays can be mundane and repetitive. However, the magic of falling in love is enough to shake all sense of monotony for the singer, leaving them anxiously waiting for Friday.

The chorus of the song “Friday, I’m in love” is the main theme that ties everything together. It emphasizes the singer's ecstasy of being in love and how it replaces their mundane life with something exciting, meaningful, and vibrant. The enthusiasm of Fridays contrasts with the remaining days, showing the change in the singer's mindset. Throughout the song, the singer is fascinated by their lover.

The lyrics "Dressed up to the eyes, Such a wonderful surprise, To see your shoes and your spirits rise, Throwing out your frown, Smiling at the sound," are indicative of the lovely dates they go on throughout the week, the passion they have for each other, and the joy that it brings them.
