The pop group Boys World, known for their hit “Girlfriend,” has announced their disbandment. The group, consisting of Olivia Ruby, Queenie Mae Villaluz, Lilian Kay, Makhyli Simpson, and Elana Caceres, cited “moments of change and transition” in the music industry and other uncontrollable factors as reasons for their decision.
In a heartfelt letter shared online, the group wrote, “After five unforgettable years of music, friendship, and memories, we are sadly announcing the disbandment of Boys World. Each member of Boys World has grown not just as artists but as sisters, learning from each other and becoming stronger together. We are eternally grateful for these years together.”
Acknowledging the challenges they faced, they continued, “We have accepted that there are some things that are out of our control. Change can be scary and uncomfortable, but it can be incredibly exciting. It can open doors to opportunities and creative possibilities we’ve never imagined.”
The group thanked their fans, whom they referred to as “the heart of Boys World,” and encouraged them to support the individual members as they embark on new adventures. They concluded, “Though this may be goodbye for now, our music will always live on and so will our friendship. Girlfriends forever.”
In addition to their written message, the group posted an emotional video for their fans. Queenie Mae Villaluz reflected on their journey, saying, “We went through so much in this group. I can’t even imagine everything we went through without these girls. Change is very scary and uncomfortable… This has been our whole world for the last five years.”
Lilian Kay added, “We’ve created so many beautiful memories, and we are so grateful for everything we’ve accomplished together. Most of all, we’re grateful that it’s been with each other. And after everything, we still have each other, and that’s the most important part.”
Makhyli Simpson shared her gratitude, stating, “So many of our dreams have come true, and we’re so blessed and so lucky to have traveled around the country and perform our music. And obviously the best part of it all was just being able to meet you guys, the STARS. We love you.”
The announcement marks the end of an era for the TikTok sensations, who have garnered a dedicated fan base over their five years together. Fans are encouraged to continue supporting Olivia, Queenie, Lilian, Makhyli, and Elana as they pursue their individual paths in the music industry.
