"Boys in the Summer" is a song co-written and recorded by American country pop singer Jessie James.

It was released June 29, 2010 through Mercury Records and the Island Def Jam Music Group as the intended lead single from her unreleased second studio album, Daughter of a Gypsy.

[1][2] Different mixes of the song were produced for pop and country radio formats, positioning James as a potential crossover artist following the mainstream success of her debut single, "Wanted", the previous year.

Two slightly different music videos were produced for the song (one for the pop version and one for the country), both directed by Roman White.

[3][4] They were filmed on May 18, 2010 and premiered June 18, 2010 as part of CMT's Big New Music Weekend.
