"Thunder" is a song by American pop rock band Boys Like Girls. It was released on May 6, 2008, as the third and final single from their debut album, Boys Like Girls (2006). There are two versions of the song: one version where Martin Johnson sings alone and another version where Bryan Donahue sings some lines and backup vocals.
This song was released as an acoustic version first before it appeared on Boys Like Girls, and over two years before the song's official single release. The band first posted the radio remix of the song on their Myspace profile on March 11, 2008. It was the first song Boys Like Girls ever wrote which was written about Martin's high school sweetheart. Despite its poor performance in charts compared to their previous singles, it was certified Gold by RIAA the same week "Hero/Heroine" went Gold.
