For a Boy

"For a Boy" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist RaeLynn.

[1] RaeLynn told Entertainment Tonight that "I wrote it about this dinner date I went on, and this guy was super transparent with me and kinda wore his heart on his sleeve…You know, guys always wanna be macho and that kinda thing, so I had this idea of 'for a boy, this guy's pretty transparent and cool.

'"[2] Giving it a "C", Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe wrote that "She’s simply too green for me to take seriously her low level of expectations for both genders.

'For a Boy' is decently constructed, has a production that recalls SHeDAISY, and she sings it just fine.

The song peaked at #58 becoming her lowest charting single to date.
