"Boys (Summertime Love)" is a tune by Italian singer Sabrina, released in May as the third single from her self-titled debut studio album ().

The tune topped the charts in France (where it became the first number-one single by an Italian singer since [2]) and Switzerland, while peaking within the foremost five in Austria, Belgium, Finland, West Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden.

It was Sabrina's first single to be released in the Together Kingdom, reaching number three on the UK Singles Chart in June Outside Europe, "Boys (Summertime Love)" peaked at number 11 in Australia and number six in South Africa.

The tune was re-released as a remixed version twice: in France in , retitled as "Boys '95", and in as "Boys Boys Boys (The Dance Remixes)".

Critical reception

William Shaw from Smash Hits wrote that Sabrina "sings a rather nicely inane tune about boys which jigs about infectiously enough as eurodisco tunes invariably do, but which is somewhat marred by the fact that it's all about hanging around on the beach in the summertime, which is rather inappropriate in January."[3] Another editor, Richard Lowe, said, "Well, it's another brilliantly tragic disco record and if it's not a strike this summer after spurring millions of people to make buffoons of themselves in discos while on 'vacation' I'll eat my hat."[4] In his review published in Record Mirror, James Hamilton described the song as a "plaintively squawked simple sing-song bpm Eurobeat canterer from Italy".[5]

Music video

The accompanying music video for "Boys (Summertime Love)" was filmed at the Florida hotel in Jesolo, Italy.

In it, Sabrina splashes about in a swimming pool, while her bikini top keeps sliding down, thus repeatedly exposing varying amounts of her nipples.[6] As a result, the BBC added black bars around the image when the video was aired on Top of the Pops in June , effectively cropping it into widescreen.

It remains one of the most downloaded video clips on the Internet.[7]
