In 2000, Sia signed to Sony Music's sub-label Dance Pool and released her second studio album, Healing Is Difficult, the following year. Displeased with the promotion of the record, she signed to Go! Beat and released her third studio album, Colour the Small One, in 2004. The project struggled to connect with a mainstream audience, and so Sia relocated to New York City in 2005 and began touring across the United States. She released her fourth and fifth studio releases, Some People Have Real Problems and We Are Born, in 2008 and 2010, respectively. She then took a hiatus from performing, during which she focused on songwriting for other artists. Her catalogue includes the successful collaborations "Titanium" (with David Guetta), "Diamonds" (with Rihanna) and "Wild Ones" (with Flo Rida).
In 2014, Sia released her sixth studio album 1000 Forms of Fear, which debuted at No 1 in the U.S. Billboard 200 and generated the top-ten breakthrough single "Chandelier" and a trilogy of music videos starring child dancer Maddie Ziegler. In 2016, she released her seventh studio album This Is Acting, which spawned her first Hot 100 number one single, "Cheap Thrills". The same year, Sia gave her Nostalgic for the Present Tour, which incorporated performance art elements. Sia has received an array of accolades, including ARIA Awards and an MTV Video Music Award.

Whatcha got for me, whatcha got in store?
Hey boy
Damn you're so sexy, got me wanting more (yeah)

I want you to stop and come on by
Hey boy, won't you come, come around town?
Hey, hey boy (oh)

Come and pull up, pull up, pull up
In your hoopty ride boy, ok boy (oh)
Hey boy, better run, better run now

Hey boy, when I get with you
My heart is satisfied
Oh yeah boy, when I get with you
All I need is one night, yea
Not going to be single, not tonight
Am I going to be single all my life?
I want you to stop and come on by
'Cause you know what us single women like (oh)
Hey boy, won't you come, come around town?

Hey boy
In Sia's song "Hey Boy," the singer is expressing her desire for a man. She is asking him what he has to offer her and what he has in store. She finds the man so irresistible and sexy that she wants more of his attention. She also expresses her frustration over the prospect of being single for the rest of her life. She wants the man in question to stop by and visit her, as she believes that he knows what will make her happy as a single woman.
The chorus of the song encourages the boy to come to town, but also to run away or better yet, run towards her. She wants him to pull up in his car, and has no problem with it being a hoopty as long as he pulls up. The singer does not want to be single for the night, and if the boy comes through, her heart will be satisfied for that one night.
