"This Boy's in Love" was the second single from Apocalypso, the 2008 album by Australian electronic duo the Presets, released on Modular. Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes wrote it together, and John Fields mixed it into a pulsing, lovesick slab of electro-pop.
Danish photographer Casper Balslev directed the video over two days, shooting the pair singing and playing through clouds of dust and grimy air, intercut with two half-naked fighters grappling in milk. The single came loaded with remixes from Lifelike, Jori Hulkkonen, Zombie Nation and K.I.M., the kind of package built for DJs as much as radio, and it landed between "My People" and "Talk Like That" in the album's run of singles.
