Production
According to Daniel Ingram, "[i]t was a last minute replacement for the end titles".[2] The film does not specify who sings the song, only briefly showing human Derpy dancing to the song with a muffin, but Ingram has stated "I wrote the song as a ballad to [Twilight Sparkle] from the other 5 ponies."[1]

Lyrics
- [Singer]
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- I couldn't see what was
- Right there in front of me
- Turned my back
- Got my mind off track
- Yeah
- You saw a world that was
- Something new entirely
- Helped me to see
- All the possibilities
- Oooohhhhh....
- Like a star in the day light
- Or like a diamond at night
- Your light was hidden
- From my sight
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- Every friendship is tested
- You say you're sincere
- But it's all unclear now
- But with a word
- Everything changes
- And just like that
- You and I are right back
- Oohhh....
- Like a star in the day light (Star in the day light)
- Or like a diamond at night (Diamond at night)
- Your light will shine
- When the time is right
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- When I put my hand out
- And I thought I would fall
- You knew what I needed
- And you came around
- To fix it all
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- Ooohh-wa-ooohh
- (Like a star in the day light)
- A friend for life
- That's what you are to me
- (Like a diamond at night)
- That's what you are to me
