Listen to Tegan and Sara’s New Single "Boyfriend"

Tegan and Sara are back with the follow-up to 2013′s Heartthrob. Their eighth album, Love You to Death, is out June 3. They’ve now shared the first single from the record, “Boyfriend,” which debuted on Beats 1 this afternoon. Hear it and see the single art below.

Before premiering “Boyfriend,” Sara Quinn spoke with Matt Wilkinson about her inspiration for the track:

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.
