Ark Music Factory founder Patrice Wilson has been discussing how he came up with the masterpiece that is ‘Friday’, made famous, of course, by Rebecca Black.

He told the LA Times: “I remember writing ‘Friday’. It was on a Thursday night, but I finished it on Friday morning. And I knew it was silly, you know? ‘Tomorrow is Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards’. I mean, everybody knows that, obviously, but I wanted the song to be simple and kind of sweet. People talk so much about how silly or stupid the lyrics are, but pop songs, they’re meant to be catchy and to tell things in a simple kind of way”.

He added that he is sorry that the poor quality of the song brought such a torrent of abuse down on Black when it went viral earlier this month: “I feel bad that Rebecca has been getting so many people criticising the song because it was me that wrote it”.
