Boys Will Be Boys is the fifth studio album by English singer Gary Glitter, released on 10 March 1984 by Arista Records. It features two top 30 hits: "Dance Me Up" and "Another Rock and Roll Christmas". It was the first album released by Glitter since Silver Star just under seven years earlier. Boys Will Be Boys is the only Gary Glitter studio album that has never been released on CD, and was the last Gary Glitter album to be produced by Glitter's long-time music collaborator Mike Leander.
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, critic Dave Thompson described the album as "a magnificent comeback and a powerful reminder that, even in his showbiz dotage, Gary Glitter remained one of Britain's greatest-ever entertainers."
All songs are written by Mike Leander, Eddie (Edward John) Seago and Gary Glitter, except where noted.
