"Boy Problems" has been cited as a "peppy" '80s inspired synth-pop track. ==Background and development== "Boy Problems" was the first song to be created for Emotion, developed by Jepsen and her guitarist during The Summer Kiss Tour sometime in 2013 following a "painful" break-up between Jepsen and her boyfriend at the time. Writing continued later with Greg Kurstin and Australian singer-songwriter Sia, someone who Jepsen had been a "huge fan of" and would work with again later during the development of Emotion on the track "Making the Most of the Night". Sia would then go on to have a talking part at the start of the song which Jepsen was "stoked about". ==Music video== "Boy Problems" received a music video on the same day it was released as a single from Emotion. It was directed by Petra Collins and features Tavi Gevinson, Barbie Ferreira and Paloma Elsesser. Collins had initially reached out to Jepsen requesting to make a video for her personal favourite track of the album to which Jepsen accepted. Jepsen has stated she was a "huge fan" of Collins work. Following Collins' request, the two met up in New York to conceptualize the music video. In February 2016, Jepsen had teased the music video for "Boy Problems" in an interview with Nexus, stating that "we have been cooking up something very special with Petra Collins". The music video has been referred to as 'girly', 'glittery' and 'sparkly'. ==Credits and personnel== Adapted from liner notes of Emotion.
