Infobox

• Format the "Recorded" section by putting semicolon after year it was recorded, followed by recording studio, and its location (Ex: 2011; Chalice Recording Studios (Hollywood, Los Angeles)
• "London, England" should not be there unless another studio was mentioned where Bieber recorded the song
• The lead section mentions Bieber co-writing this song, but he is not credited in the "Writers" section

Lead

• "Boyfriend" is a song by Canadian artist Justin Bieber, released as the first single from his third studio album, Believe (2012). → The phrase "studio album" should not be wiki-linked
• As part of promotion for the song, Bieber performed "Boyfriend" at the final second season of The Voice, and the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. → Change "final second season" to "second season finale"; Add "at" between "and" and "the"

Background and artwork

• No issues

Composition

• The tempo of this song is 54 hertz per beat.[6] It is written in the key of Bb minor.[12] → Combine sentences for better prose
• I noticed that at 8 seconds into this Starburst commercial, we hear the whistling sample Bieber used in the song. Perhaps it should be verified? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAOwyzGtVIo2601:200:C000:4D39:88C3:76A8:7AD5:A39F (talk) 00:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Critical reception

• No issues

Chart performance

• The song debuted at number 2 on the chart, only being held off the top spot by "We Are Young" by Fun. and Danielle Monáe. → Change "2" to "two" since it is less than ten; Wiki-link "We Are Young","Fun", and "Danielle Monáe"

Music video

• No issues

Live performances

• As part of promotion for the song, Bieber performed "Boyfriend" at the final second season of The Voice... → Change "final second season" to "second season finale"

Sorry for the late response; I didn't realize you were done addressing all of the issues. Since they have all been addressed, I feel comfortable putting this article into good article status. Keep up the good work! Rp0211 ^(talk2me) 22:40, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Some comments

Lead

• "released as the first single" --> lead single
• "The cover art was released" --> How can a cover art be released? You mean revealed?
• and number two in The United Kingdom" --> 'the' should not have a capital T
• "The song is the second-highest-ever debut digital sales week in the United States, and has also charted at number 10 on the Pop Songs component chart." --> Don't go well in one sentence
• music video --> music video
• "the video broke the VEVO record" --> WHAT record? Should be stated earlier in the sentence

This is from the lead alone. I'll be making more comments soon for improvements. Till 12:37, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Chart performance

• This section is nowhere near as long as it should be. You have to write about all the countries it charted in, as in here.
• "We Are Young" by Fun. featuring Janelle Monáe" --> Song and artists should be wikilinked Oops! Mentioned above.

  Working on it. - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 17:35, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

   Done - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 19:52, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

References

• You need to change every reference that is in capital letters to normal, for example ref. 9 and beyond.
• Refs. 8 and 34 are from Idolator and Buzz Media, both linked twice, so unlink 34.
• Ref 51 --> Work and publisher are: iTunes Store. Apple
• Inconsistency with January 1, 2000 and 2000-01-01. Choose one or the other.
• Ref. 30 is missing the author (if retrieve-able), work and publisher.
