Whoever said “Thou shalt not covet” didn’t know much about making hits. Because the reliable old green-eyed monster is the motivating element of IILLAA’s “Boyfriend,” an irresistibly fervent pop plea delivered to a girl who has the perfect guy, from a girl who wishes she had him instead.

Laying out her case with an impassioned vocal and a halftime rhythm that lend the feel of a grand tragedy, our distraught heroine takes her rival aside and makes it clear just how much she’d prefer it if that fella she’s been swanning around lately were on a different arm. Namely, her own.
