Songfacts®:

  • This song isn't a jibe at the Irish boy band, but titled just because the group's Angus Andrew and Aaron Hemphill enjoyed the compound words phonetic structure. "There was a point where we could have spent a lot of time worrying about changing it, but we were in a 'f--k it' mindset," Andrew told NME. "We called it 'Boyzone' before we heard of these people; there was no hemming or hawing or anything."
