"
Girls & Boys" is a 1994 song by British
rock band
Blur. It was released as the lead
single from the group's third album
Parklife. Charting at number 5 on the
UK Singles Chart, "Girls & Boys" was Blur's first top 5 hit and their most successful single until "
Country House" reached number 1 the following year. The single was seen as a comeback for the band, who had had a lean commercial period for a couple of years. It surpassed their previous commercial peak "
There's No Other Way" by three spots on the
UK Singles Chart, and saw the group achieve greater worldwide success. In the US, the track reached number 59 on the
Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, becoming the band's second single to hit the chart after "There's No Other Way". It also reached number 4 on the
Modern Rock songs chart.
