"Beach Boy" came out through Republic Records on February 3, 2022, the second single from Lychee, the third EP from New Zealand's Benee. Making it put her in a room with Greg Kurstin for the first time, and he shares the writing credit; she says the two got on famously.
The song is about being perfectly content on your own while still craving a little romance, the rush of it without the heartbreak, and Benee wanted the music upbeat and cheeky to match. A Twilight obsessive as a kid, she also pitched it as her chance at a vampire moment of her own, and figured it was made for a top-down drive on the freeway. NME heard a dreamy summer love song, Clash a breezy comeback, and at home it reached 7 on New Zealand's Hot Singles chart.
