Boys Like Girls is the debut album from the band Boys Like Girls.
From late February to late March 2006, the band supported A Thorn for Every Heart on their U.S. tour.
According to a lyric feature written by the album's principle song writer Martin Johnson, the lyrical content of the songs is semi-autobiographical.
Our self-titled debut goes through a series of events throughout the track listing, representing the last two years of my life. Though the songs weren’t composed with that in mind, once they were all recorded it became apparent that there was a story of love, loss, youth, and angst for the future that was waiting to be told. The songs go from optimistic songs and love songs to loss and breakup songs, ending back with “Holiday”, which starts the sequence over and symbolizes moving on and cycles in everyone’s life.
It was released on August 22, 2006 through Columbia Records/Red Ink. The album's lead single was "Hero/Heroine", which was followed by "The Great Escape", and the re-release of Hero/Heroine and then "Thunder".
In February and March 2007, the group supported Cartel on their tour of the US. From early April to early June, the band supported Hellogoodbye on their Two Months Of Spring Break Tour '99 tour of North America. From late June to late August, the band went on the 2007 edition of Warped Tour. Starting in late September, the group headlined the Tourzilla tour. The first part ran from late September to late October and featured All Time Low, The Audition and We the Kings, while the second part ran from late October and continued into November with All Time Low, The Audition and Valencia. During this tour, a deluxe edition of Boys Like Girls was released. The CD came with enhanced content which consisted of a photo gallery, videos of the group's AOL Sessions performance, as well as live footage of "Heels Over Head" and "The Great Escape". The CD features new mixes of "Hero/Heroine" and "Heels Over Head", done by Tom Lord-Alge, and an acoustic version of "Hero/Heroine" as bonus tracks.
