Stella Lefty‘s song “Boston” is shooting up the charts, holding steady at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre chart as of right now.
With its catchy lyrics and melody, it has listeners dreaming of taking a train to Boston with a person who they are into, who is always nice to them.
Although Lefty is a co-writer on the song and it is about her boyfriend, fellow country artist Vincent Mason, there are some things in the song that bend the truth just a bit.
Who Is Stella Lefty’s “Boston” About?
Lefty was appearing on Taste of Country Nights when I asked her who the song is about.
Once she confirmed it was about Mason, I had more questions, as Mason is from a suburb of Atlanta.

“No, he’s not from Boston,” Lefty said.
“This is the thing. Boston … I was sitting at a Boston piano when I wrote this song, but I didn’t know that the piano said Boston until like a month later, so it was like a weird thing, like, ‘I don’t know where this song came from.'”
She continued, “I was going to Boston like two weeks after that, because I was touring with Cam Whitcomb and one of the first stops was in Boston, and so I think it was just top-of-mind for me… but he’s not from Boston, but it’s about him. Not from Boston, but about him,” she proclaimed with a smile.
So next time you hear the earworm of a song by Lefty called “Boston,” know that it is a true story about her fast-settling relationship with her boyfriend — it’s just a little stretch of the imagination to place him in Boston, since he is from Atlanta.
