Friend Like Me comes from Disney's animated film Aladdin, released in 1992, where Robin Williams voices the Genie and performs the song after Aladdin rubs the lamp. Written by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, it became one of the film's signature numbers and helped define Williams's improvisational, high-energy take on the character. The clip later spread through soundboards, reaction videos and short-form edits, where its instantly recognisable opening and showbiz swagger make it a shorthand for granting wishes and unveiling something spectacular.
