"Tomboy" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle for their first studio album I Never Die.

It incorporates guitar riffs, drum beats, and lyrics that revolve around breaking the mold of being a perfect girlfriend.

On February 17, 2022, Cube Entertainment announced (G)I-dle would be releasing a new album in March 2022 as a five-member group after Soojin, who was embroiled in a school bullying controversy, departed in August 2021.

It is set to reverberating guitar riffs and drum beats with lyrics about "independent and breaking the mold [of] being a 'perfect girlfriend'".

[15] Similar to Billboard, Teen Vogue's Anton Rohr praised the song's punk production, message and lyrics.

He furthermore praised the hook for combining the "members’ unique voices with a rough instrumental sound, and the addictive variation.

"[17] The Telegraph's Nandini Chakrabarti wrote that "the lyrics connected with audiences worldwide and paved the way for the group to emerge from its downfall in 2021.

He also noted that unlike other groups, (G)I-DLE embraced pop punk, distinguishing themselves with the genre's infectious melodies and straightforward lyrics.

[52] The music video, directed by Samson of High Quality Fish, was released by Cube Entertainment on March 14.

[53][2] It was described as "vibrant and powerful" and featuring "[the quintet in] Y2K-inspired alternative fashion [causing] havoc across the [scenes] with badass explosions, casual vandalism and boss choreography [in the first half]" before transitioning to "portray [the quintet] as dolls who work together as a team to drug, kidnap and rid themselves of a male doll who serves as [their] 'love interest'".

In the third week, the group performed on Mnet's M Countdown on March 31[69] and SBS's Inkigayo on April 3,[70] where they won first place for both appearances.
