Dove Cameron on her career-altering viral single Boyfriend: "It's a queer trope to root for the villain - but they're so much more interesting!"
officialcharts.comLadies first baby, we insist. Dove Cameron's Boyfriend is that rare kind of single that is so, well, singular that it feels to have altered the entire trajectory of an artist's career.
Despite releasing music semi-steadily for nearly three years, this feels like her debut. (Dove's old music pre-Boyfriend has since been removed from streaming services...but don't worry, we ask her about this below.) Since being uploaded as a snippet on TikTok last month, the song has well and truly exploded.
The first taste of a mysterious new project, Boyfriend has become Dove's first ever entry on the UK's Official Charts peaking so far at Number 13.
We jump on the phone with Dove as she's in the middle of finalising edits for the track's upcoming music video. What follows is a wide-ranging discussion on queerness, sexuality and the sheer joy of releasing music that brings you closer to who you've always wanted to be as an artist.
