In February 2011, the band announced they would be going on an indefinite hiatus. On November 17th, 2011, Martin Johnson tweeted "#boyslikegirlsisback", revealing that the group has not broken up but members are taking a rest and engaging in various side projects. The band has released three studio albums: 'Boys Like Girls' (2006), 'Love Drunk' (2009) and 'Crazy World' (2012). They have had three U.S. Top 40 singles as well: "The Great Escape", "Love Drunk", and "Two is Better Than One" (featuring Taylor Swift). In 2022, they started touring again. In 2023, they released "BLOOD AND SUGAR", their first new song in 11 years, and teased a new album.

And the DJ’s playing our favorite song
Well, he’s got me singing na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, hey, yeah
Tell me what you’re drinking, gonna get you right
Tell me little baby, we’ll be rockin’ all night
I wanna get you singin’ na, na, na, na
When it all comes crashing down
Tell me who’s beside
You get one chance, you only get one shot
So come on pretty baby show me what you got
Show me how you sing it na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, hey, yeah
The night flies by, no the sun don’t wait
So smoke ‘em if you got ‘em before it gets too late
Everybody’s singin’ na, na, na, na

I just came home from your Day 2 concert here in Manila and I'm here now still having a hangover from the event (and running through all of their songs here right now)!! Been a fan since high school and now I'm already a working adult and still enjoying listening to you! To me, you are one of those bands whose songs had touched my life all throughout the years. Thank you for all the songs you make and will be making in the future! Lots of love! 😊

Boys Like Girls is my favorite band, so it's no surprise that i LOVE this video! i had no idea martin wrote all the lyrics on that guitar, i love it! and i was surprised to see lyrics on the back of the guitar! we never get to see that side when he's playing the guitar live, so that was cool. :) that was such a creative lyric video. awesome job! :)
