Dua Lipa - Boys Will Be Boys

Boys Will Be Boys by Dua Lipa Song Info

"Boys Will Be Boys" is a song by English singer Dua Lipa from her second studio album "Future Nostalgia", serving as the album's closing track. Lipa wrote the song with Kennedi, Justin Tranter and Jason Evigan, while the production was handled by Koz. It is a baroque pop and chamber pop ballad set to orchestral strings and marching band drums with backing vocals from the Stagecoach Epsom Performing Arts Choir. Intending to start a conversation with the song, "Boys Will Be Boys" has themes of feminism and addresses the growing pains girls experience, needing to grow up faster than boys. She condemns toxic masculinity and how society treats women as inferior. Several critics commended the message and lyrics of "Boys Will Be Boys" however many found it to be too unlike other tracks on "Future Nostalgia" and thought that Lipa did not get her point across correctly. The song appeared on year-end lists published by The New York Times and Nylon while commercially peaking at number 78 in Lithuania and 148 in Portugal. A remix of the song by Zach Witness that samples "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins appears on Lipa and the Blessed Madonna's remix album "Club Future Nostalgia". The latter musician played the remix at Lipa's Studio 2054 livestream concert while Lipa performed the song at the 2020 Billboard Women in Music ceremony. Dua Lipa has often used her platform to advocate for issues she believes in, including feminism; of that she usually mentioned female equality in the workplace. The singer condemned the use of the term "boys will be boys" in a 2018 interview with GQ. "Boys Will Be Boys" was written by Lipa, Kennedi, Justin Tranter and Jason Evigan, while the production was handled by Koz. The song came about during a studio session between Lipa and the team she created "Physical" with, when they began talking about Lipa's experiences with men growing up as a female. The singer felt compelled to write the song as it stems from personal experiences and growing pains she faced and after talking about them with her friends and seeing posts on social media, she realized they were universal. These experiences revolved around her feeling powerless or intimidated in public spaces and doing things to avoid sexual harassment, catcalling and confrontation from men. Some of the experiences included putting keys through her knuckles, covering up her body, pretending as if she is on the phone with someone while walking alone, walking home before nightfall, self-policing friends by making sure she knew their location at all times and vice versa, and several other coping mechanisms. Lipa stated that she never thought twice about these experiences and thought they were just something she had to do. With "Boys Will Be Boys", Lipa desired to start a conversation about issues women and girls face and how they change themselves to fit the lifestyle of men. She stated that much of women's human experience revolves around men and how they make them feel. The singer described that girls are made to feel uncomfortable at a young age with being taught that the way boys treat them is normal and playing a school game such as "Kiss Chase". She continued by explaining that it is difficult to change once one has a fixed mindset, so if young listeners could ask questions about these issues are if they are talked about in school, it would make a great impact on society. Additionally, Lipa confirmed that she did not want to offend anyone or point any fingers but she wanted the lyrics to be "cutting" for the sake of the conversation. She also wanted to show solidarity with other girls to express comfort that it happens to all girls. "Boys Will Be Boys" was recorded at Masterlink Studios in Surrey, RAK Studios in London and Modulator Music in Toronto while the vocals were recorded at TaP Studio in London. The mixing was handled by Jay Reynolds at Long Island Studios and the mixing was done by Chris Gehringer at Sterling Sound in Edgewater, New Jersey.

give this era up already

- Outstanding

This album is the definition of a great, well executed ‘pop era’. The tracks on this album are impeccable. The sounds, the production, the lyrics, the vocals, all come together in harmony, which is literally breathtaking. There is not a single bad track on this album, which is surprising, normally an album would have a track that just doesn’t click or stick to you, but this album is not one of them. I have been fan of Dua Lipa ever since her debut self-titled album ‘Dua Lipa’, which is still memorable to this day. ‘Future Nostalgia’ gives everyone and their grandmothers, a boost of energy — it is hard to explain, it just makes you want to get up and go outside and dance. Although, I do love every track on this album — my absolute favorites are, ‘Don’t Start Now’, ‘Physical’, ‘Levitating’, ‘Hallucinate’, ‘If it ain’t me’, and ‘That kind of woman’.

- If It Ain’t Me

I know the version featuring Normani was leaked but it should of been a single from the being on the first edition of the album. Normani is amazing and talent and she deserves the recognition! I’m not feeling this version of the album. I was expecting more songs and songs that wasn’t leaked to be on the CD. I’m a fan but not of this version.

- dula peep

ate

- Meh....

So, Dua isn’t the first music artist (or the last, for that matter) to re-package/re-sell an album with a few new tracks. I understand it’s to get more mola from the Future Nostalgia era, but come on....you guys already did this with the remixes (which took some time for me to warm up). The new songs, which you can buy, are kind of ‘eh’ as well-none of them are really that memorable, with the exception of ‘That Kind of Woman’. Anyhow, as I said in the above paragraph, Dua Lipa isn’t the only musician to do this. For example, Lady Gaga and Lana del Rey did such with their best seller albums, but....they at least released 8 new songs, wherein it didn’t feel like you were buying an entire album once again. I do not know if this was Dua’s idea for a cash grab, or the music industry’s, but ‘this’ would be, overall, known as a ‘rip-off’ (especially with the remix tracks that you can only purchase if you pay for the album). And, these ‘fans’ who are blindsided by their mindless love for Dua Lipa and Future Nostalgia will, of course, not even realize this isn’t a ‘deal’. Many of them are practically throwing ‘five star reviews’ like their candy at her feet. All of you should not merely demand more, but to up your expectations of these music artists (not placing them upon pedestals, worshipping them as idols-because they are very much human-but reminding them you are the ‘client’, the ‘customer’, and thus giving praise or criticism when it is due). Yes, Dua is mad talented, deserves much praise from her masterpiece that is Future Nostalgia, but this current release is simply....lazy. It is what it is and I’m calling it out (yes, me-the average Jane). A word to Miss Lipa, if you are going to continue with this era, release the b-sides already (unless if this was it, then....eh.)

- Amazing

Love

- Best re-release album EVER!

No one will ever forget any of the hit songs in this album. Covid -19 had us prisoners living 24/7 in our home. Then we all saw that disco light appear as this album dropped. And hit after hit, made us dance and forget a little about the the situation we all were living outside our homes. Listening to the re-release it was the same feeling, but could not understand how these new songs made it even more perfect than it already was. Dua seriously killed it!🦄🌈

- aoty!

bpva e aoty.

- Woah

She do be lookin Thicc on the cover

- Amazing the second time around

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

- The Queen

No matter what she sings. It's the best. She has a gift 💕 love you Dua Lipa

- I am LIVIIIING

this album is SO much better than the self titled album in every single way. I can’t stop listening, and it pumps me up to do everything! Good job girl!

- "If It Aint Me" -Bop of the year

Incredible album with amazing new songs. "If It Aint Me" is truly a feel-good dance-pop masterpiece. Wow. I'm literally obsessed and have not stop playing it since it came out. This needs to be a single. The song is such a BOP! I love you Dua. Thank you for releasing such great pop-dance bangers in times like these.

- Please buy the latest single

An amazing break up anthem, in short I’m good amazing plz buy y’all🤞🏻🙏🏻

- Queen

IT IT AIN’T ME IS A GIFT SENT FROM HEAVEN.... JUST WISHED WE HAD NORMANI ON IT 🤡

- desperate

tanked hard

- Epic

Very good job

- MAGNIFICENT

I love dua lipa so much

- I’m done with her

Trash please give up on this album and make something else we are tired of this album. Also to all Dua lipa fans don’t make fun of Camila Cabello she has done so much to people to example like Save the children and fundraising for charity and talk about mental health and how to prevent depression and how to help with anxiety and not feeling that you are good enough and so much more. All DUA does is talk about her album.

- AOTY

aoty

- Cash grab 💸💸💸

I rather buy the original 👎🏽

- Moonlit Nostalgia🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔

Future Nostalgia is one of the best pop records of all time. That isn’t just an opinion. It’s a FACT!!! Dua Lipa gave us a time machine back to the 80’s while also giving us a telescope to the future. She is the worlds biggest pop star. She is outstandingly talented. I thought Future Nostalgia was amazing, but this deluxe edition is just as good. She did Future Nostalgia justice by creating a deluxe edition, that doesn’t stand in the albums shadow, but compliments it and adds a little extra! Dua Lipa is music at its finest.

- Best Album of 2020 Just Got a Lot Better!

Dua saved 2020 with her decision to release the best album last year and one of the best pop albums ever. This is a collection that just keeps getting better!

- Horrible Dup wanted you to spend money.

Dup added 3 extra songs and want of you to spend money like fools. Please come on this is so wack. Dup is so basic. Dup can’t sing nor dance. Dup really that the surprise what a waste of time. Dup why don’t you donate your album sale to save the children or do something to help this world. You have not done anything to help people in this world. What a joke you fool.

- 👍

I love the songs on here

- LOVE IT

wish there was more tracks, where is love is religion?!! and so many other scrapped bops, we hope we get side C soon with more tracks, especially scrapped ones, don’t disappoint me dua, i’ve been a stan for a long time:(

- My #1 artist

I have to say Dua Lipa is my favorite music artist. I absolutely love her music; It’s something I feel like I can relate to. I cant wait for even more music because no matter what she puts out, it’s amazing. I recommend this album to anyone who loves pop music.

- dula peep

I don’t have to explain

- Paying same price for half that you already got!

Future Nostalgia is great album but business model here is total rip off!!!She expects fans who already bought her album to basically buy it again just cause she added 5 new tracks and 2 remixes!!? If i knew this type of album was coming i would have waited! This is crap and total disrespect of the customers/fans!!! Especially now during pandemic that people can’t afford it to just throw money away.

- She so pretty

<3

- Blatant cash grab

The original album was very good: hugely derivative, but good. The remix album had some standout tracks- namely Levitating with Madge and Missy Elliot. But coming back round to sell your fans the same year-old leftovers for a THIRD TIME is just nasty. Clearly Dua thinks her fans are stupid. And if you buy this for a third time then maybe she’s got a point. Why Stop Now, Dua?

- 🌗

🌓

- STUNNING

Album of the YEAR!

- Don’t start now

Overall a pretty good album, but is very much one sound. Not much variety, but I still think that Dua Lipa is AMAZING 🤩 cant wait for her next album, whenever that is

- Nooooo

Eewwwww

- Why

The Original Album was a pop masterpiece, by adding the scrapped songs, she made the album worse not better

- Awesome

Dua were good is really good I can’t stop listening to it in fact it’s the only thing i listen to 😎😎😎 really good I would give it 100/100 :) thanks for having a good voice dua

- Love You Dua Lipa

I have never been so in love with an album before Future Nostalgia. You’re voice and songs are so amazing! This album will be remembered by so many people around the world and thanks to you, our quarantines were not nearly as bad because of you! You’re the best Dua. Keep up the amazing music. You’re #1 in my book ❤️❤️.

- Luv

I love this album and the extra songs! She did it again

- What a cash grab

It was a decent album until this version

- ♥️❤️♥️❤️

♥️❤️♥️❤️

- Best song

ITS SO GOOD MY NEW FAVORITE

- SOUND THE DAME

THE TRACKS ALL SOUND THE SAME!!!!!!!

- What is with all the hate

She is THE MOMENT RIGHT NOW

- Umm

Its ok

- album cover looks like it’s straight out of NTMR

i can understand everyone’s frustrations over a price hike over three new tracks. i give her major credits for this album, even though her music isn’t my particular taste. that, and the album cover looks like it’s straight out of instagram’s @nexttopmodelrace_

- lovely album + comment for stupid 5 year olds

i didn't quite finish the original version, but this one's cover is nicer and i like the new songs added. so I took more time listening to the old songs, glad i grew to like them. overall pretty good. and for the whining five year olds. she didnt force you to buy her album (itunes/$13 or physical copy-> no variant just simple cd+vinyl). you can just stream it wherever you want(which is like you donate one penny for your honourable contributaion). so STOP saying she's saying robbing you. she didnt do anything, you are just imagining it, you bunch of persecution maniac.

- Ahhh

SOOO GOOD

- we’re good

only song of hers i can actually enjoy 👍🏻👍🏻
