Dove Cameron on \u2018Boyfriend\u2019 going viral Starting off the interview, host Julia Lepidi asked how Dove has been feeling since the release of her song. She replied: \u201cReally wild because right before it came out, like a few days before it came out, there was no plan in ever releasing this song. My mind isn\u2019t caught up yet, and everything kind of happened overnight.\u201d Dove went on to reveal that \u2018Boyfriend\u2019 was actually written and recorded as a demo as a way to \u201cwarm-up\u201d for the recording of her upcoming untitled EP. She had played it in the background of a video, and fans began commenting on it. \u201cSo in January, I decided to put the current audio \u2014 the unfinished demo \u2014 on to TikTok just to be like this is what I\u2019ve been working on,\u201d she added. \u201cI went to sleep and woke up the next day and the audio started blowing up.\u201d The singer went on to explain that she isn\u2019t really interested in social media and didn\u2019t expect anything at all to come from her upload. However, after she revealed the demo recording and it went viral \u2014 fans called for it to be released.
