What Boys Never Had is a regret-laden ballad that ponders on late night engagements from the vantage point of someone who wants out. Featuring a hypnotic minor chord progression and gritty electronic drums, this single echoes the somber, reverb-drenched feel of an empty dance floor after a long evening. Smoky yet sincere, the lyrics build through the bridge and culminate on a brassy synth line that gently hugs the opening riff—a sad slow dance for one.
