Well, in case you haven't been keeping track of all the details, MTV News has compiled a handy-dandy cheat sheet to get you in the know before the video drops.</P><P>From the song's recording to the video's shoot, we have the inside scoop on the making of "Boyfriend" from the people who helped create it.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Exclusive Preview: Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend'" id="vid:765191.id:1684316" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P><b>The Track</b><br> For the lead single off <i>Believe,</i> Bieber hit the studio with Mike Posner and Mason Levy. Posner shared with us that Bieber had some <a href="/news/articles/1684292/justin-bieber-boyfriend-mike-posner-sessions.jhtml">killer instincts in the studio</a>. "Justin's super hands-on with his music," he explained. "He comes up with amazing melodies — that's what I was most impressed by. We'd put on a beat or something, and he goes into a booth, and he freestyles these melodies, and they're crazy."</P><P><b>Swag Without Fondue</b><br> Leading up to the release of the video, Bieber made it clear that it wasn't going to play into the song's lyrics literally. Although he makes mention of <a href="/news/articles/1683042/justin-bieber-boyfriend-buzz-lightyear.jhtml">fondue and Buzz Lightyear</a> in the song, he shared with MTV News that both visuals were left on the cutting room floor. "No, no, I won't be dressed up as Buzz Lightyear," he said. "I think there's some copyright issues. I can't use that."</P><P><b>The Video's Locale</b><br> Bieber took over a <a href="/news/articles/1683642/justin-bieber-boyfriend-music-video-kiss.jhtml">Los Angeles rooftop</a> in late March to shoot the lead video off his <i>Believe</i> album. In photos leaked from the set, Bieber was seen riding in muscle cars and chilling with an exotic-looking brunette, all under the watchful eye of his girlfriend, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/gomez__selena/artist.jhtml">Selena Gomez</a>.</P><P><b>The Video's Concept and Co-Star</b><br> Judging from the <a href="/news/articles/1684318/justin-bieber-boyfriend-video-sneak-peek.jhtml">tease</a>, the video's all about a big rooftop party filled with good vibes. During the celebration, Bieber gets cozy with a girl that happens to look a bit like Gomez. "You know, I guess Justin has a type that he likes, so hey, you know, there you go," the video's director, <a href="/news/articles/1684332/justin-bieber-boyfriend-video-director.jhtml">Director X</a>, tells MTV News about the casting.</P><P>Want more behind-the-scenes scoop from Bieber himself? The singer will sit down with MTV News' Sway Calloway on Thursday to premiere his "Boyfriend" music video during "MTV First: Justin Bieber" live at 7:50 p.m. ET on MTV.
