"Next Boyfriend" is a song by American country music singer Lauren Alaina. It is the first official single from her upcoming second studio album and is also included on her 2015 self-titled EP. The song has received positive reviews for its "flirtatious age-appropriate lyrics" and for "showing [Alaina's] growth and maturity as an artist."
Critical reception
According to Jen Swirsky from Nashville Gab, "The song can aptly be described as flirtatiously sexy, while still remaining age appropriate and youth friendly for Lauren's wide array of fans. With a comparatively explosive chorus that demonstrates Lauren's broad vocal range, the quick-witted girl with adorable stage presence and endless humorous quips explains to the man who has caught her attention why he should head her way."[1] One Stop Country states, "This song allows Alaina the chance to re-introduce herself, while also showing her growth and maturity as an artist and songwriter, but she smartly still maintains her youthful sound and age-appropriate lyrics."[2]
