Bonnie McKee is back with a new song! The Diamond-certified hitmaker just dropped her latest song “Jenny’s Got a Boyfriend,” out now. “‘Jenny’s Got A Boyfriend’ was inspired by a friend’s boyfriend who was a terrible flirt.

He was always giving me and all the other girls the wrong idea!” she explains. “I always wanted to write a song with a person’s name in the title, and when I was listening to some classics, I rediscovered ‘Jesse’s Girl’ and realized I was having the same experience- but I’d never heard the angle of lusting after someone else’s partner through the female lens. ‘JGABF’ is kind of like ‘Jolene’ in reverse, if Dolly’s man were a flirtatious playboy (which maybe he was!)” Keep reading to find out more… The accompanying Boogie Nights-influenced music video was co-directed by Bonnie herself, who also self-produced the visual. “I co-directed the video with my long time collaborator David Richardson.

It’s very difficult to direct when you’re also the main character, and David and I share a love of throwback special effects and comedic storytelling, so I knew he would deliver,” she explains. “It was important to me to highlight the fact that this imagined romance with another woman’s boyfriend was only a fantasy and not something I would actually act on, so we threw in some high-camp light up nether regions to keep the storyline light and playful on a subject that might land me in ‘homewrecker’ territory.

Don’t worry- no boyfriends were stolen in the making of this song!” The track will be featured on Bonnie’s upcoming album, Hot City, which was recorded until a previous major label deal years ago.
