Infobox

 * Format the "Recorded" section by putting semicolon after year it was recorded, followed by recording studio, and its location (Ex: 2011; Chalice Recording Studios (Hollywood, Los Angeles)
 * "London, England" should not be there unless another studio was mentioned where Bieber recorded the song
 * The lead section mentions Bieber co-writing this song, but he is not credited in the "Writers" section

Lead

 * "Boyfriend" is a song by Canadian artist Justin Bieber, released as the first single from his third studio album, Believe (2012). → The phrase "studio album" should not be wiki-linked
 * As part of promotion for the song, Bieber performed "Boyfriend" at the final second season of The Voice, and the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. → Change "final second season" to "second season finale"; Add "at" between "and" and "the"

Background and artwork

 * No issues

Composition

 * The tempo of this song is 54 hertz per beat.[6] It is written in the key of Bb minor.[12] → Combine sentences for better prose
 * I noticed that at 8 seconds into this Starburst commercial, we hear the whistling sample Bieber used in the song. Perhaps it should be verified? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAOwyzGtVIo2601:200:C000:4D39:88C3:76A8:7AD5:A39F (talk) 00:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Critical reception

 * No issues

Chart performance

 * The song debuted at number 2 on the chart, only being held off the top spot by "We Are Young" by Fun. and Danielle Monáe. → Change "2" to "two" since it is less than ten; Wiki-link "We Are Young","Fun", and "Danielle Monáe"

Music video

 * No issues

Live performances

 * As part of promotion for the song, Bieber performed "Boyfriend" at the final second season of The Voice... → Change "final second season" to "second season finale"

Release history

Lead

 * "released as the first single" --> lead single
 * "The cover art was released" --> How can a cover art be released? You mean revealed?
 * and number two in The United Kingdom" --> 'the' should not have a capital T
 * "The song is the second-highest-ever debut digital sales week in the United States, and has also charted at number 10 on the Pop Songs component chart." --> Don't go well in one sentence
 * music video --> music video
 * "the video broke the VEVO record" --> WHAT record? Should be stated earlier in the sentence

This is from the lead alone. I'll be making more comments soon for improvements. Till 12:37, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Chart performance

 * This section is nowhere near as long as it should be. You have to write about all the countries it charted in, as in here.
 * "We Are Young" by Fun. featuring Janelle Monáe" --> Song and artists should be wikilinked Oops! Mentioned above.
 * Working on it. - Saulo  Talk to Me 17:35, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
