Dove Cameron "Boyfriend" Official Lyrics & Meaning

“I didn’t want it to be about the boy,” singer and actress Dove Cameron says of “Boyfriend,” the smash single she released earlier this year. “Because it’s not. It’s about these two women and their sexuality and the connection that they have.” Cameron wrote the song with producer Evan Blair—as well as songwriters Delacey and Skyler Stonestreet—about her real-life experiences growing up queer.  

Described by Cameron as a “queer anthem,” “Boyfriend” has surpassed 100 million Spotify streams and made several Billboard charts. In the U.K., it went Top 10 on the Official Singles Chart. Watch Cameron go line-for-line on “Boyfriend” in the video above, and subscribe to the Genius YouTube page.
