"Boys" is the sixth single released in the U.S, UK and in countries such as Australia, from pop singer Britney Spears's 2001 album Britney. The song was released during the third quarter of 2002

The song was written and produced by The Neptunes. For its release, the single was re-vamped as "The Co-Ed Remix", and featured Pharrell Williams on vocals. The track was also featured on the soundtrack for the film Austin Powers in Goldmember. The song shows Spears explaining that even though there are benefits to being single, "boys" are sometimes what a girl needs.

Chart performance

Although "Boys" was meant to be Spears' comeback single in the U.S. after the failure of the rest of the releases from the Britney album (aside from the hit "I'm a Slave 4 U"), it ended up flopping harder than any of her previous singles. The song failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, and peaked only at number twenty-two on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart (equivalent to number 122 if the Hot 100 ran past one-hundred ranks). Regarding Top 40 radio, the single charted only on the lower-half of one of the component charts: the Mainstream Top 40.

It was more successul in Europe reaching the top twenty in most of the counries. The single was a success in the UK debuting at six and selling a total of 74,000 copies, and worldwide has sold over 810,000 copies.
