Hvornår blev if i were a boy udgivet?
2008
"If I Were a Boy" er en sang sunget af den amerikanske sangerinde og sangskriver Beyoncé fra hendes tredje studiealbum I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008). Den blev skrevet af BC Jean og Toby Gad, som også stod for produktionen sammen med Beyoncé. Sangen var inspireret af det svære brud på et romantisk forhold og blev oprindeligt indspillet af Jean, hvis pladeselskab dog havde afvist den. Beyoncé indspillede derefter sin egen version af sangen. Jean blev ked af det, da hun fik at vide, at Beyoncé ville udgive den som single, men til sidst nåede de frem til en aftale. Columbia Records udgav "If I Were a Boy" til amerikansk radio den 8. oktober 2008 som en dobbelt A-side på singlealbummet sammen med "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" som forsingler. De to sange viste kontrasten mellem Beyoncés personlighed og hendes aggressive persona på scenen, Sasha Fierce. En spansk version af sangen, med titlen "Si Yo Fuera un Chico", blev udgivet digitalt i Mexico og Spanien.
