"Boyfriend" was the lead single from Crazy for You, the 2010 debut album from the duo Best Coast, handed out on June 29 as a free iTunes download. Lewis Pesacov produced, recorded and mixed it, and the tidied-up sound only makes their sun-soaked pop glow brighter.
It opens with a drum fill the Los Angeles Times compared to the one on Bruce Springsteen's "Badlands"; Cosentino said the resemblance was an accident, and Bobb swore he had no idea. Pitchfork named it Best New Track when it came out, and the duo played it for their television debut on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in January 2011.
