The lyrics of "Boys" by Mutya Keisha Siobhan warns against falling in love with someone who will make you feel ordinary or hurt you like other ladies. The singer conveys her determination not to let any man break her heart again. She asserts her independence and strength, urging the guy to step away and stop trying to mess with her emotions. She calls out the man for having a messy heartbreak in the past and warns him not to try breaking her as well. The chorus emphasizes that the relationship is over, and the man can't kiss her after dissing her. In the end, the singer feels confident and "sitting pretty tonight" despite the boy's advances.
The song "Boys" was originally co-written by Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhán Donaghy for their former band, Sugababes. The trio, known as MKS, recorded the song for their 2013 comeback album.

@TheBoyHype
I love the way Mutya and Keisha smile at Siobhan when she's singing. It's just like "welcome back". So beautiful
@rhas20
9 years later this song is finally out!
@wozniacki15
The perfect combination of voices: Mutya is the bass woman, Siobhan the soprano, and Keisha is mostly in the middle, but she can alternate the soprano part with Siobhan. Love it!!
@chubidelrosario4417
After hearing the album.. Love this song.. Along with drum and today..
@theunimpressedbeetch
I've always like Siobhan! Mutya's low voice gives me chills reminds me of LaTavia's alto voice! Girls more music please!
@natsohigh5552
I'd say she's more of a T Boz. She got the tone and the skill. LaTavia only had the tone unfortunately
@carlocarnaje6918
ICONIC ALTOS
@TheCupcakeCutie22
this is seriously a dream come true for me <3 i always wished Siobahn never left.. heidi never EVER cut it for me..
@kenosan_
Same actually. It seem to me that Heidi didn't really fit with the group
@unidan82
Siobhan's voice is heaven it totally brings the three together :)
