Beyonce – If I Were A Boy Ringtone Download
Written by BC Jean and Toby Gad, If I Were a Boy was first performed by Jean in 2008. The same year, Beyonce, an American singer, released a version of the song off her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, which brought her widespread recognition. Beyoncé, Jean, and Gad handled the production as well. The song was first recorded by Jean, who was inspired by the painful breakup of a romantic relationship, but the record company rejected it. Next, Beyoncé recorded a rendition of her own. Beyoncé’s decision to release it as a single angered Jean at first, but they soon came to an understanding.
On October 8, 2008, Columbia Records released If I Were a Boy as the lead single and Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) as a double A-side single to US radio. The disparity between Beyoncé’s real self and her combative stage persona, Sasha Fierce, was evident in the two tracks. In Mexico and Spain, a digital version of the song called Si Yo Fuera un Chico was made available.
The pop and R&B ballad If I Were a Boy is an introspective song that features acoustic guitars, drums, and strings, all of which have folk rock influences. The lyrics of the song criticise the male aspect of partnerships and bemoan gender stereotypes. Critics gave the song positive reviews, praising Beyoncé’s emotional and tortured vocal performance and describing it as her best song to date. The song was a commercial hit, peaking at number 10 on a total of twenty-five singles charts.
It is Beyoncé’s best-selling single in the UK, where it peaked at number one on the charts in multiple countries, including Brazil, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the UK, but it only ranks third when streaming data is taken into account. If I Were a Boy achieved multi-platinum certifications in Australia, Canada, and the US, as well as a diamond one in Brazil, and peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Jake Nava directed and shot the black-and-white music video for the song If I Were a Boy. It is conceptually similar to the Disney comedy picture Freaky Friday (1976), with a theme of role reversal. An altered version of the original clip was used for the ballad’s Spanish music video.
Beyonce – If I Were A Boy Lyrics
If I were a boy
Even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it
Because they’d stick up for me
If I were a boy
I think that I’d understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
cause I know how it hurts
when you loose the one you wanted
cause he’s taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!
If I were a boy
I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone that its broken
so they think
that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first
and make the rules as I go
cause I know that she’ll be faithful
waiting for me to come home ( to come home)
If I were a boy
I think that I could understand
how it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
when you loose the one you wanted
cause he’s taken you for granted
and everything you had got destroyed!
[If I Were A Boy lyrics on https://lyrics-ringtone-download.com/ ]
It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say its just a mistake
Think I forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
But your just a boy
You don’t understand (and you don’t understand)
How it feels to love a girl
Someday you’ll wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you taken her for granted
And everything that you had got destroyed
But your just a boy…
