what they said

"Discotheque, we viewed it as our response to Peter Gabriel experimenting. We wanted it to be our Sledgehammer. Imagine if Discotheque was a No. 1 pop song? Now that record makes sense. We didn't have the discipline to screw the thing down, and turn it into a magic pop song. We didn't have the discipline to make MoFo into a loud concoction of rock 'n' roll, trance crossover. We learned from that album. We'd become progressive rock! Ahhh! It's on us!" - Bono, 2005

Much of the Boy album's lyrics focus on thoughts and frustrations of adolescence. Some songs, including "I Will Follow", focus on the death of Bono's mother when he was 13.
