Mika explained the meaning of the song in an interview with a Italian journal/magazine,Tv Sorrisi e Canzoni:«Il testo di “Toy Boy”, dal secondo album. In pochi hanno capito che parla di un ragazzo gay i cui genitori non accettano la sua omosessualità e cercano di cancellarla anche con violenze fisiche e psicologiche. Invece di raccontare la storia dal punto di vista del ragazzo, ho deciso di raccontarla dal punto di vista di un bambolotto. E così quasi tutti pensano che si tratti di una canzone allegra».“ "The text of Toy Boy, from the second album.In just a few have realized that it talks about a gay boy whose parents did not accept his homosexuality and try to erase(/cancel) it with physical and psychological violence.Instead of telling the story from the point of view of the boy, I decided to tell it from the point of view of a doll. And so almost everyone thinks that this is a happy song."

+09alexmel I thought it was about a topic like this, now I know that Mika is really great. He is able to express a sad story like this in an apparently happy e childish song

seriously if you think it could be a happy song there is something seriously wrong with you. It took me the explanation to get what it was about but I was crying from the second verse

This song is so... MIKA! It sounds incredibly happy and cute, untill you pay atention to the lyrics and notice it's actually a mix of mellancholic story. xxx

This might just be my favourite. This is what the world needs. More songs like this. Cheerfully exciting songs. Not pop.

This song, even if the music sounds so....so happy and bubbly and you just wanna skip and dance around in circles when you hear it, once you read the lyrics it's just a sad story.....

I'm not a fan of sad songs, and this one is as sad as it gets for me, but I love this song so much. I've been a fan of Mika since I was 4/5 and was listening to an old CD of this album and I finally understand the meaning of this song.

Hello, sorry for the horrendously late reply but to me this song means dating a guy who you thought loved you but then one day he just gets bored of you like a toy and leaves you alone.

I think it should be "when your oldest son's wondering what to be" Like son IS wondering what to be But other than that, it's wonderfully done!
