"'A Boy'" (, 'Sonyeoniyeo') is a song recorded by the South Korean singer G-Dragon. It was released as the fourth and final single from his debut album 'Heartbreaker'. G-Dragon stated that the song was released as an answer to the plagiarism controversy that surrounded his singles "Heartbreaker" and "Butterfly" when several people were telling him to quit singing, with G-Dragon answering that he "will not quit."
Release
Although the end of G-Dragon's music video for "Breathe" included a teaser the music video for "A Boy", the single was not released as the next single.
