On her 2017 single “Boys,” Charli XCX has kind of a one-track mind. She told Glamour, “It’s just about dreaming about boys, basically.” “Boys” is one of the rare songs in Charli’s catalog that she didn’t have a hand in writing. It was penned by four boys and two girls: Emily Warren, Ingrid Andress, Cass Lowe, Michael Pollack, Ari Leff, and Jerker Hansson.

In July 2017, the Internet was busy thinking about the “Boys” music video. Co-directed by Charli, the clip features 60 famous dudes acting like video vixens. “The song ‘Boys’ is basically about dreaming about all the cuties out there in the world,“ Charli told Dazed. "The video—it’s about making boys the ‘sexy’ part of a pop video for once, instead of the girls.”
