Английская Википедия:Boys (Charli XCX song)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox song "Boys" is a single by English singer Charli XCX, released on 26 July 2017 by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records UK. The song was originally intended to be the second single from her then-upcoming third studio album. However, the song became a stand-alone single when the projected third album was leaked on the internet and cancelled.[1] The song makes use of a sample from the Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros.[2]
A cover of the song by one of its writers, Ingrid Andress, is included on the deluxe edition reissue of Andress' debut studio album, Lady Like (2020), with a mandolin being used to replicate the video game sample.[3]
Critical reception
"Boys" received positive reviews. Pitchfork named the song the 'Best New Track', and in a review contributor Eve Barlow wrote that "Boys" is "deceptively simple-sounding and unfussy," and "a reminder that [Charli XCX is] one of the best at knowing how to have fun; her convivial bop sounds as effortless as something dreamed up between lunch and dinner."[4] The track was placed on several magazines' best songs of the year lists.
