"Beach Boy" is a song by New Zealand singer Benee. It was released through Republic Records on 3 February 2022, as the second single from her third EP, Lychee. The song peaked at number 7 on the New Zealand Hot Singles Chart.
Background Speaking about the song to Stereogum, Benee said: "It’s about being happy alone, but still wanting some love; wanting the thrill without the pain. It was the first time I’d worked with Greg Kurstin, and it was so sick...we got on super well, and I love this track...I think it is perfect for cruising down the freeway with the top down." In an interview with Rolling Stone Australia, Benee also said:
Critical reception Erica Campbell of NME called the track a "dreamy, summer-infused love song," and Robin Murray of Clash said the track was a "breezy return."
