Songfacts®:

  • Much of The Boy Who Knew Too Much is about Mika's adolescence, including this song, which Beirut-born London based singer-songwriter told the BBC News is about, "sitting across the room from somebody and making movies in your head about the romance you could be having because you're totally in love but you don't have the guts to go and say." He added: "You're afraid that you're going to be punched in the face and laughed at, and so you resign yourself to just stalking that person. And I think that was a lot of me during my adolescence."
