Description
Glossy energy, sugary sparkle and a touch of self-irony - as if a teenage dream has grown up but never stopped wearing glitter. Here, love for pop clichés is not hidden, but celebrated: vulnerability covered up with makeup, four chords and an eternal desire to be someone's ‘favourite’.
The music sounds like a fan poster that suddenly came to life and started singing about its own destiny. Everything is deliberate, loud, excessive - but that's where the charm lies: dancing until your voice gives out, knowing that somewhere in the crowd there is definitely someone who is looking only at you.
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)
That was fucking amazing
In fact, that show did really fucking awesome, come check it
