TEMS’ BOY O BOY VIDEO: A SOFT-SPOKEN THREAT & THE FUNNIEST BREAKUP MOVE EVER
Disclaimer: We at reMARK do not condone violence in any form. But we do condone Tems making heartbreak sound like a bedtime lullaby—while also physically returning a man back to the streets where he came from.
Tems Makes a Diss Track Feel Like a Hug
Tems has mastered the art of making fury feel like a warm embrace. On Boy O Boy, she’s singing about betrayal, disappointment, and the quiet kind of rage that makes you question someone’s survival instincts—yet she does it all with a voice so soft and hypnotic that you almost don’t clock the actual violence in the subtext.
She’s threatening, but in the most elegant, composed way possible. And somehow, that makes it even scarier.
It’s giving: “I’m not mad, just disappointed… and also, you should probably run.”
The Boy O Boy Video: When She Says “Go Back to the Streets,” and Means It
Visually, this video is beautiful and dramatic in the best way. The moody lighting, the slow motion, the way she stares into the camera like she’s watching your life choices fall apart in real time—it all adds to the don’t play with me energy of the song.
But the real moment? The way she physically drags this man and dumps him onto the pavement.
Sir, your Uber has arrived. The streets are waiting.
Tems didn’t just break up with him—she escorted him out of the relationship like security at a club. And the best part? She looks completely unbothered while doing it.
It’s petty, it’s poetic, and it’s absolutely hilarious.
It’s Giving Me, Myself and I
From the self-reflection to the wardrobe choices, it’s hard not to see the parallels between Boy O Boy and Beyoncé’s Me, Myself and I. Just like Bey in 2003, Tems uses this video to reclaim her power, processing heartbreak with grace instead of chaos. The styling also adds to the narrative—sleek, minimal, yet effortlessly powerful.
The draped gowns, the moody lighting, the way she carries herself with calm detachment instead of dramatic outbursts—it all feeds into the idea that this isn’t just about getting over someone, it’s about realizing they were never on your level to begin with.
Tems is in Her Soft-Spoken Threat Era
Boy O Boy isn’t just a heartbreak anthem—it’s a subtle warning. Tems is here to let you know you messed up, but she’s not going to yell about it.
No, she’ll just:
✔ Sing about it beautifully.
✔ Make you question your decisions.
✔ Gently return you to the community like an unclaimed package.
Honestly? Iconic behaviour.
