Bois Lie is a single[edit]

The song has been promoted as a single and has had a whole merch collection released to promote the song. The song was also released as a single on Spotify along with the acoustic. 90.210.220.30 (talk) 00:10, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@90.210.220.30: There is no source to prove Bois Lie is a single, based on factors on the very helpful Singles criteria page that would prove this song is officially a single. Merch definitely doesn't mean the song is a single. The acoustic version was released as a digital single only, and we generally consider such releases as promotional singles, along with all other remixes released separately digitally (perhaps this is just treated as fan bonuses). Some editors wrote in edit summaries the song was to be sent to the radio; until there is no reliable source to prove this, the song shouldn't be considered a single. For now, I would suggest to consider this song only as a promotional single because of the digitally released acoustic version.

@Danionek A few months back in February, Avril stated that the song will be a single in this article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevebaltin/2022/02/20/sunday-conversation-avril-lavigne-on-love-sux-her-relationship-with-her-fans-and-being-grateful/?sh=3b9a67fe314b — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:2817:9800:E99B:205A:8B03:1C32 (talk) 14:53, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

And also recently stated the same thing here in this video: https://twitter.com/VidadefanAvril2/status/1561468094962343936?t=XP6e_sKmajy1KEA_yUo5AQ&s=19 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:2817:9800:E99B:205A:8B03:1C32 (talk) 14:57, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@2A02:C7E:2817:9800:E99B:205A:8B03:1C32: The only mention of Boys Lie in a Forbes article is Avril's answer to the question of which songs from the album she was most excited to bring to the stage. I feel like her answer is weirdly written, but I'm not denying that maybe she actually wanted to reveal she planned to release it as a single. As for this tweet, it's not "recently" — It's a 3rd party user's retweet of a video originally uploaded by Warner Music Brasil on March 2, 2022. I had no idea about this video, but I also have absolutely no idea what she meant then, since nothing happened with this song until now, after 5 months. I still hold the opinion the song should be considered a promotional single because only the acoustic version was released digitally, as we mainly do on Wikipedia with additional versions of songs. We can possibly wait to see if anything else happens with this song, for example if it'll be sent to the radio, which will confirm if it's a regular single.
