Singer Jason Chen dropped the music video for his song “Best Friend”. The video follows him back to his childhood days as he plays with young Cathy Nguyen and continues their journey together as they grow up from junior high to college. They maintain their friendship together even though they are on different coasts. As the storyline progresses, the track reveals his true feelings has been pent up over the years and he’s fallen for his best friend. With his emotions tearing him up inside, he can’t take it anymore. Jason flies from the West Coast to the East Coast to be with his best friend Cathy Nguyen. Don’t they make a cute couple. (Does that mean Wes and Phil of Wong Fu Productions are out of the picture? Strangers, again.) You can get the song on or amazon.

Take a look at some of the behind the scenes footage for the marathon shoots and guerrilla camera work.

Lyrics to Best Friend by Jason Chen

Do you remember when I said I’d always be there.
Ever since we were ten, baby.
When we were out on the playground playing pretend.
Didn’t know it back then.

Now I realize you were the only one
It’s never too late to show it.
Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before
Back when we were so innocent

I pray for all your love
Girl our love is so unreal
I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me
This is something like a movie
And I dont know how it ends girl
but I fell in love with my Best Friend

Through all the dudes that came by
And all the nights that you’d cry.
I was there right by your side.
How could I tell you I loved you
When you were so happy
With some other guy?

Now I realize you were the only one
It’s never too late to show it.
Grow old together,
Have feelings we had before
When we were so innocent.

(Chorus)

I know it sounds crazy
That you’d be my baby.
But you mean that much to me.

‘Cause nothing compares when
We’re lighter than air and
We don’t wanna come back down.

But I don’t wanna ruin what we have
Love is so unpredictable.

But it’s the risk that I’m taking,
Hoping, praying
You’d fall in love with your best friend

(Chorus) x2

I remember when I said I’d always be there
Ever since we were ten.
When we were out in the sandbox [playground] playing pretend.
Didn’t know it back then…
