How Do You Talk to Boys

"How Do You Talk to Boys" is a song by New Zealand singer and songwriter Sharon O'Neill. The song was released in August 1980 as the final single from the international edition of her second studio album Sharon [O'Neill (album)|Sharon O'Neill] titled Words.
In a September 2001 interview with Murray Cammick, O'Neill said it was record producer John McCready that suggested she record the song, although she wasn't keen as it wasn't self-penned. O'Neill said "He sent me the cassette of the demo and said this will be your first Aussie No.1. and I went, ‘Am I going to be too precious about my own songs and really stupid here or am I going to give it a go?’ It worked but wasn't a hit. Maybe it made the Top 30. But it also empowered me a little with my own material and I stuck to that and got a lot more confidence.”
