Song Of The Week: Summerboy - Lady Gaga

This week, we’re going all the way back to the late 2000s, right to where it all began, Lady Gaga’s debut album The Fame. And yes, we’re talking about that hidden gem that somehow never faded: “Summerboy.”

It’s wild to think this song is 17 years old now, yet it feels as breezy and fresh as ever. Summerboy was recently added to Gaga’s Mayhem Ball setlist for the first time ever. And let me tell you, OG Little Monsters (myself included) lost it. The moment that guitar intro hits? Pure serotonin.

I remember exactly where I was when I first fell in love with this song. I was in my dorm room, getting ready for the weekend, and the vibe was immaculate, and this was my go-to anthem. It wasn’t about the lyrics necessarily, it was the feeling. The carefree energy, the flirty summer mood, the sonic perfection. It just made me want to throw my hands in the air and forget the world for a minute.

And now, listening to it again in 2025, it still evokes the same feeling. Timeless, fun, and full of that early Gaga charm that we all fell for in the first place.

What I love most is that this isn’t just a nostalgic bop, it’s a celebration of how far we’ve all come, Lady Gaga, the fans, and our own personal journeys. “Summerboy” is a reminder of a simpler time, and yet, it still hits just as hard today.

So to all my OG Little Monsters, where does Summerboy take you? Let’s relive the magic.
