"Boys on the Radio" is a track from Celebrity Skin, Hole's third album, which DGC released in 1998 after the band set out to leave the noise and grunge grind of Pretty on the Inside and Live Through This behind for something brighter and slicker. The music is credited to Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson and Melissa Auf der Maur, the bassist making her only studio appearance with Hole, and Love wrote the words, as she did for every song on the record.
Michael Beinhorn produced the album over nine months of sessions that moved between London, Los Angeles and New York City, with the band chasing the idea of a California album, and Tom Lord-Alge mixed this one. It turned out to be the last album Hole put out before they split in 2002.
