A True, True Friend is the fourth of the seven songs featured in the season three finale, Magical Mystery Cure. The song was leaked during the week leading up to the episode's airing on February 11, 2013. The last verse of the song is heard in the end credits for this episode. The song has been released as a sing-a-long on the DVD My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Princess Twilight Sparkle. After the episode aired, Hasbro's My Little Pony Facebook page posted a recap-type video that used an alternate mix of the song, with clips from other parts of the episode.
