In the 24^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz (2025), we break down “boy for the weekend” performed by marc indigo.

“I got my eye on the ceiling / You throw my pants on the floor / I was just thinking ‘bout leaving / We shouldn’t speak anymore.” Hmm, what is going on here, marc indigo? Better yet, what is going down ? He memorably continues in the chorus of the brief “boy for the weekend”, “I’m crawling into your collarbones / Where love is impossible / But I can be your boy for the weekend.”  Whoa! That ‘collarbone’ lyrics is the sugar honey iced tea! “Boy for the weekend” raises plenty of questions as a listener.  Who is this relationship between? Is this about a same-sex relationship, by chance? While no answers are provided, there is a connection, but it is casual, sexual, and temporary instead of emotional and long-term.  After all, in those collarbones, love is impossible.

The physical nature of the relationship is confirmed in the first verse: “And I know I’m supposed to let  you go, but I’m weak / You call my phone and come on over just to dirty the sheets / …And your pretty face is making me do things that I shouldn’t.” Indigo adds that this person “Only love me from the waist down / Such a pretty little liar.”  Lyrics like that again toy with whom this relationship is with.  Size matters… to some.  Anyways, While indigo enjoys the sex, he seems to be pining for more, yet, he cannot seem to leave.  It is interesting.  Beyond the songwriting, there is plenty to praise about the song.  Indigo sings well, serving up light, easy-going vocals.  It sounds as if he barely breaks a sweat.  The musical backdrop is light initially, featuring finger snaps, guitar, and keys initially. As the song progresses, the accompaniment fills out.  Lovely background vocals support him, upping the ante.  Who’s boy is marc for the weekend? Is he a pretty girl’s boy, or a pretty boy’s boy? Ultimately, it doesn’t matter. “Boy for the weekend” is short but utterly sweet, “pants on the floor” and “Crawling into your collarbones!”
