Boys is a single by English singer Charli XCX, released on July 26, 2017. The song features a sample from the Nintendo video game Super Mario Bros. The official music video, co-directed by Charli XCX and Sarah McColgan, subverts traditional gender roles by featuring various male celebrities in stereotypically “feminine” scenarios, challenging conventional portrayals of masculinity. The track received critical acclaim, with Pitchfork naming it the ‘Best New Track’ and including it in their ‘100 Best Songs of 2017’ list.
