pulled from YouTube despite the two parties being in "good faith negotiations". It added: "There's been an ongoing, open dialogue with our company. So we were blindsided to get a 'Take Down Notice' alleging copyright infringement instead of a call or e-mail from Rebecca's representatives. Our use of the video has fully been authorized (as evidenced by four uninterrupted months and 160 million-plus viewings without objection) by both Ms. Black and the copyright holder. Regardless, we are going to continue to take the high road and work out the complaint as soon as possible, so that the million-plus people who watch Friday for free each day can continue to enjoy the video." On September 16, 2011, the music video was restored to YouTube, on Black's official channel. Track listing Digital download "Friday" – 3:30 Remix On February 8, 2021, Rebecca Black teased a 10-year anniversary remix of "Friday" featuring "some iconic people" on Twitter. The remix was released on February 10, 2021, and features vocals from crunkcore duo 3OH!3, New Orleans's "queen of bounce" Big Freedia, and alt-pop musician Dorian Electra, alongside production from Dylan Brady of 100 Gecs. Of her choice of collaborators for the remix, Black explained: "I’d had the idea to do this remix of 'Friday' for years leading up to now, but honestly it was also mildly insane for me to think anyone else would want to be a part of it". Composition Opposed to the original's bubblegum style, this new "maximalist makeover", "morphs the original's simple pop aesthetic into a hyperpop overload." Black's chiptune vocals are "glitched-out" and distorted to the point of being unrecognizable, accompanied by "a pounding bass kick and pixellated synth line" from Brady. Electra's verse tells the story of the song from the perspective of another person in the car, while 3OH!3 turns the track into "an ethereal, synth-filled chorale" and Freedia "rips the song back into a thrumming dance rhythm". Critical reception Ben Jolley rated the remix four stars out of five in his review for NME, calling it a "serotonin-boosting rollercoaster ride" with "endless replay value". Writing for Billboard, Stephen Daw praised Brady's production for "[giving] it a fresh, modern refurbishing". Similarly, Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone considered that it had "[warped] the sanitized mall pop into something delightfully delirious".
