"'Friday 13th'" is a song by British virtual band Gorillaz featuring French-British rapper Octavian. The track was released on 9 June 2020 as the fifth single for Gorillaz' seventh studio album, 'Song Machine, Season One: Strange Timez', and the fourth episode of the 'Song Machine' project, a web series involving the ongoing release of various new Gorillaz singles and music videos featuring different guest musicians over the course of 2020.

Music video



The video, directed by Jamie Hewlett, Tim McCourt, and Max Taylor, was recorded while Gorillaz' virtual members were in quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic and features their likenesses, which are noticeably scarred and bruised which Jamie Hewlett stated was the result of their fight in the music video for "Aries", as well as footage of Octavian performing the track set against footage of moving roads and tunnels. The video ends with a quote from playwright James Baldwin.
