"Bossy" is a song by American singer Lindsay Lohan. The song was written and produced by Shaffer Smith, known by his stage name Ne-Yo, while additional writing and production was done by Stargate members Mikkel Storleer Eriksen and Tor Erik Hermansen. After leaking online in the beginning of May 2008, Universal Motown officially released the song to media outlets, while its digital single was released in the United States and Canada on May 27, 2008. Musically, "Bossy" is an electropop and dance-pop song. Lyrically, it is about a woman being strong enough to get what she wants when she wants it.
Critically, "Bossy" attained generally mixed reception upon release, many music critics generally praised the attitude of the song, but considered the song less catchy than Lohan's previous efforts. Commercially, "Bossy" peaked at number 77 on the Canadian Hot 100 and became Lohan's first song to reach number one on the United States' Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.
