Speaking of the single, Katielou said: “Boys was written at a time in my life between feeling like I could do nothing right and finding my self-worth.

“It’s a song about growth and realisation that everyone deserves to feel support and love in any relationship. I hope it’s as relatable and fun for you to listen to as it was for me to write and now perform.”
