Camelot

Open Key

At 116 BPM, We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande sits in F Major (Camelot 7B). This tempo and key combination is common in dance and uptempo music. Below are the chords, scale notes, and harmonically compatible keys for mixing or producing in this groove.

We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande exudes a sultry, melancholic atmosphere, characteristic of contemporary R&B. The tempo of 116 BPM contributes to the song's sensual, laid-back feel, while the key of F minor adds a touch of somberness, underscoring the emotional complexity of Grande's vocal delivery. This key choice is typical of R&B, as it often facilitates expressive, heartfelt performances.

Why people are learning this

Ariana Grande's "We Can't Be Friends" is a synth-pop standout that has inspired countless stripped-down, acoustic covers online. The emotional weight of the lyrics contrasts with the upbeat production, leading many guitarists to reinterpret the song in a more somber, singer-songwriter style.

Since the original is driven by keyboards, adapting it to guitar involves translating synth pads into strummed or fingerpicked chords. Set in F Major, beginners without a capo are forced to rely heavily on barre chords, particularly the dreaded F major barre. Most tutorials recommend placing a capo on the 5th fret to play in the key of C, which significantly alleviates hand fatigue but requires adapting to the higher voicing.

The F Major scale is built from these seven notes:

FGAA#CDE
