"Boys" came out on Atlantic in June 2018 as a single before finding a home on Lizzo's 2019 album Cuz I Love You, and it's a strutting ode to her dating pool. Lizzo wrote it with Nate Mercereau, Ricky Reed and Aaron Puckett, and Reed produced and mixed it, laying a retro funk groove over a fat, heavy bassline and topping it with a pop chorus built for shouting along.
Time put it at number 10 on its list of the best songs of 2018, and it became her first single to crack a commercial chart anywhere, reaching the top forty in Belgium. The video catches her performing in front of the music note wall in Minneapolis, among other spots, and four remixes were commissioned to push it further.
