"Silly Boy" is a 2009 electropop song recorded by Dutch recording artist Eva Simons. The song was released digitally on 31 July 2009, then on CD by EMI Music Germany on 4 and 14 September in Germany and Europe, respectively. It was released as a digital EP in the United Kingdom by Virgin Records that October.[1][2][3][4][5]
"Silly Boy" was recorded by Simons and producer Tearce "Kizzo" Keaz in August 2008 and leaked on YouTube in April 2009.[1] She was initially upset about the leak but said she was thankful for helping it gain exposure. She later shared that while it was "cool to hear [her] song on the internet" at first, getting credit for the song was difficult.[6][7] Billy Mann from EMI said the song "capture[d] her fabulous energy and strength of personality."[1]
The music video, directed by Micky Suelzer and Daniel Warwick, premiered on 30 July 2009 on both Simons' website and YouTube. The video shows Simons styling a large hairdo and a wearing a silver sparkly outfit during dance scenes, an outfit covered with plastic straws and a black jumpsuit during car scenes. Throughout the video, Simons is shown in a corridor with letters spelling out her name, and dancing with a team of backup dancers during the chorus of the song. She is also shown in a car, which she later gets out of, slams the door of, and gets back into. The video features a very Disturbia-esque dance routine and Eva wears disco ball-themed clothing.[citation needed]
