"Boy" is a ballad performed by British duo Erasure. Originally recorded in typical synth pop/Erasure style in 1997, the song appeared on their album "Cowboy". In 2006, Erasure members Vince Clarke and Andy Bell released "Union Street", an album containing past Erasure songs reinterpreted in acoustic and country and western style.

Joined by three additional non-"Union Street" tracks, "Boy" was released by Mute Records as the "Boy EP" — its extended track total made it ineligible for the UK singles chart. The "Boy EP" was released as an album teaser, several weeks before "Union Street". In the United States, "Boy" was made available by Mute as a digital download only.

Also contained in the release was an acoustic version of Erasure's 1985 song "Cry So Easy", found on their debut album "Wonderland". Here, Bell's original vocal was used with new instrumentation. A live recording of an acoustic version of "I Bet You're Mad At Me" is also exclusive to this release (the song originally on the "Nightbird" album), as is "Jacques Cousteau", an electronic Vince Clarke instrumental.
