The whole article is about Real Friends original version, so the infobox is supposed to be "Real Friends (original version)"'s[edit]

Opinion: It's necessary to split Real Friends featuring Swae Lee from the original version[edit]

Reasons:

The original version was a promotional single for the album. If infoboxes are combined, it'll be unclear that it was released as the promotional single.
Real Friends featuring Swae Lee and the original version differs in charts.
The article's supposed to be about the original version, because the critical reception and cover versions are all for the original version. If combined both versions into one infobox, it'll be unclear that the cover version by Echosmith was the cover of the original version but the alternative version featuring Swae Lee.
Articles like Boo'd Up all separated the remix from its original version into a single section.

No. We don’t need to cover up the fact that the remix version was released as a single, and flopped hard, by removing it from the main infobox.—N Ø 16:05, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It wouldn't be covering up the fact that the song was commercially unsuccessful. The proposed split would emphasize to the reader that these were two different releases (the original as a promotional single and the remix as a full single). This kind of split has been done on articles like "Homemade Dynamite". I would also like to point out that this article passed a GAN on March 3, 2018 prior to the remix's release on August 16, 2018 so the GA status does not account for the remix information, which was added later. I support the split being proposed above. Several parts of the article could also use some revision. Aoba47 (talk) 16:11, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
