Youve Got a Friend fue escrita por Carole King e incluida en su álbum de 1971, Tapestry. James Taylor, que grabó la canción el mismo año, tuvo un gran éxito, lo que lo consolidó como un artista en solitario. La estrecha amistad entre King y Taylor, junto con su relación de colaboración musical, inspiró la creación de esta canción.
