The stage name "S3RL" was based on a nickname his cousins gave him when he was little, which derived from his cousins calling him "arsehole". To avoid profanity, they began saying "arserl", and according to S3RL, the word stuck and became his stage name.
One of S3RL's most popular tracks is "Pretty Rave Girl" (2006), which uses the melody from "Daddy DJ" (November 1999) by the French dance act of the same name. S3RL has contributed tracks for several UK hardcore compilation series, including the Bonkers series.
Many of his songs reference different aspects of Japanese pop culture, such as anime, manga, hentai, and video games. In 2011, he founded his own record label, EMFA Music, through which all of his works are released. In May 2012, the label released "Press Play Walk Away[/track" as a single by S3RL and SynthWulf, a fellow hardcore DJ.
As of February 2015, S3RL was ranked 1798 on the "Official Global DJ Rankings" page djrankings.org, which bases its rankings on a number of factors include chart rankings, DJ fees and radio airplay. During mid-2015, his single "Genre Police" (featuring Lexi), which had been issued in Australia in November the previous year, peaked at #10 on the Norwegian singles chart.
In early 2018, S3RL announced that his 2018 tour would be his last, citing a desire to spend more time with his family. Though he advertised it as being his final shows, he clarified that he might be willing to return to the stage after at least two years: "After 2018 I will not do any shows for at least a couple of years, then re-assess the situation to do the occasional show here and there.... For example, if I was booked for a show in 2020 that I could bring my family along to I would consider it, but during the two years off I will not be doing any shows at home or away." He also stated that his music production would be unaffected.
In February 2020, S3RL decides to hire contract partners to help him make his new music videos. He notably recruits Aurélien Dacher, a French beatmaker, and they have since created: You Are Mine, Nasty, Dopamine, Wanna Fight Huh, The Bass & The Melody, and S3RL Absolutely Presents.
In May 2021, S3RL announced his new label, M4 Music, with the release of "Dance More (Atef Remix)" on 14 May 2021.
Friendzoned
S3RL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, girl this is agony
I wish you were into me
But no it's not meant to be
No matter how good I treat you
Oh no, your with that dick
But to me you say
I friendzone you, you, you, you, you, you
I want you here with me whenever I'm sad
But you'll never get to take me to bed
Sorry that the feelings aren't mutual
Take it or leave it, 'cause I friendzoned you
Yo, drop the bass
The bass
I friendzone you, you, you, you, you, you
I want you here with me whenever I'm sad
But you'll never get to take me to bed
Sorry that the feelings aren't mutual
Take it or leave it, 'cause I friendzoned you
I friendzoned
Yo, here we go
I'm the asshole in her life I give her the D
No matter how I treat her she stays with me
We're fighting all the time, 'cuz I cheat, I lie
Then it's you on the phone when she's having a cry
You treat her real good, you treat her so nice
But when she gets home, she's back on my pipe
A little advice, to you from me
With girls like these, treat'em mean, keep'em keen
Bring the beat back
So now can you see it too?
That this guy's no good for you?
No, won't listen to me
No matter how much you see it
Oh, no you're still with that dick
He treats you like shit
But to me you say
I friendzone you, you, you, you, you, you
I want you here with me whenever I'm sad
But you'll never get to take me to bed
Sorry that the feelings aren't mutual
Take it or leave it, 'cause I friendzoned you
I friendzoned
I friendzoned you
S3RL's "Friendzoned" is a song about unrequited love and the frustration that comes with being put in the friend zone. The lyrics express the pain of wanting someone who doesn't feel the same way, and the confusion that comes with that situation. The singer wishes that the girl he loves would reciprocate his feelings, but she is with someone else who treats her badly. Despite treating her well himself, he's stuck in the friend zone and can't seem to get out of it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I friendzoned you" several times, emphasizing the fact that the singer has put himself in the position of being just a friend to the girl he loves. He wants her to be around whenever he's feeling down, but he knows that he will never be able to take things to the physical level. He apologizes for the fact that the feelings between them aren't mutual and tells her to take it or leave it.
The second verse is from the perspective of the girl's current boyfriend, who is aware that she has feelings for someone else. He admits to treating her badly and acknowledges that the singer treats her well. However, he advises the singer to be mean to girls in order to keep them interested, a problematic message to say the least.
Overall, "Friendzoned" is a sad but catchy song that speaks to the experiences of many people who have been in the same position as the singer.

Yo, drop the bass
Start the music
Oh girl this is agony
This is truly painful
I wish you were into me
I want you to like me
But no it's not meant to be
Unfortunately, it won't happen
No matter how good I treat you
Even if I treat you well
Oh no, you're with that dick
You are with that terrible guy
He treats you like shit
He treats you poorly
But to me you say
But you tell me
I friendzone you, you, you, you, you, you
I see you only as a friend
I want you here with me whenever I'm sad
I want your support
But you'll never get to take me to bed
We won't have a romantic relationship
Sorry that the feelings aren't mutual
I'm sorry we don't share the same feelings
Take it or leave it, 'cause I friendzoned you
That's the situation, accept it or don't
Yo, here we go
Let's go
I'm the asshole in her life I give her the D
I'm the bad guy and I have sex with her
No matter how I treat her she stays with me
Even if I treat her poorly, she sticks around
We're fighting all the time, 'cuz I cheat, I lie
We argue due to my dishonesty and infidelity
Then it's you on the phone when she's having a cry
But you're the one she calls when she's upset
You treat her real good, you treat her so nice
You are kind and caring towards her
But when she gets home, she's back on my pipe
But she comes back to me
A little advice, to you from me
My advice to you
With girls like these, treat'em mean, keep'em keen
Be mean to them to keep them interested
Bring the beat back
Resume the music
So now can you see it too?

That this guy's no good for you?
That this guy is bad for you?
No, won't listen to me
No, you won't listen to what I say
No matter how much you see it
Even if you understand it
Oh, no you're still with that dick
You're still with that terrible guy
He treats you like shit
He treats you poorly
But to me you say
But you tell me
I friendzone you, you, you, you, you, you
I see you only as a friend
I want you here with me whenever I'm sad
I want your support
But you'll never get to take me to bed
We won't have a romantic relationship
Sorry that the feelings aren't mutual
I'm sorry we don't share the same feelings
Take it or leave it, 'cause I friendzoned you
That's the situation, accept it or don't
I friendzoned
I put you in the friend zone
