BuzzJack Music Forum _ Pop _ Carly Rae Jepsen - Boy Problems
Posted by: Liаm 10th March 2016, 08:05 AM
Surprised nobody posted this! Carly has revealed on Instagram that her next single is Boy Problems, with a video coming soon. I guess it doesn't matter as singles will do nothing at this stage, it's just a video, but Boy Problems is one of my least favourites on the album 
She sounds a bit nasally when she says "I'm tired of hearing all your boy problems" which is a minor niggle essentially but annoys me a fair bit

Oh wow, okay. 'Boy Problems' is a fun song, but like you Liam, not really one of my favourites at all.

Agreed with Mattias, good track but did she really not consider anything else more worthy of a single release? 
Posted by: PAJ88 10th March 2016, 08:29 AM
Would prefer 'Making the Most of the Night'.

I'm pleased with a video for anything really, it's not in my top 5 of the album but it's not my least fave either and it's super fun.
Do agree with the post immediately above though.

I'm horrified about this, it's actually the one song on the album I really don't like. 
It's annoying as there's such good stuff on this album that may help establish her more credibility-wise, and this is as childish as they come.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeek. Boy Problems is literally one of the very few that I don't like.
But obviously it's just a matter of making a video now. Radio just do not care in the slightest, even if she released the most amazing song of all time.
I'd have personally gone with When I Needed You, Emotion, Warm Blood, All That, LA Hallucinations or I Didn't Just Come Here to Dance.

Warm Blood or IDJCHTD would have been suitable choices. She's doing an Ellie Goulding (which is to avoid all the gems of the album and choose the less shinier ones :/)
Looking back in that rate I only gave it a 7. That makes 6 tracks (As of my preference during the rate) that I would have preferred over Boy Problems.

Boy Problem's is actually one of my favs really excited to see what she does with the video
Posted by: HausofKubrick 10th March 2016, 06:08 PM
I really like this but she needs to stop pushing her more ~child friendly(?) pop~ (sorry I have no idea how to describe it, and that description is so wrong) and go for the deep, sensual stuff that the album has in abundance because that's what she does best. 'Warm Blood' / 'Let's Get Lost' would have been my choices.
Posted by: #CodySlayberry 10th March 2016, 06:09 PM
OMG at Carly still avoiding the two most obvious single choices left: "E•MO•TION" and "Warm Blood" 
Posted by: hotchoc26 10th March 2016, 06:14 PM
I have to agree with this. If I had to criticise on any part of her music it would be the somewhat childish lyrics. Good thing lyrics rarely bother me.
Posted by: -Jay- 10th March 2016, 06:21 PM
Like others I'm pretty disappointed with this choice, but hopefully the video is enjoyable.
Posted by: Mattias 10th March 2016, 06:24 PM
The former is one of my absolute favourites
The latter is one that I thought of as a potential single choice too actually!
Posted by: SevenSeize 10th March 2016, 06:29 PM
I do like 'Boy Problems' so no real issue there 
(y'know, other than the fact they're STILL not going for the amazing title track :\ )

I wanted Let's Get Lost, Emotion or L.A. Hallucinations. However I think Boy Problems, whilst one of my least favourites, is probably the most radio-friendly and commercial song left. Plus it was co-written by one of the biggest artists in the world right now. So if they're making one last ditch attempt at getting a hit single it's probably the right choice (although it's never going to happen, I know).

Adorable 
Don't care that it's not the right single choice, just love seeing more of her lmao.
Posted by: mr_pmt 5th April 2016, 10:26 PM
I'm just going to assume this whole thing is an elaborate joke, in all honesty.
I think her hair looks terrible as well. WHY CARLY, WHY?
Posted by: Joe. 5th April 2016, 10:33 PM
I think the video is pretty cool, haircut aside. Not a boy in sight. 
Posted by: J▲hq 5th April 2016, 10:49 PM
The video doesn't really work for me But the song remains a masterpiece along with everything else on the album
Posted by: Jimmy Jam 6th April 2016, 12:21 AM
The video is okay, doesn't do the song justice imo, it feels half way there, but it's cute
Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 6th April 2016, 08:32 AM
That girl in the coffin taking selfies gives me life.
Posted by: JSG 11th April 2016, 09:22 AM
Warm Blood would have been the perfect single choice imo. Boy Problems is okay but nowhere near the best that there on the Album. It reminds of Katy Perry's - This Is How We Do which wasn't a fave of mine off her album either.
Posted by: Joe. 11th April 2016, 09:24 AM
'This Is How We Do' is one of Katy's best tho
But yeah, as much as the song has grown on me since the video premier, it's in the lower half of the album, quality wise. Not that any song she released would be a hit now anyway.
Posted by: 152chris 11th April 2016, 05:03 PM
the video is amazin but this is DEFO in my bottom 3 of the album.
Posted by: 152chris 11th April 2016, 05:04 PM
tho 'I think I broke up with my boyfriend today / and I don't really care' gotta be some of my fav lyrics of the yr 🙌

I'm absolutely loving this!!! One of my favourites off the album along with I Really Like You, Run Away With Me and the title track
