Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Boy Does Nothing. By Songfacts®.

In this song, which was written by Dixon together with the production team behind many of Girls Aloud's hits, Xenomania, the singer berates a boyfriend for his inability to do the housework.

This song resembles Lou Bega's 1999 UK #1 hit "Mambo No 5 (A Little Bit Of)." Dixon explained to the Observer Music Monthly October 2008: "As for the 'Mambo No.5' sound, it just feels right. The song started over as more jazzy, bluesy music, but it ended up going there. We need a good feelgood song now, what with everything going on in the world."

This song was Alesha Dixon's first full single release after winning the 2007 BBC Strictly Come Dancing reality show.
