Fletcher’s latest single “Boy”, released ahead of her upcoming album Would You Still Love Me If You Really Knew Me? (out July 18, 2025), unveils a deeply personal revelation—she’s fallen in love with a man for the first time.
Known for her openness about her queer identity and writing about relationships with women, this song surprised both her and her fans.
Despite the unexpected shift, Fletcher remains proudly queer, sharing that this experience reflects emotional growth, not a change in identity. She credits her Lyme disease diagnosis in 2023 for opening her heart in new ways, which helped her reconnect with love.
Boy Fletcher Lyrics
I’ve been sitting on a secret
And I don’t think I can keep it anymore
I’ve been hiding out in Northern California
Where nobody knows who I was before
Where they won’t judge in the morning
We were counting down, the music stopped
We were waiting for the ball to drop
I closed my eyes and I leaned in
I kissed a boy
And I know it’s not what you wanted to hear
And it wasn’t on your bingo card this year
Well, it wasn’t on mine
I fell in love
And it wasn’t with who I thought it would be
And I’m scared to think of what you’ll think of me
His lips were soft
I had no choice, I kissed a boy
Laying my cards on the table
I’ll admit I don’t know how to label it (Oh)
You can think that I’m a hypocrite, that’s cool
I’m just following my heart, is what it is (Mm)
And only time will tell
If I will or won’t do this again
Maybe I’ve changed or maybe it’s just him
But I leaned in and kissed a boy
And I know it’s not what you wanted to hear (Oh)
And it wasn’t on your bingo card this year
Well, it wasn’t on mine
I fell in love (I feel in love)
And it wasn’t with who I thought it would be (Oh)
And I’m scared to think of what you’ll think of me
His lips were soft
I had no choice, I kissed a boy
Ooh
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Ooh
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
I kissed a boy
And I know it’s not what you wanted to hear
And it wasn’t on your bingo card this year
Well, it wasn’t on mine
I kissed a boy
