Description
A glossy world where glitter sticks to your skin even after a shower. Everything is loud, sweet, and slightly fake - but impossible to tear yourself away from. Here, fans breathe in unison, and love is measured by the number of likes under a poster. There is something almost sacred about this rhythm of four chords and eternal youth: artificial sincerity brought to perfection. Dance, smile, be the beloved “boy from the boy band” - while the spotlight makes your skin perfect and your eyes still shine with the approval of the crowd.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Boy
Boy
I'm your favourite (boy, boy, boy, boy)
I'm your favourite (boy, boy, boy, boy)
Give me, give me, give me, give me everything I want
Take my photograph and lick it with a wet tongue
When I'm dead and gone, bury me in stardust
King of the River City, look at what it gave us, oh
Raised on pop-punk and bubblegum
Stay young, love me 'til I get it wrong
Make me the flavour of the week
Now I only feel alive when you're looking at me (I'm your favourite)
Boy (boy, boy, boy, boy)
Boy (I'm your favourite)
I'm your favourite
Boy in a boy band, imaginary boyfriend
Irritates the metalheads, it's your favourite (boy band)
Boy band, boy band, make that monkey dance
Let me see you clap your hands, it's your favourite (boy band)
Give you, give you, give you, give you everything you want
See me on the telly every time you turn it on
Love me when I'm skinny, and we never ever age
Same four chords, but it never feels the same, oh
Raised on pop-punk and bubblegum
Stay young, love me 'til I get it wrong
Make me the flavour of the week
Now I only feel alive when you're looking at me (I'm your favourite)
Boy in a boy band, imaginary boyfriend
Irritates the metalheads, it's your favourite (boy band)
Boy band, boy band, make that monkey dance
Let me see you clap your hands, it's your favourite (boy band)
(Favourite) it's your favourite
(I'm your favourite)
(I'm your favourite)
Boy in a boy band
Make that monkey dance
Make that monkey dance
Make that monkey dance
Boy in a boy band
Make that monkey dance
Make that monkey dance
Make that monkey dance (boy)
Boy in a boy band, imaginary boyfriend
Irritates the metalheads, it's your favourite (boy band)
Boy band, boy band (boy), make that monkey dance (I'm your favourite)
Let me see you clap your hands (your favourite), it's your favourite (boy band)
