Originally released as one of the B-Sides for the “1979” single, guitarist James Iha described this song to Guitar World in 1997 as…“a New Wave song.” As he continues the interview, he speaks more about how the music for this tune was created:

I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh, and every time I heard you breathe
Well I sighed
Ooh, and every time I saw you bleed
Well I cried
Love is like a song
And if you sing
If you ever need me
I'll be there in a while
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
Ooh, and everytime that I'm with you
I'm alive
Ooh, and everytime I think of you
There's a light
And I felt it, too
In my heart is a spring
Is a well, if you need
If you drink, if you heal
If you believe in
Every little part of me is a part of you
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
I can't stop, I can't breathe, I can't think
I'm in love again
I don't need, I don't eat, I don't sleep
I'm in love again
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
The boy, the boy's in love
The Boy was written by James Iha.
The Boy was produced by Billy Corgan & Kerry Brown.
The Smashing Pumpkins released The Boy on Mon Jan 22 1996.
James Iha had this to say about “The Boy” in a 1997 interview:
This is a New Wave song that has the power-pop Jazzmaster with a warped neck that looks cool but isn’t really good to play. There’s also this funny guitar-drum break in the middle of the song where I hang a chord and use the whammy bar....
