If I Were a Boy

about this song

Beyonce's first single from her third solo studio album "I Am...Sasha Fierce" , is the mysterious and exquisite "If I Were a Boy", painting a picture of infidelity in a gender bending way. Beyonce explores her relationship, "if she were a boy", in a serious, and mournful light. When she hits the chorus, she exclaims all of the things that she would do, that her boyfriend does not. A ballad, a bit of a departure from her previous lead singles, but a welcome one
