Beyonce
If I Were A Boy
 

If I Were a Boy" is a 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 CD single was released November 11, 2008. The song topped 11 charts worldwide, mostly in European countries.
Up-and-coming singer BC Jean, who wrote most part of the song's lyrics, took inspiration in writing "If I Were a Boy" out 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 BC 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 orignal clip much like the video for Knowles song "Irreemplazable". 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.
