Tegan and Sara premiered their track Boyfriend on Beats 1 Radio this afternoon. It’s their first single off their upcoming album Love You to Death, which is set to be released on June 3rd. Listen below:

 

Before premiering the track, Sara spoke to host Matt Wilkinson about the song saying, “It’s a pretty straightforward pop song about a relationship that I was getting into with a girl who had never dated a girl before. She had a guy that she was sort of seeing, and we used to joke around that she was treating me like her boyfriend, and I was trying to get her to tie it down. I wanted her to make it official with me. And I think that’s pretty relatable: obviously, being gay, the sort of gender twist in the song. I get that that sometimes doesn’t seem immediately relatable to everybody, whether they’re straight or whatever. But [it’s] this idea that we’ve all been in that situation where we really like someone and we want to make it official, and they’re not ready.”
