Family of Ten Boys and 1 Girls Clip Art a Long Line With One Girl in the Back

Every week, a slew of new music videos hits the spider web. Watching them at your desk is not time theft considering you lot deserve it; think of it as a nice reward for surviving some other work calendar week. But what if y'all don't accept time to watch every video — maybe you lot take a deadline, a hungry pet, or other grown-up concerns. In consideration of your schedule, Lizzie and Kaitlyn bring you a series chosen I Video. Each calendar week we'll tell you "1 video" yous need to watch, why, and for how long.

This calendar week's One Video: "Boys" by Charli XCX

Kaitlyn: This week we saw Selena Gomez eat glass and take an eyelash curler to her own tongue. We saw Shania Twain purchase a new carpeting from Target. We saw Kesha's home videos, and nosotros saw whatever Meek Mill is doing at present. But the whole time... we were busy thinking 'bout "Boys."

Lizzie: "Boys" is a video virtually boys interim (or not acting) like cute, weird dorks and also sex objects. In an interview with BBC Radio 1 Charli XCX said she tried to make the boys do "all the sexy things that girls usually practise in videos." This includes things like having giggly pillow fights and writhing around on a bed of rose petals, simply also, apparently, bully a vase on your skull.

Who are the "boys"?

Kaitlyn: The boys are all of Charli's friends, and presumably some of her crushes. There are lx of them, and BuzzFeed identified them all, merely I call up the fundamental boys for me personally are Riz Ahmed, Brendon Urie, and Joe Jonas (considering he's Sophie Turner's boyfriend).

Oh, and give thanks y'all for asking [heavy sigh], Charli XCX is a British pop vocalizer and songwriter. So far her biggest radio hit in the US has been "Blast Clap," from the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It'south amazing that she isn't on the radio 24 hours a day, given the caliber of her spring EP Number 1 Angel (produced past PC Music), which is 100 percent killer trap and trop house-influenced pop songs laced with imaginative invitee choices and lines like "Y'all know I'chiliad saccharide sweet / baby boy gon' rot your teeth." She directed the video, with assistance from Sarah McColgan.

Lizzie: For me, the boys are Joey Bada$$, A.Thou. Cook, and Kaytranada. Too, information technology's crazy that The Cobrasnake, sleaze-male child party photographer from 2007, is in this video. What have you lot been doing Mark, and how did they find you?

What'southward special well-nigh "Boys" past Charli XCX:

Kaitlyn: Thank you for gathering with u.s., hither on The Verge, to gloat a historic day. It's the day that we launch the One Video Extended Universe! "Boys," by Charli XCX, features several boys who have appeared or performed in previous One Video picks, is what I'm saying.

We've got our guy Mac DeMarco, whose romantic afternoon with the Grim Reaper in "One Some other" was a June pick:

We've got California rapper Buddy who taught us what chameleons consume the following week:

And here'south his producer, pal, and Ane Video co-star Kaytranada.

We've even got an oiled-up Jack Antonoff, Lorde's primary Melodrama producer and BFF, who played piano for her while she danced in the bathroom in March's "Greenish Lite."

I'm so glad that all of our boys showed up for united states of america, as Charli'south boys. This is more satisfying to me than any cinematic universe I can name?

Lizzie: "Boys" truly does have a little something for anybody, even if you don't like boys or Charli XCX. Exercise you similar weight-lifting? Pancakes? Puppies?

Do you like Ane Video?

You will similar this video.

How long anybody should scout "Boys" by Charli XCX:

Lizzie: There'southward really no getting out of this 1: all of it.

Kaitlyn: Once in the morning and once at night.

And so you can contribute to this really prissy Twitter thread:

it'southward making me experience amend to call up about who my boys would be and then if you wanna use this thread to say who yours are delight do
