"Because I Liked a Boy" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It was released through Island Records on July 15, 2022, as the fourth single from Carpenter's fifth studio album Emails I Can't Send (2022). The song is a dark pop ballad which speaks about the emotional turmoil Carpenter experienced on social media platforms.
She co-wrote the song with JP Saxe, Julia Michaels along with producer John Ryan. The song was "therapeutic" for Carpenter to write after being labeled as a "homewrecker", "rebound" and receiving death threats online.
