Boy for You is the first solo album recorded by Astrid Williamson and her Goya Dress colleagues Terry de Castro & Simon Pearson on bass & drums but following record company pressure, Goya Dress broke up and the album released under the name 'Astrid' in 1998.[2]

The album was produced by Malcolm Burn, who has previously worked with Daniel Lanois, The Neville Brothers, Iggy Pop, Peter Gabriel, Patti Smith, Midnight Oil, and Shaun Colvin. Originally released on Nude Records, the album was reissued on One Little Indian/Incantation Records in 2006.

The song "If I Loved You" was featured on the soundtrack to Gregory's Two Girls,[3] the 1999 sequel to Bill Forsyth's cult 1981 classic Gregory's Girl. The track was also recorded by Abra Moore, retitled 'Someone Else's Mess' and featured on the 'Serving Sara' film soundtrack.
