Dua Lipa Performs "Boys Will Be Boys" | Women In Music 2020 

she has a wonderful voice

I can't believe the lyrics of this song are so straightforward and yet some people still don't get it

I’m glad she finally performed this song live

People are saying that this song is the worst song in Future Nostalgia. But if its her worst song she is a LEGEND

This song is so important for things that are happening in right now. Not all men are bad but all women are scared. The first verse sums it up perfectly. This song is about how when boys do something its just waved away with this one phase and not taken accountable for their action with cause women to be terrified cause we don't know who the good or bad ones are.

Boys will be boys But girls will be women. This literally gave me chills

“No the kids ain’t alright”... so important

"boys will be boys, but girls be women" that phrase is so powerful. it's saying how boys are allowed to act immature when they are older, but girls have to act older, and as women from a young age edit: wow you people are so contradictory. i posted a two-sentence comment saying how I feel and people have such an issue with it. calm down and get a life oh my gosh

"boys will be boys....but girls would be woman" this song breaks my heart

So many people not understanding the point of the song. "The saying is only used for little kids" no its not. We get sexually harrassed, abused etc and when we talk people say "boys will be boys" to downplay the severity of their actions.

IF YOU’RE OFFENDED BY THIS SONG THEN UR CLEARLY DOING SOMETHING WRONG

Well, once again, this song is depressingly relevant. (Don’t read the replies fml)

Every single track in Future Nostalgia deserves to be a single

Dua’s live performances always sound so accurate to the actual studio versions of her songs.

Future Nostalgia is a Masterpiece.

"If your offended by this song your clearly doing something wrong" "Boys will be boys....but girls will be women" "And put your keys between your knuckles when theres boys around" Some of the most powerful and true lines in the song, if you ask me.

The emotion in her voice is unparalleled and she looks phenomenal

The REAL artist of 2020, what a wonderful year for Dua Lipa!! This woman deserves all for save us.

the dislikes are from people who clearly doing something wrong and they're probably saying...

1) A man can react, a woman can only overreact 2) If a man does something it's strategic, if a woman does the same it's calculated 3) A boy screaming watching a football match is called a die hard fan, A girl does the same is called a crazy obsessive fan The duality we face ......

She looks like a beautiful black swan, she sounds awesome, and the lyrics of the song are on-freaking-point!!!🔥

I am a die hard Taylor Swift fan, like obsessed. Folklore and Evermore are incredible and some of her best work to date, but even I wouldn’t be disappointed if Future Nostalgia won the Grammy for album of the year. It’s one of the best, if not the best album I’ve ever heard. No throwaway songs, just a pure masterpiece. She instantly became one of my all time favorite artists.

i am so sorry for the 97% of women out there. for the other 3% please stay safe. we are all out here praying that your safe out there :)

Just like taylor swift said a man is aloud to react a women can only overeact

Please give her the Grammy already! Every song in future nostalgia is absolutely great! 2020 was definitely her year. She deserves all the recognition

i NEVER expected her to perform this song live. but she DID FOR THIS AWESOME EVENT

She’s literally brave enough to describe what everyone else ignores

The sad thing is I am 13 and have to worry where and when I go somewhere. I didn't even realise I was holding my keys like this. I have to know some self defence to get out of some situations, and I am 13 . I am sorry for anyone who has gone threw this.

Males should be required to listen to this and learn something.

Lyrics: It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down And put your keys between your knuckles when there's boys around Isn't it funny how we laugh it off to hide our fear? When there's nothing funny here (ah) Sick intuition that they taught us, so we won't freak out We hide our figures, doing anything to shut their mouths We smile away to ease the tension, so it don't go south But there's nothing funny now (ah) When will we stop saying things? 'Cause they're all listening No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see 'Cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women I'm sure if there's something that I can't find the words to say I know that there will be a man around to save the day And that was sarcasm, in case you needed it mansplained I should've stuck to ballet (ah) When will we stop saying things? 'Cause they're all listening No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see 'Cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women If you're offended by this song You're clearly doing something wrong If you're offended by this song Then you're probably saying Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women When will we stop saying things? 'Cause they're all listening No, the kids ain't alright Oh, and they do what they see 'Cause it's all on TV Oh, the kids ain't alright Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women Boys will be, boys will be Boys will be, boys will be boys But girls will be women

As an Indian girl , I can relate to this much .. boys will be boys

last summer i was cat called while at the pool with my friends and i was so embarrassed and humiliated that i couldn’t get myself to go back for a few days. the same thing happened to my friend by the same boy few days before. when i told my mom about him and his friends whistling at me and making comments on my body all she said was “well, that’s how boys are.” i was 13.

“ if your offended by this song. your clearly doing something wrong”

This comment isn't original or anything but I just wanted to repeat - When a girl is talking about her experiences getting harassed by boys, or anything like that, it's not the time to say "Not all boys", its the time to just listen, you don't even have to say anything, just nod your head and listen.

this song was made to be performed at this award show !!! she killed it as always

Teach boys in school to respect girls at a young age! I stand by that

This woman has been working so hard this year, like please GOD, someone give her at least a Grammy. I'm so proud of her. It's really inspiring. I love her hard work so much.

I wonder where that choir teacher is at who said her voice wasn’t good enough because she had a low range 🥴😁

This makes me feel like a strong and independent girl who can do anything

you know what really annoys me? that people in this comment section who see a powerful, beautiful woman, talking about the struggles that most girls have or will go through, struggles that have been SUFFOCATED for the ENTIRETY OF HISTORY, and feel the need to say things like "feminists are lying to you", "its not all men" *WE KNOW ITS NOT ALL MEN, BUT ALL WOMEN SUFFER.* all your doing when your saying things like this, is proving Dua's point even further. For all of history, women have been disregarded as lesser than men, and we have been RAPED, HARRASSED, SET ASIDE AS *WORTHLESS*, AND SO MUCH MORE, for what? for your small mindedness and sexism? If you're not mature enough to handle the fact that we're DONE putting up with YOUR BULLSHIT, then LEAVE. go have your temper tantrum in your room and you can come back and talk with all of the big kids when you finally realize that all we want is for people like you to treat us with respect. we deserve so much more than that, respect is the bare minimum. i dont ever want to see another video or another news report of a girl whos been raped or harrassed, ever. it breaks my heart to see that people are still blaming rape on the way a woman dresses. Im not saying that men are terrible or anything, i stand fully against people who think that all men are evil and shit like that. all this is, its a mindset. "women dont wanna be harrassed and they want to be treated the same way as men? how dare they!" I know its more complicated for you all than that and i completely understand that this may a completely innacurate represenation of why you're against feminism, but the feeling I get as a woman, reading comments like "she was asking for it", is hopelessness. Feminism is not all men are terrible, its that women have been pushed around by the men who use their sex and power as a leash to keep women on. I hope that i didnt insult anyone with this, i wrote it while i was sad and my words get all jumbled when my emotions run high, but i hope the message got across okay :) i love you and cherish you, and i hope youll do the same for everyone else and be nice please.

FUTURE NOSTALGIA ALBUM OF THE YEAR

She’s really hitting those “B’s”! Queen of enunciation

Any man who has a daughter/sister should love this. I do and I do.

"girls will be women" . When I was a teenage girl, I had 20's, 30's, year old men telling me I looked so much older, when I told them my age. My age never made them back down, and I thought looking older was a compliment. Now, in my 20's, and still looking pretty much the same as I did at 16, men back down when I tell them my age, they tell me I look younger. Because it was always about preying on me, and now that I am actually older, they know I won't be as easy to trick anymore. To young girls out there, men don't think you're older than your years, they don't think you're more mature, they don't think you're smarter than other teens. They think you're easy prey. Prove them wrong.

She could literally wear a potato sack and I would still admire how beautiful she is.

The first verse is such an encapsulation of how the women of London and the UK feel right now in the wake of such a terrible tragedy. They should feel safe on our streets and sadly that reality is so far off right now. We need to educate boys to not just "be boys".

I give her the award for the best live performance vocals

“If you’re offended by this song, you’re clearly doing something wrong “- Dua

To all the people that disliked this song"if your offended by this song you're clearly doing something wrong", so go get your mentality checked

Robin Gilbert I just want to address some of the comments. Studies show that 97 Percent of women have been harassed. If you don’t know what I mean by harassed, look it up and educated yourself. As @felicity Kirk said, ‘not all men are bad but all women are scared’. Period. In a lot of cases when a women is harassed, authorities usually say things like ‘boys will be boys’. It’s a very real issue that due lipa is addressing and she is so brave. Do not call her an idiot. This issue is affecting all women. Your mothers. Your sisters. Your daughters. Your aunts. Your grandmothers. Your aunts. Your girlfriend. Your wife. ALL.WOMEN. mad respect for dua.

Dua Lipa hit every nail on the head with this song and it's a shame that this song didn't receive the attention 'levitating' did, it's so painfully spot on with everything she mentioned and this message still needs to be carried on

This gave me chills, it’s the “girls will be women” for me

“They do what they see cause it’s all on tv” today’s society

This song is very underrated tbh, this deserves to get the same recognition with Run the World tbh.

If I , wasn't a singer ,I would be a fairy princess ♡• ~ DUA LIPA ~ •♡

Where is the super like button? Thank you Dua Lipa for producing so many awesome songs during these awkward to say the least, times.

Finally! You perform a better song. I know levitating etc from the album are good but the meaning of this song is something society in this modern world need to hear. Its fits on your award, btw. Keep representing women not only for hits but to awaken the minds of people. 💪

God this comment section is so much better than that other one I saw, finally a community that accepts that all men aren't bad but a lot of women are still scared, really emphasizing the impact of a few oppresers and how that affects women. The other one was just blatantly sexist

It’s not all men, but you tell your daughter and female friends to be careful when they go out It’s not all men, but it’s 1 out of 4 women before 16 It’s not all men, but it’s 99% of women Yes, it is not all men, but it is enough. It’s enough to make women scared to leave their home without something for self defense It’s enough to make women scared for their lives Yes, it’s enough, but it’s not taught It’s not taught to young boys that they shouldn’t do something like this Instead of protecting our daughters, educate our sons

I remember shutting all these boys who kept objectifying and sexualizing women and telling them off. I don’t regret doing what i did and being a feminist.

this is probably the most underated but most meaningful song on the album

I never really comment on vids but this is the first song that i really really really find so beautiful im getting so emotional bc this is litterly the truth especially now with Sarah it is soooo awful i can cry all day ab it bc the world is really like that its so sad but SAY HER NAME SARAH EVERARD!

The pain in her voice is insane😍😍🙌🏻❤️❤️ Who all agree?

Songs like this should be trending lol

Every future nostalgia song is a hit she's perfect live can't wait for future nostalgia 2.0

the comments down here further prove that we need songs like these. victim blaming is alive and well.

WHO ELSE HERE IS A BOY AND REALLY ENJOYS THIS SONG!!

I literally cry every time I listen to this song! It's so beautiful and she perfectly explains the time we are going through right now! I love her so much!

We need love is a religion mv and live performance

Dua’s album is so unreal, that even this track considered by many to be the worst is so unbelievably warm and good. One of the strongest albums in the pop music for this generation, if not the strongest.

Chills! This song makes me want to cry. I’m glad that this generation is so much more aware of this problem than mine was.

Ok I’m not personally a dua lipa fan but o have to admit that this sang is perfect for her voice

if you don't stan dua lipa after this, then ur clearly doing something wrong

Literally flawless?! Nothing but respect for MY Woman Of The Year!

This song just shows how much is expected of women. From a young age we are taught to be older and learn things for the future.

As a girl who was sexually touched by my own brother this song is heart felt this is a,aging such a strong amazing and meaning full message.

She is the artist of this decade, Mark my words

This songs hits deep. Let's stay strong, and let's make this world a fairer place

woman's world - Little Mix. they both deserve a performance at these awards.

I just wanna be respected as a woman in every country and religion

when i was younger i was telling my mom about these boys in my class who would always mess with me and make fun of me. her response was “oh, they probably have a crush on you. just ignore them. as you know, boys will be boys.” i dont think when someone is rude to you it should be an excuse that they have a crush on you. after that i was angry at my mom but the boys still persisted to be rude and extremely annoying. the would keep on screaming my name over and over say they were my biggest fan. the would folllow me saying that. that happened for about a week straight. sometimes during recess we would go out on a soccer field and play sports but my friends and i hated sports so we would do cartwheels and hand stands. then one of the kids that bothered me came over and asked if i could do a backflip, i lied and said yes. he laughed and ran to gather his little gang of annoying shirt people. (did i forget to mention these kids were VERY short) they all watched in awe as i stretched my arms and legs pretending to get ready for the flip. instead of actually flipping i just put my hand behind my back and flipped them off. i mean technically it’s a back flip. so after that i felt pretty badass and im not sure anyone read my pointless story but thanks if you did.

She really did that. And she did it PERFECTLY. Dude, the song was perfect for this award event. She's the true artist of this year.

This is what songs should be about. I don't care what this song is ranked, it will ALWAYS be number one. This musical message delivered not only goosebumps, but the most powerful and truthful statement.

So similar to Camila Cabello's performance at the AMAs in 2018....

this song is so real and so important ......

This song is just so iconic. It needs to recognized more.

This song lyrics is true I am not saying that all boys go by the way but most are....

SHE IS THE BEST!!!💜💜 HER VOICE!!!! 😌😌😌

"It's second nature to walk home before the sun goes down" Me a mexican male: same

I got touched when I was 9😞i kept crying and now I don't let a boy touch me without permission

can we just talk about how boys are so perverted at young ages??? this song gave me the chills

To all people who disliked: If u r offended by this song u r clearly doing something wrong🤷‍♀️

I’m 11, is it bad I know exactly what this songs means? Probably.

The sad part is I have been taught that boys will be boys since I was 8 I'm 14 now

Boys will get offended... BUT MEN will understand

The most beautiful woman in music

This song is a masterpiece and Dua is so so so talented, her voice is lovely. I’m in awe (and also a little bit in love because she looks astonishing in this black dress)

Anyone see the way she's standing? She sings this song amazingly but the way she's standing also affects the vibes from it. I'm not saying all this in a creepy way, I'm saying she's standing tall and strong, not putting up with all this. *That* is my opinion of course, you're free to disagree.

Not the boys mad in the comment like if you're mad you're part of the problem
