After being dropped by Island Def Jam in January of 2007, GaGa's management wanted to expand her sound by working with other producers. At the time, KNS Productions was under the same management company and wrote three songs with GaGa ("Summerboy", "Heiress", and "Panty Party"). During the demo stages, the song was under the title "Summer Boys". GaGa revealed in an interview that the inspiration behind the song was about dating a guy during summertime and knowing that the relationship will end after the season. She further explained that most girls fall in love during the summer when people wear revealing attire. The ambiguity of the lyrics also made listeners believe that the song is also a metaphor for the transience of stardom; a theme that occurs throughout 'The Fame' era.
"Summerboy" was available on Lady GaGa's MySpace around July 2007 and has performed the song live at Lollapalooza in August 2007. She has not performed the song live since.

Yeah, we're going nowhere fast

Get your ass in my bed

Let's get lost, you can take me home
Somewhere nice we can be alone

The song "Summerboy" by Lady Gaga is about enjoying the summer with someone who won't last past the season, a "summer boy". The lyrics suggest that the singer and the summer boy are not interested in anything serious, they just want to have fun and make the most of their time together. The song acknowledges that their relationship is temporary and that they will part ways when the summer ends, but that they will still have the memories of what they shared.
The lyrics in the refrain about getting lost and being alone imply that they are looking for a secret place to spend time together. They don't want anyone else around, just each other. Lady Gaga's use of the word "crazy" in the first verse also alludes to their carefree attitude and how they are willing to take risks in order to live in the moment.
The song's upbeat tempo and catchy lyrics make it a feel-good summer anthem that celebrates love and adventure. Overall, "Summerboy" is a picture-perfect representation of young, carefree love that is unencumbered by the realities of the future.
