"Boy" lyrics
"Boy"
I've been sitting on a secret
And I don't think I can keep it anymore
I've been hiding out in Northern California
Where nobody knows who I was before
Where they won't judge me in the morning
We were counting down, the music stopped
We were waiting for the ball to drop
I closed my eyes and I leaned in
I kissed a boy
And I know it's not what you wanted to hear
And it wasn't on your bingo card this year
Well, it wasn't on mine
I fell in love
And it wasn't with who I thought it would be
And I'm scared to think of what you'll think of me
His lips were soft
I had no choice, I kissed a boy
Laying my cards on the table
I'll admit I don't know how to label it (Oh)
You can think that I'm a hypocrite, that's cool
I'm just following my heart, is what it is (Mm)
And only time will tell
If I will or won't do this again
Maybe I've changed or maybe it's just him
But I leaned in and kissed a boy
And I know it's not what you wanted to hear (Oh)
And it wasn't on your bingo card this year
Well, it wasn't on mine
I fell in love (I feel in love)
And it wasn't with who I thought it would be (Oh)
And I'm scared to think of what you'll think of me
His lips were soft
I had no choice, I kissed a boy
Ooh
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ooh
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
I kissed a boy
And I know it's not what you wanted to hear
And it wasn't on your bingo card this year
Well, it wasn't on mine
I kissed a boy

FLETCHER explained to Rolling Stone in an interview issued on the 5th of June, 2025, "My career launched with a song called 'Wasted Youth' in my early twenties about falling in love with a girl. Here I am, 10 years later at the start of my thirties, with a song about falling in love with a boy." She added, "My deepest desire for people was for them to boldly and unapologetically be themselves. And I have to walk that walk."
"Boy" and its official visualizer were published on the 5th of June, 2025. FLETCHER commented on the song's meaning, "I had met a boy and started feeling romantic and emotional feelings and we kissed. I was like, 'What the fuck is going on?' My whole world felt flipped upside down. I've always written about my love stories and my heart and very candidly written about what I've been experiencing. 'Boy' is just another love story. 'Boy' is just one revelation of many."
