dbpprop:abstract
  • "If I Were a Boy" is a pop song by American R&B singer Beyoncé Knowles. It was written by Toby Gad and BC Jean, and produced by Gad and Knowles for her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce (2008). Alongside "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)", the song was released as the album's lead single to U.S. radios on October 8, 2008. The single has topped 11 charts worldwide, mostly in European countries. "If I Were a Boy" is, to date, Knowles' best-selling single in the United Kingdom with sales of over 500,000 units. Background Up-and-coming singer B. C Jean, who wrote most of the song's lyrics, took inspiration in writing "If I Were a Boy" from a bad break-up. Jean and producer Toby Gad were strolling in Times Square when the former saw hot dogs that enticed her being peddled on the street. According to Del Mar Times, "Jean was lamenting about how she was trying to stay away from [it] and noted how if she were a boy, she could probably eat one without regrets. That led to her musing on how if she were a boy, she'd be so much better than her ex. " Gad asked Jean to "repeat her sentiments into a recorder". They returned to the studio and wrote the song in 15 minutes. Jean recorded her version of the song. Beyonce recorded her version after B.C. Jean's version was rejected by her record company. A Spanish version of the song titled "Si Yo Fuera un Chico" is included on the version of the album sold on iTunes Spain. The Spanish version has an official music video edited from the original clip much like the video for Knowles song "Irreemplazable". "Si Yo Fuera un Chico" has been released as a stand-alone single in various countries, marketed as "Si Yo Fuera un Chico (If I Were a Boy)" to avoid confusion. A remix has been released featuring R. Kelly in which he responds to the comments made by Knowles. The remix is set up as if they were having a conversation. There is another remix with Lee Carr which confronts the song's theme from a male perspective.

  • «Si Yo Fuera Un Chico» - Spanish Version Digital Cover «If I Were a Boy» — Композиція із найсвіжішого альбому Бейонсе I Am... Sasha Fierce, точна дата виходу якого наразі невідома. Від самого початку платівка виконавиці повинна була побачити світ 18 листопада цього року, однак у звукозаписувальній компанії Sony BMG Music несподівано виникли проблеми з виданням диску. Тим часом власник Sony BMG Music на початку жовтня оголосив, що свіжий альбом співачки порадує прихильників високоякісною музикою, над якою працювали передові продюсери. «Бійонсe залучила до роботи над цим лонґплеєм найталановитіших артистів, які зробили все можливе, щоб платівка стала найкращою, - говорить Роб Стрінґер (Rob Stringer), - Я вважаю, що перші два синґли з альбому стануть великими гітами. Це дві найвдаліші композиції за всю кар’єру Бійонсe. Вона гарувала вдень і вночі, щоб записати цей диск і він вже готовий на 98 відсотків. Чесно кажучи, ми всі вважаємо, що це її найкращий матеріал».
