"For a Boy" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist RaeLynn. It was released to radio on March 23, 2015. RaeLynn wrote the song with Laura Veltz.[1]

History

RaeLynn told Entertainment Tonight that "I wrote it about this dinner date I went on, and this guy was super transparent with me and kinda wore his heart on his sleeve…You know, guys always wanna be macho and that kinda thing, so I had this idea of 'for a boy, this guy's pretty transparent and cool.'"[2]

Critical reception

Giving it a "C", Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe wrote that "She’s simply too green for me to take seriously her low level of expectations for both genders. 'For a Boy' is decently constructed, has a production that recalls SHeDAISY, and she sings it just fine."[3]

Music video

The music video was directed by TK McKamy and premiered in May 2015.[4]

Chart performance

The song debuted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart at No. 15, selling 27,000 copies in the US on its debut week. The song peaked at #58 becoming her lowest charting single to date.[5] The song has sold 77,000 copies in the United States as of July 2015.[6]
