"The Boy Does Nothing" is a song performed by British singer-songwriter Alesha Dixon. It is the lead single from her second studio album, The Alesha Show (2008). The song was written by Alesha along with the help of Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper, Carla Marie Williams, and other members of Xenomania. [1] The single was her first since 2006 after "Knockdown" was released in October of that year. It was also her first since signing with her new record label Asylum Records.

Contents

The song, described as being "the stand-out track" on The Alesha Show, [2] received largely positive reviews and became a commercial success, charting within the top 10 on the majority charts it entered and entering the charts in over 20 different territories worldwide. The single was certified Gold in the United Kingdom and sold over 1 million copies worldwide. [3] [4] Dixon stated that despite the title "The Boy Does Nothing", the song is "not a male-bashing kind of record," [5] explaining that "the lyrical content is just cheeky more than anything". [5]

Background

Dixon had worked with Brian Higgins, of Xenomania, on her previous single, "Knockdown", but it failed to enter the top 40 on the UK Singles Chart, resulting in Dixon being dropped by her record label, Polydor Records. In early 2007, still with no recording contract, Dixon received a phone call from Higgins, who asked if she would like to continue working together. [6] Dixon stated, "The plan was to make the whole record with Brian without talking to any record labels, we were just going to wait until we had made something special and then approach people with a finished album." [6] However Dixon's profile was raised when she signed up to compete in Strictly Come Dancing , which she eventually won. Soon afterwards, Dixon signed a deal with Asylum Records. [7] "The Boy Does Nothing", by this time already written, was originally intended to be a jazz orientated track, but Dixon and Higgins decided to change the genre, incorporating mambo influences, due to her experience on Strictly Come Dancing. [6] Dixon described the song as "a very tongue-in-cheek record" [5] and Higgins likened the song to "bottled happiness". [5]

Music and lyrics

"The Boy Does Nothing" is a pop-mambo song with an up-tempo beat consisting of 88 beats per minute. [8] The original key is E♭ minor. [8] The instruments used were the bass guitar, drums, guitar and the keyboard. [9]

The lyrics focus on the men in Dixon's past relationships and their lazy attitudes. The chorus states her frustration with men not completing everyday housekeeping tasks; "Does he wash up? Never wash up/Does he clean up? No he never cleans up/Does he brush up? He never brushed up". In the final verse the lyrics state, "And if the man can't dance/He gets no second chance"; a reference to her refusal to date men if they cannot dance. In an interview Dixon explained in further detail about the lyric, saying "I have to be honest, I do like a man who can dance, but it's not a deal-breaker. It's nice if they can dance, but if they can't we'll just have to work on other areas!" [10]

Promotion

Dixon performed her new single on the results show of Strictly Come Dancing on 19 October 2008, with the show's professional dancers, including her professional partner whilst on the show in 2007, Matthew Cutler. On 8 November, Dixon performed a 5-song set at London's G-A-Y Club. On 14 November, she presented and performed for Children in Need 2008. She presented at the beginning of the show in the BT Tower, monitoring the calls and donations, and later performed in the BBC Television Centre. On Saturday 13 December, Dixon sang at Miss World 2008, [11] which is said to have been watched by over 2 billion people worldwide. She also performed at GMTV, and on 31 December 2008 she performed on the BBC as part of the New Year celebrations. On 20 February 2009 Dixon performed the single at Le Grand Journal on French TV to promote her single and album in France. [12] Alesha promoted the album in Spain, performing "The Boy Does Nothing" on Operación Triunfo , [13] a reality television show similar to Star Academy . She also performed on other Spanish television shows, such as El Hormiguero .[ citation needed ] In Australia, the song was used to promote the 2009 season of the Australian Dancing with the Stars and has since seen an Australian release, seeing regular radio play. On 20 November 2009, Dixon performed "The Boy Does Nothing" as the opener to Children in Need 2009, which she also co-hosted, alongside Terry Wogan and Strictly Come Dancing colleague Tess Daly. [14]

Critical reception

Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song Star full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar empty.svg stars:

"The Boy Does Nothing", a song that bears more than a passing resemblance to "Mambo No. 5", is a smart choice of comeback single from Dixon. She could easily have wiggled her hips to its salsa-pop rhythms on Strictly, and the cheeky, lighthearted lyrics suit her personality. "If the man can't dance, he gets no second chance," she sings towards the end. On this evidence, Dixon has grabbed hers by the horns. [15]

Pop Justice gave the song a positive review and rated the song Star full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svgStar full.svg:

Starts off like "Mambo No. 5". Ends up like Perez Prado's "Guaglione". Has a brilliant "HEY!" bit in it. Has about 28 different hooks and catchy bits. Will appeal as much to Strictly Come Dancing viewers as it does to annoying self-appointed internet pop 'sophisticates' like us lot. [16]

Music video

The video for "The Boy Does Nothing" is directed by the art director from the film Moulin Rouge! , Michael Gracey, and Pete Commins. The choreography for the music video was created by Ashley Wallen. [17]

The video, filmed in Tottenham Town Hall, [18] takes place in a theatre style ballroom, where two children; one boy and one girl are spying from a balcony onto the stage below, with the gal worrying that they shouldn't be watching. Dixon is dancing on a stage wearing a yellow dress with six other girls dressed in pink. There are also around fifty other audience members, dressed in 1950s style clothing, dancing along as well enjoying the show. Towards the end of the video, everyone starts to sing the last lines of the songs a cappella, and various male dancers try to impress Dixon with their dancing while everyone repeats the verse "If the man can't dance, he gets no second chance".

"The Boy Does Nothing" was nominated in the 'best video' category at the 2009 MOBO Awards, [19] however the award was given to "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" by Beyoncé. [20]
