"Friends on the Other Side" is a song from the 2009 animated film The Princess and the Frog. It was written by Randy Newman and is sung by Keith David, the voice of the film's villain, Doctor Facilier. It depicts Facilier beginning his plan to take over New Orleans by first deceiving Prince Naveen while at the same time getting his valet, Lawrence, to become his ally. This song is reprised later in the film when he fails his voodoo spirit accomplices, a.k.a. the 'Friends on the Other Side' of the bargain deal, and he, along with his shadow, are being dragged into the voodoo spirit world.
