Dove Cameron "Boyfriend" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 апр 2022
- “I didn’t want it to be about the boy,” singer and actress Dove Cameron says of “Boyfriend,” the smash single she released earlier this year. “Because it’s not. It’s about these two women and their sexuality and the connection that they have.” Cameron wrote the song with producer Evan Blair-as well as songwriters Delacey and Skyler Stonestreet-about her real-life experiences growing up queer.
Described by Cameron as a “queer anthem,” “Boyfriend” has surpassed 100 million Spotify streams and made several Billboard charts. In the U.K., it went Top 10 on the Official Singles Chart. Watch Cameron go line-for-line on “Boyfriend” in the video above, and subscribe to the Genius RUclips page.

the fact that there is a girl out there who knows that this song is about her........damn
but she didnt write the lyrics
@@sS1SR906 no one said she did though?
Just imagine that!
@@sS1SR906 in the beginning she was explaining how she wrote the song so…
@@sS1SR906 she was one of four writers on the song sweetie 🤦♀️
“treat you better” but make it fruity and simply divine
Just what I was thinking
And better
Oh My God YES! this was exactly what I was thinking.
And make it an actual performance and not just stand there while strumming the guitar for 3 whole hours (NO SHADE NO SHADE)
frrr
I relate to how Dove was talking about listening to girls complaining about boyfriends who can't seem to do basic things in a relationship. It's so frustrating and confusing cuz the things that bf's dont wanna do with their gfs are things I dream of doing.
Me too!😍❤️❤️. And being bisexual is such a problem solver. Why be with a man when you can be with a 👩🏻
@@farahwork2552 umm..human extinction?
@@IkesPimpHand your a scientist create more humans in a lab and make them reproduce. Ill continue being gay thank you very much.
@@farahwork2552 that sounds very dystopian. Is this what humanity is reduced to? And you're just gonna be blatantly misandrist? It's only a problem when men say anything about women,huh?
@@farahwork2552 also the natural logical conclusion is human extinction. Without diversity of genes (which cannot be done in a lab) we'd get worse and worse DNA
I love the jazzy sound her voice emulates in this song. It’s gorgeous.
i would like this comment but its at 699 likes...
She destroyed her pretty face with plastic surgery
@@tatum635 shut up, she's still pretty.
@@tatum635 What does her appearance have to do with her voice? (I think she is beautiful btw)
I agree
"i could do boyfriend better, it's not that difficult" - love this
can we just talk about how many likes you got
Yeah
@@janetreed4496 rightt
@@janetreed4496 gota be bots
I felt that
So you're gonna tell me that a girl made out with Dove and now has a song written by Dove about her ? The dream right there.
Is that what happened
@@shanaa6640 if u watched the vid she did just say that it was a real life experience
@@t_t725 i have watched the music video over and over again
@@shanaa6640 well it might be useful to watch this video that your commenting on maybe
@@shanaa6640
They meant if u watched this video and not the music video.
the way she talks ab women is so... yeah. she's so right
for real
I love your pfp!

@@hadesgrimm9697 are you having fun my son? of course daad
I really love her in this interview. She’s just very mature and confident in talking about her experience, I like this unapologetic side of her. Also I love myself a good lesbian anthem any time of a day please and thank you
Btw she looks great with brown hair
@Hayley BagelsI’m not interested, but sure why not
@Hayley Bagels idk u go make it idc
it’s not a lesbian anthem
@@shannon_skye sure sweetie whatever you say
@@shannon_skye ok then we’ll make it one
thank you for having me🖤
💗
Hi
I love you Dove ❤❤❤
So glad this song is popular! It means a lot to me to have a sapphic anthem :)
probably streamed this song a thousand times already lol
I remember watching her on Disney Channel, Liv and Maddie, the Descendants, Cloud 9 loved her singing since then watching this i realised she better than i thought.
Same
she did a cover of pov by ariana grande and its ethereally beautiful
Sameeee
@@nicosandrin420 she did??? That's my favorite song by Ari! I'ma watch it rn 🥺
Her vocal ability is just insane she also went to broadway n sung there she’s amazing
I could be a better boyfriend than him ;)
Wait a min- WENGIE?? OmO love you
Omg hey wengie! Isn’t this song amazing?
Wait ur my child hood ytber
OMG wengie/wraya! i've had both tightrope and this in my playlist and they givve off similar vibes! Cant believe you listen to this masterpiece.
dude my childhood is here
I like her deep singing voice. I’ve never heard her sing like this and it’s sooo beautiful🤍
@Hayley Bagels ???
@Hayley Bagels??
@Hayley Bagels ??? Lol whaaaat 💀
The way she talks about women is just...ahhh perfecttt
righttt it gave me butterflies
@Hayley Bagels tf are u talking about?
Gives me butterflies
Ikr😭
@Hayley Bagels huh?
She’s just being casual but she sounds great. Voice control is really showing. Way too grow as a vocalist, too, Dove 💕
My name Marley too
Hearing the meaning behind each lyric is so beautiful, the fact that dove wasn’t just writing down lyrics that rhymed or sounded good but there was actually a much bigger message behind them. now that’s how a true songwriter thinks and writes. Also the fact that dove is so respectful and is so ready to treat these women like the queens they are, she’s a goddess.
“But because of the surrounding circumstances” DOVE TELL US WHAT HAPPENED GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT
I can just tell Dove genuinely cares for the people she loves. Like she talks about her friends like they’re the most valuable treasures of her life. This song is so beautiful and I was so happy when it came out and I first listened to it it. I’ve had so many situations that Dove describes with her friends saying their bfs wouldn’t even do the bare minimum and I would think about how I’d treat them so much better than them and IGH THIS SOMG BRUH. I thank Dove for this every single day I listen to it.💖💛💙
💖💛💙😩🙏we love Dove
@@Innnnnk I love her so much😭
Wait so is this song for friends or 💀 cause this song has a different kind of vibe for me.
@@Lilith816 no it’s gay😭
@@Thatgenderconfused3mo yeah- that's what i was tryin to say 😂
Dove is an outstanding woman. Her performance and rise from being a Disney star to being a pop sensation is absolutely amazing, it sounds so familiar. And Dove's vocals ?? Wow.
She has such a great control over her voice, it's crazy
Doves voice has improved so much in the last few years as shes found her sound- it sounds so smooth
When she does sings a capella, it sounds very jazz style.
The fact that she's not looking at the camera while talking and singing makes every explanation more genuine.
It's simply amazing.
the whole song is so sensual and romantic, beautifully written, and i absolutely love the message it holds, it's revolutionary and just amazing on all levels
Her singing is flawless. I love Dove's voice so much. It's so calming
The fact that Dove went from someone I thought was for lil kids who like disney movies to this- mind blown. going on my playlists right away/
Fr
dove's music is soo good, i'm surprised people haven't listened to her other songs before boyfriend. i'd recommend listening to them, they're beautiful masterpieces. literally art in music form.
prob bc like all of them were deleted from music platforms
cuz she deleted all of them lol
@@jwoyuriz damn i didn't know that
No they’re all still up like so good, remember me, we belong, and out of touch all so good
@@amelianeioko978 she didn't. Her label decided to.
She’s so right about most men doing a terrible half-a** job being boyfriends and neglecting basic sh!t. She has such a cool voice.
really?? from what i see in het relationships these days its the man who pays for everything spoils her takes care of her whilst she does nothing....
@@northlondonisredpal8695 ikr
i love how honest she is about what her pov for the song actually was and isn't beating around the bush with the explanation
Honestly I’m super impressed with this song. Most of the people who started off as something other than a musician, who starts music their music isn’t good. So when I heard she did a song I didn’t think it would be good just cause normally it isn’t. But wow I really love this song and what it’s about, it also made a whole lot of respect going to her.
I don't believe this is actually her first song.
@@Lilith816 it's not and she's not claiming it is😭
she was so good in liv n maddie i didn’t think this was her first song
@lev - exactly,,, her Disney career, her the girl and the dreamcatcher era? come on 🤧
she's been singing since before she started acting lol
Her singing is just amazing and she’s so pretty
As a closeted bisexual who has ADORED Dove Cameron for quite sometime, I really love this song and I’m glad to have something in common with Dove 💖💜💙
Edit: holy crap! Thanks for 1.2k likes this is the most likes I’ve ever had lol! I love you all ❤️
Edit 2: oh my gosh!!! I have 2.1k!! Thank you all so much!!
Same, Dove just keep doing what your doing 💖💜💙
All girls are bi
yessss 💖💜💙
@@ballamaniac6984 no they’re not...
@@RekiMyLoveOfSkAtEbOaRdInG yea they are low key just like you they might not say it but if they get drunk they wouldn't think twice bout kissing a girl
The lyrics, the voice, and just everything about the song and dove herself. I'm in love.
Okay but she looks so drastically different whatttt
What a Queen! Her personal and artistic and music style growth is such an honor to witness… so excited to see so much more to come!
bruh dove is speaking FAX.. so many of these straight girls are being undervalued by mediocre boys
!
Way,way overvalued. Way too much. And with the way y'all hate men and speak condescendingly about men ,and wonder why we "undervalue" y'all...did you even read what you wrote?
@@IkesPimpHand Dude, why are you so pressed? OP didn't say all girls or all men. They talked about a portion.
Meanwhile, you put every woman into one pot and call it a day, while completely taking the blame off of the guys that actually aren't good partners.
If you are so angry at the few women that actually take "I hate all men" seriously that you blame the entire gender for it and dismiss all harm done to them, you need therapy.
However, it is a fact that a lot of straight women are not being treated right by their partners. That does not mean there aren't guys being treated unfairly as well. OP only mentioned the women in this comment because that's what the whole video and song is about.
Op's comment makes sense, while yours lacks logical thinking and is based purely on your own biased opinion and perspective.
@@IkesPimpHand?? where's the hate? Huh?
And it's a fact that there's way more expectations from a woman than a man, so often it ends up being a gorgeous successful girl getting a,, well, a guy. Because she's learned to "lower her expectations" and "be humble" like we women are.
@@IkesPimpHand you're a male aren't u LMFAO
"So the pre-chorus came from the fact that I actually grabbed her wrist" is the most replayed part of the video... Girls, I know what you are 💀🏳️🌈
I am a heterosexual woman but listening to dove’s song makes me feel so empowered. Like woman can help other woman and show them how they should be treated , hence ‘’I could be a better boyfriend than him.” It’s makes me think about all the woman in my life who deserve better and who understands that better than a woman herself 🥰
I am one too but o love this song - totally relate
totally relatable!
I think she’s saying all this in a gf/gf way and not so much as a friend lol
I’m so glad dove is finally getting the recognition she deserves for her music and acting now
Why doesn’t this have more views? This is such a good song 🥺
If u check the other genius interviews recently uploaded, this one is actually the one doing the best!! The genius channel itself is flopping but dove is carrying it ❤
@@llemonjuicce Dove is a flop
@@0805clau yeah by creative you mean messing up her face ith surgeries, lying to the public and writing cringy songs
@@KanadeLapis wow your life is sad lol
@@KanadeLapis just sounds like ur jealous
THE WAY THIS IS A LOVE SONG TO THAT PERSON. IMAGINE BEING THAT PERSON and KNOWING DOVE WROTE THIS FOR HER
Dove is such a mature, kind, and beautiful person, and it's been so cool watching her career grow throughout the years. We love you Dove!
I love her confidence. She know she can bring more to the table 👏
I love how she was so open to say that the song was based off a real life experience 👌😍
3:07 the amount of women ive seen complain about how their boyfriends don't do basic relationship stuff is actually insane.💀💀
I wish everyone would speak about women and respect them the way Dove is doing
Nah I am good
Dove Queen 🛐✨
🕊👑
That cheeky smile when she says "I might be able to do that"
(4:55)
She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment
I love watching her come into her own and grow outside the box Disney made her fit into. What a Queen 🤩
I always make it my mission to check out her interviews on RUclips, she’s so well spoken, relatable and just down to earth. She never phones it in, she’s always so enjoyable to watch and listen to her thoughts! It’s so refreshing 🙏
The thing is the production on the song is great, but her voice has this very old school sound to it when she's singing that you can picture her singing it in a nightclub with smoke and lights billowing around and it's just very chill. I find the song pretty relaxing. With that said I hope her singles will follow suite.
i love her , her calmness and confidence is inspiring
Dove is such a genuine and gorgeous soul. I grew up watching her grow up and I was always like “wow, I wanna be like her one day”. That never changed. Seeing her build a life for herself is so inspiring.
She is singing so beautifully. It really pleased my ears. And the meaning of this song is very empowering.
I thought no one did such videos to talk about the meaning of their songs. This is awesome! I can't believe there is actually such a thing
they have more on this channel if you want to see more
Oh they talk about the “meaning” of their songs alot on genius. Tread carefully...
My fav part about these genius videos is hearing the artists singing a capella (not all of them do, but still) and dove's voice is so angelic and perfect
1:07 shout out to that girl from New York who inspired this song 😌because it’s straight fire 🔥
we NEED a live acoustic version after this!!! her voice is impeccable !!!
she’s like a siren or something i’m literally so entranced??
“and they deserve more and i might be able to do that” 4:54 OH my- the way she looked after she said that. 🧎🏽♀️
this was so good ♡ thank u for this
LGBT representation we love to see it!🏳️🌈❤️
@Macaroni said no one
@@makeitrainnnn W
@Macaroni then why are you here
@Macaroni bro someone’s gonna attack u 4 writing this comment.I would just take it down before that happens.Not that I’m offended or anything but I don’t want u 2 get attacked.
@@livyzwurld1587 wait what you care more about them getting attacked for being homophobic than them being literally homophobic?? 😭😭
TODA ARREPIADA com essa mulher! 😍
This song is sooo good! I can't wait for the rest of her music! 🎶💕💖
you rock! thanks for coming out!
I love this song because a few years ago my mum dated this guy that was mean and yelled at her every day, and so she broke up with him but he still called her everyday and saying he was sorry. My mum thought that being treated like an object was not okay, so she has turned lesbian! I have 2 wonderful mums that treat eachother with respect. 😭💓💖💗💕💟💝
❤❤❤
She didn’t turn lesbian. She probably realized she always was a lesbian.
@@plushbunnii you can't turn lesbian bc it isn't a choice but you can be a sexuality before you're another, she could've been straight but now she isn't, we don't know
She didn't"turn" lesbian
Just unsure about the sexuality
Anyways it's a dream right there 😭
She didn't "turn" Lesbian.
MDS!!! MARAVILHOSAA!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💕💕
I love the maturity on her ♥️♥️♥️I love seeing her grow and shine brighter and brighter. Sending all the love and support
her voice is so calm and peaceful! It's beautiful
I don't know if I can put my finger on it, but there is definitely something about her.
I am trying to decide if she is a better actress or a better singer.
I can't decide.
She obviously kicks butt at whatever it is she happens to be doing at the time. No?
When I first heard her sing those lyrics 'I can be such a gentleman,'
I thought, 'I bet.'
Obviously she's a better boyfriend🖊️
I’ve been waiting for this ! Very well done Dove ❤️❤️ ur amazingggg
This song is absolutely amazing! I can't wait for the others to come ❤️️
You are inspiring.
And you make feel so much better.
You are a literal queen 🙌🏼
This is such a good song! I love it so much. I also love the meaning.
When I read "official meaning" in the title I honestly had a second of fear where I imagined Disney would kick down the door in the middle of the interview and say they were really good friends
her voiceeee! Love this song, so good. Also she's so right, we deserve better ✋🏻
Her vocals are amazing and have grown, matured, and improved since her time on Disney. This is truly pure talent.
OH I LOVE HER-
"i could do boyfriend better, it's not that difficult."
also me relating to listening to my girlfriends talking about how their boyfriends don't say or do the little things and just thinking about how well i could treat her 💀
Whatever she said is exactly how I feel about treating my significant other but they never return it.
She is iconic and her vocals
Dove could have a Best New Artist Nomination next year....
shes been a artists
@@dizelii yea but best new artists is for new artists and artists that’s been making a lot of noise
@@D1ON1807 I think boyfriend did make a lot of noise, don't u think? Its her first solo to reach over 100 M on spotify And even came in top 10. That's a great achievement. But again you are right. Grammys don't want to recognise hard work at all.
I remember looking up to her so much since Liv and Maddie. I always loved her so much and now she makes me feel so so so proud. Dove Cameron is an amazing woman.
4:41 The main difference between women who like women and guys who like women
love that she is embracing her sexuality:))
The amount of love I have for this song and Dove is just hard to put into words. Whenever I listen this song I feel such a strong surge of confidence 💙💙💙💙💙💙.
"i could do better boyfriend than that" i love her so much
I love this Dove, Im so excited for your future stuff and your continued growth💓
amazing song, singer, and meaning 💜 love her
These lyrics and the meaning behind it all is so perfect. Girls...listen to her, she knows what she's talking about
.
Gushhh she is so beautiful and her voice and the lyrics is just insanely perfect...
Even how she talk without her lips ever touching is impressive
It’s because of her lip lift.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Dove when she speaks calms me and her songs ahhh💗💗💗💗💗💗
This is absolutely AMAZING
i remember her disney days and since then she’s only grown and gotten so much better !! 🖤
Such a talent woman. I just discovered this song and I keep it on repeat
I love it Dove, your lyrics, passion and ideas you're incredible....
i went through a huge dove stage, she got me through a time where i was still discovering my sexuality, im so happy she is comfortable with hers.
Dove truly gave a really good understanding of what her song is really about I enjoy listening to it❤️😍
Okay this definitely made me want to discover more from her and start listening to everything she puts out. She's so smart, powerful and chill at the same time
I love this video LOL her voice, her explanations, the way she speaks, just everything abt it 🙌🙌
i admire and respect her so much because we always have those people who try so hard to get away from their disney roles and end up doing crazy stuff, but dove never needed to do any of that, she distinguished herself with her uniqueness and talent
