A note from Ingrid on the video:
Girls Chase Boys started out as a break up song but took on a deeper meaning as I continued writing. More than just being about my experience, its focus shifted to include the idea that, no matter who or how we love, we are all the same.
The video takes that idea one step further, and attempts to turn stereotypical gender roles on their head. Girls don't exclusively chase boys. We all know this! We all chase each other and in the end we are all chasing after the same thing: love.

As a heterosexual male, this song and video has been one of my guilty pleasures for a long time. I love to see how confident and beautiful the men are. It helps me remember that it's okay to want to be pretty sometimes.

im right here with ya bro

[@1ofthewizards330]

It's all good man. I've been a pretty boy all my life and it's hard being a heterosexual pretty boy adult, but in highschool lots of girls chased me. If you need makeup and fancy clothes to feel pretty that's cool, or if you have a thin build with fine facial features, bright hair and bright eyes that's cool too.

Note to the world "All the broken hearts in the world still beat, let's not make it harder than it has to be."

[@majimespirit8421]

That's what hooked me on this song. At the time I first heard it my son had broken my heart with really poor choices. I was so broken; cried a lot. In time he realized that he had made a huge mistake; and he got back on track! Time heals all wounds and love conquers all. All kinds of love! Parent's love for child is strongest love of all!

Let's add that most suicides are committed over a broken heart. So no, not all of them still beat.

[@BabylonGateLA]

@@sophomoric1605 We still here aren’t we!?

[@osnapitzjano]

It's really ironic how upset people are getting over this video. In case you didn't read the video, this music video is a homage to Robert Palmer's music video for Simply Irresistible. This music is an exact replica of the music video for Simply Irresistible apart from the genders that are being exploited are reversed. Ingrid is showing how we, as a society, are okay with females being used as sexual icons (like they are in Palmer's music video) but as soon as males are seen as feminine or sexual icons (like they are in Michaelson's music video) there is a massive uproar. This music video is pretty genius if you ask me and my respect for Ingrid Michaelson has only just increased.

[@mikaileecoates6693]

I so agree with you

[@RESMITHcarpentry]

osnapitzjano Yes exactly!

[@indiolopez5839]

Roxanne Smith

[@olemew]

osnapitzjano Well, then she failed cause there has not been a "massive" uproar (you can check the like/dislike bar). And males are being objectified all the time. PS: I like both the song and the video.

[@pluckyduck11y]

osnapitzjano I find that it proves how feminists who rant about "objectification" in music videos are hysterical and not to be taken seriously. The roles are reversed here and there is no uproar. The approval rating is over 90% positive and looking over the top comments, no one is outraged. They actually went out of their way to provoke it, and virtually nothing happened. No one cares about objectification unless it's the helpless women with no agency - the preposterous argument cock-skinning feminazis constantly inundate us with.

In 2014, when I was two months away from leaving Manhattan, I got a job at a coffee shop in midtown. I was broke and had to walk from 85th and Amsterdam to 44th and 6th. This song was on my playlist during my trek and made my departure easier. Chvrches has been one of my best friends since.

Such an underrated song its crazy. Literally lives rent free in my head. Also idk why but her appearance and voice makes my soul feel warm

[@ChrisLamberts]

This video is a piece of art, if you didn't read the title this is an "Homage to Robert Palmer's "Simply Irresistible". It represents how society is ok with girls being used as sexual icons and how a reverse act of males as sexual icons can cause an uproar and by the looks of the comments this is what happened. Goal achieved. It's time to educate people about sexuality, sex, gender, and gender roles.

[@TigerMonthlyHits]

I think the video is deeper than that though, because men are sexualized every day in the industry. Just because you put a man in a dress and put makeup on him doesn't really sexualize him. It just makes him look more feminine.

[@paulinaacosta5566]

yo are so right! I am feminist jeje i like this video.

[@eagleblackbelt]

I personally think this video puts all the men and women involved into about the same light. The women backup dancers are wearing very right clothing as well as the men and even Ingrid herself is wearing a much more revealing outfit than she usually does in a music video.

[@hollygaskin4771]

Thank you, Chris!

[@jetsabo]

I agree, Chris;Thank you for your insightful and intelligent post.

Fun fact: Did you know makeup was originally made for men and reached its highest peak in Europe when Louis XVI wore it. Because he wore it many male aristocrats wore it too.

Seven years later, I'm a teenager, and this song is still superior and is constantly stuck playing on repeat in my head.

[@WDC_OSA]

I used to work in a casino, and this was one of the few songs they played over the intercom that didn't make me want to die. I could barely hear it, as with most of the music on their playlists, so I never knew what to look up. Today my telephone identified it while it played in a store, and now it's so fulfilling to play it through proper headphones and hear the texture of it all. Delightful song, lovely lyrics.

My sister played this in the car and gave me nostalgia. Ngl I’m sorta mad my mom was making fun of this, it’s an amazing song and we all know the meaning right now. I want to hear this in the radio.

[@ForNowItsMatt]

There's an unescapable message of equality of men and women here. Women are stronger than we give them credit for and can, in fact, be the pursuer rather than the pursued. I think it breaks down the sexist stereotype and when it comes down to it, we're all just people loving people. Not men, women, transgendered, gay, straight, bi... We're people pursuing people. Maybe I'm just reading into too much but that's what I get out of this :)

[@PurpleDerpy]

Just gonna say this. If the video makes you uncomfortable, ask yourself why. Admittedly, I was watching this for the first time and I was a little put off by the big muscular men in rather feminine clothing and makeup. But then I realized, there's nothing to be uncomfortable about. Listen to the words. "It's all the same thing." It's not about gay rights, it's about gender roles! A man in a dress and capris, whatever. A girl in baggy jeans and a hoodie, so what? Seriously consider it. Why do we apply gender to clothing and inanimate objects? And then, why does it matter?

[@bradfranks3428]

Bit early for that type of evolutionary thinking from a existential point of view I can comprehend but for a more practical world we must apply Occam's razor for the sake of conventional thinking quick albeit unreasonable applications of disposition to any social apparatuses i.e. clothing, face paint, etc. are created for the need for order.

i can’t believe this song is 7 years old. i remember when it first came out. oh my :-/

[@mattnelson610]

A HOTTER VERSION OF SARAH PALIN??? BUT NONE THE LESS I FREAKIN LOVEEEEEEEEEE THIS SONG

[@mattnelson610]

***** WELL THANK U :*

[@jaxon19kira]

Why is everyone acting like this song is about gay rights. This song is about gender equality in relationships. Girls chase boys , just like boys chase girls. They both break each others hearts unlike how it used to be portrayed that girls were property and guys only hurt them. because truth is we hurt eachother. The video is a spoof of the mv for "simply irresistible". it portrays boys and girls the same wearing the same silly outfits because were all equally at risk when in a relationship. like literally saying its about gay rights is stupid.

[@wjmwhite09]

The perfect explanation of this video :-D

[@flamegod321]

you are very close, here is a quote from ingrid "Girls Chase Boys started out as a breakup song but took on a deeper meaning as I continued writing. More than just being about my experience, its focus shifted to include the idea that, no matter who or how we love, we are all the same. The video takes that idea one step further, and attempts to turn stereotypical gender roles on their head. Girls don't exclusively chase boys. We all know this! We all chase each other and in the end we are all chasing after the same thing: love."

[@ShamrockParticle]

Critical thinking - a skill I thought was long-lost amongst our peers. Thank you!

[@aubreystewart3772]

All of these are the best, and genuine, interpretations of a video

[@rhodes1737]

thank you! Finally someone actually understands...

[@anoja31]

Always forget the name of this song and then find it again. Such a bop

[@bradleymeyer9775]

I first heard this in late August 2014, and it was the first day of my freshman year of high school, and this was playing on the radio in the school bus.

[@meg2815]

words can't describe how much I love this song and video

[@BeKindforOthers]

I'm really into this song, but don't forget: Boys chase girls Girls chase boys Girls chase girls Boys chase boys Love this 👌

[@isabelwhatley4344]

"It's all the same thing"

[@jinxidiot2166]

🏳️‍🌈

[@jay-no9qq]

3:16 she says "everyone loves you baby" in foreground 😊

[@ashleidillingham135]

And everything in between.

[@tahoepoet]

Beatriz, remember last year when 👌 was OK?

[@findenison9114]

RIP ROBERT PALMER. THANKS FOR THE MUSIC TO MY SOUL. ❤️

[@Shmoe54]

i just freaking love this song...

[@bg137]

Omg this I ain't what I expected to be

[@FakeCrowP5R]

Same

[@princessliuz916]

XBrayan13X lmao

[@hongbun8906]

Me too, I'm so confuse

[@Eli-th3xi]

Same

[@letshavefun5673]

😐 it's nothing like I thought

[@CurtisGuest1664]

If you're secure in your own skin, It's not that big a deal!

[@RavShokar]

This some deep stuff.

[@CurtisGuest1664]

As far as I'm concerned it's art! I think it's a brilliant concept to objectify the male form as we've been objectifying women since the dawn of life!

[@RavShokar]

Curtis Guest to be honest I didn't get it first. Thanks for explaining!

[@CurtisGuest1664]

Rav Shokar Watch Robert Palmers "Simply irresistible" it will make more sense!

[@blubberlubber97217]

IM is the sexiest librarian on the planet

[@ParallelUniversity]

I worked in a drug store for a few months when this song came out and I probably heard it 200 times and never got sick of it. Such a catchy melody. I hate break up songs, but this song is crafted so perfectly I never forgot about it.

[@ZomIIXC]

Saw this for the first time on VH1 this morning, and the Sarah Palin / Hot Librarian fetish is strong with this one.

[@onlyshipme2860]

the guys hip movement makes me want to dance for some weird reason.

[@OURAN44]

In love with love they look prettier in makeup than me when I spend like an hour getting ready.... wow

[@ivaniscool99]

Same!

[@rashed7339]

onlyshipme they aren't guys no more

[@FireLilly-dw3sx]

LUKANG YING YA 243 because they're men

Lissa Flynn That’s a fantastic comeback! Good job!

"All the broken hearts in the world still beat, let's not make it harder than it has to be." 💕🩷💔 "I'm a little let down, but I'm not dead." 💜💜💜 "I got two hands, one beating heart and I'll be alright." 🩷💕💜 Love the tribute/homage to Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible music video 🩷💜💕

[@marisacastiglione6304]

Is no one going to talk about that adorable fist pump behind Ingrid at 3:16 ?!?!

[@musicnerd2896]

I didn't notice but I'm glad now

[@1dyingwish]

Bro time! These two. Are straight..... but like to play... respect!!!

[@mirichieangelaforio7743]

Mate, I've been noticing the guy on the left for years when I watch this music video. He has the moves. LOL.

[@klstadt]

lol you're right

[@brandonbenavidez6617]

Yes right away! Nothing to do with preferences this song has! Just that we are all beautiful. Men and women alike. We are all the same.

[@BaseDesire]

lol why is this song SO catchy

[@flamingmary4702]

this is fabulous

[@flamingmary4702]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@flamingmary4702]

Sassy Slayer thanks

[@someone7880]

Flaming Mary Just like you ;3

[@flamingmary4702]

XxXFallenTacozXxX thanks

[@solitarelee6200]

That's the most wholesome back and forth I've seen on youtube. Awwww! xD

[@yeehawboon7732]

I haven’t listened to this song in awhile but it’s so good

[@evanxgaming5454]

Now THIS is nostalgic

[@joeldoeffler2821]

so fucking nostalgic like i heard it in my dream...

[@eeli1]

As an androgynous guy who likes to wear makeup I'd like to make a point. Wearing makeup does not equate to feminity. Women are not born with makeup on, no one is. Wearing makeup or appearing "feminine" does not make a man transgender, being transgender does. It's not about what's on the surface, it's about what's in your heart (forgive the cliche).

[@MusicSpaztastic]

That was beautifully said.

[@ForestKorok_]

actors wear it

[@ketakisuri8912]

That is so true.

[@carolleefisher4873]

yes yes and yes

[@whu-dunn17]

***** I am a fucking woman and I don't wear make up -_- that doesn't make me look less woman.

[@paigelawrence4119]

She looks pretty, to everyone that thinks this video makes them uncomfortable, GROW UP, no but seriously? My 7 year old sister loved it

[@paigelawrence4119]

Only some parts are..... weird

[@jessicadoryean8672]

It's pretty much an exact copy of Robert Palmer's Simply Irresistible music video. Which she states in the damn title. So to the people that are complaining STFU already.

[@ShastaOrange]

J. Doryean Yes and no. Robert Palmer wasn't wearing a dress in that video, and the girls didn't have hairy legs. Gender bending, not gender swapping, is what's making people squirm. You can't help how you feel, and in a way, this does make me feel slightly uncomfortable, but I recognize that feeling is irrational and I try to move past it.

[@paigelawrence4119]

ShastaOrange Yeah, I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad.

[@paigelawrence4119]

***** No, but I wish.

[@rmm3854]

Ingrid: this song needs a revival … right about now! 😘

[@savvylever8527]

I have never loved a song so much

[@IHasAToaster]

Life needs more of this. Whatever it is. Life needs a lot more of it.

[@therebelephant2788]

Gayness?

[@Emilystarchild7]

Style, rhythm, acceptance, empowerment, equality, and relationship Independence. Yeah, the world definitely needs more of those things.

[@Taydrum]

Its called mental illness

[@scarlett0340]

Transgenderness?

[@jordanrayne4779]

Like so much more of it. Fuck the haters

[@kylethenerd1]

Wow. This is such a celebration of love, and probably her best song to date. Well played, Ms. Michaelson.

[@ariredeemer8974]

this song has been stuck in my head for years and i’ve never known the name, i just used to call it the cedar point song

[@4-8-4Northern]

Holy shit! Where has time gone!!!!? I was 7 when this came out! I am 17 now! I am just so in shock by time!

[@hikari31415]

The dude to her left is having so much fun and he gives me life
