Beneran! Saat mendengar single 'Boyfriend' dari Justin Bieber, kita disuguhi vibe musik yang Justin Timberlake banget, dalam naungan musik urban yang terinfluens oleh Timbaland. Padahal, saat melihat nama di balik layarnya, tak ada satupun mereka terlibat disana. Tapi ada Mike Posner yang jelas-jelas kerap kita kaitkan pada JT tatkala beliau muncul ke kancah musik. Maka jadi oke dengan JT dan Timbo sebagai dua musisi yang sangat berpengaruh dalam olahan musik rapi dan bercorak ini.
Mengutip dari sebuah majalah remaja yang menobatkan Justin Bieber sebagai "everyone's fave boyfriend", artis asal Kanada ini sendiri yang menyatakan bahwa dirinya memang benar adanya seorang yang romantis dan gemar memanjakan kekasih. Seperti itu pula yang ia ungkapkan lewat single ini. "If I was your boyfriend, I’d never let you go/ I can take you places you ain’t never been before/ Baby, take a chance or you’ll never ever know/ I got money in my hands that I’d really like to blow/ Swag, swag, swag on you/ Chillin' by the fire while we eatin’ fondue." Kurang lebih hal-hal demikianlah yang menggambarkan keromantisan yang bersedia Justin lakukan bagi sang kekasih.
Perhatikan bagian verse lagu ini yang dibuat sedemikian rupa menyerupai rap, pre-chorus dan bridge yang ditampilkan semanis mungkin dalam lantunan falsetto, kemudian di bagian chorusnya yang nyaris bersemangat. Jelas sudah, Justin tak mau terperangkap dalam keceriaan musik pop yang cenderung dinilai kekanakan. Maka dari itu, dirinya lebih nyaman mengambil rangkaian nada yang tak terlalu kaya antusiasme kebisingan sehingga bisa menampilkan sisi diri yang mendewasa. Dan oh ya, durasi lagu yang nyaris 3 menit rasanya sangat kurang, membuat kita ingin play back lagi dan lagi!
