"J-Boy" was the opening shot from Ti Amo, the sixth album by the French indie rock band Phoenix, released as its lead single in 2017. The title looks like a code name, but it's only shorthand for a phrase from the chorus, a sly, featherlight trick of a title for a song that wears its hooks just as lightly.
Warren Fu directed the video, which drops the band onto the set of a spoof Italian talk show, all kitsch and gleam. Over on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart, the single climbed as high as 21.
