Concerning the latter, he discussed the motivation behind the song "Dance Hall Drug":
The song "On Top of the World" is about Johnson's late mother.

. Martin Johnson and Paul DiGiovanni had a small cameo in Good Charlotte's "Like It's Her Birthday" music video, along with The Maine's John O'Callaghan and Kennedy Brock
On September 1, 2010, the band posted a video on their official YouTube
account announcing that they would be heading back to the studio to "do some preps and record" for album number 3.
On December 17, 2010, Johnson confirmed that they have completed writing the songs to be included in the upcoming record and that the band is currently recording demos-to-be-done in the studio with producer Matt Squire
, whom the band had worked alongside with on their self-titled album, Boys Like Girls
.
In early 2011, rumors started spreading that Boys Like Girls had broken up, with no update from the band, its members or management team. They had no shows scheduled and told fans they were in the studio since September which turned out to be false. Drummer John Keefe was quick to deny these rumors, but along with the rest of the band has issued no statement to say that they are still recording and/or playing together.
As of February 2011, the band's members are working on individual projects. Johnson has been in the studio recording solo material as he prepares to tour in the summer playing his self written songs. He is also currently working with producers John Feldman and Tommy Brown
who has previously worked with Black Eyed Peas. On the other hand, bassist Donahue is continuing with his side project Early Morning Blues, along with guitarist Paul DiGiovanni DiGiovanni has also opened his own clothing range named "Black Carbon Custom" which he runs himself.
In June 2011, Johnson debuted several songs as of written of his "solo material" on Kiss FM
. Some of the songs played acoustically were revealed to be titled "Back On Track", "Guilty" and "Only You & Love". Johnson also stated that the band would be going on an "indefinite hiatus" as of now, providing sufficient time for [Bryan/Paul] to tour in the later parts of the year as they remain in "Early Morning Blues" and himself to finish up his solo record, which is near finishing touches on it. Johnson also confirmed that he would set to perform and tour under his very own name "Martin Johnson". The first single he would release off the upcoming record was confirmed to be titled "Back On Track", which was written by himself with regards to the band's unofficial hiatus and the future.

, Secondhand Serenade
, Relient K
, The Academy Is...
, Kelena, and Dashboard Confessional
. While these tendencies are clearly audible in guitarwork and drumming, punk rock
influences are far less obvious as far as vocal patterns and lyricism are concerned. Given Johnson's characteristic tenor
vocal melodies—which are, due to sporadically placed falsetto
s, at times reminiscent of Tyson Ritter's (of The All-American Rejects
fame)—the band's all-around sound is geared to late '90s alternative
radio rock, along the lines of Vertical Horizon
, Goo Goo Dolls
, and Eve 6
.
" (in reference to the pop punk band's commercial success with 2005's From Under the Cork Tree
), album sales were less convincing. Despite promotional front page features (such as Spin
's "Artist of the Day" or the highly influential Absolutepunk.net
's "Featured Band" and "Absolute Exclusive: Album Leak"), Boys Like Girls scanned a mere 1,472 units within its first week of sales, thus failing to chart the Billboard 200
. However, continuous touring and promoting helped gaining the record a No. 179 entry into the chart in April 2007. It continued to gain popularity as the single, "The Great Escape", climbed the charts and eventually peaked at No. 55 in August 2007. After nearly falling off the Billboard
200, the re-release of the single "Hero/Heroine
" jumped the album back up to No. 61 and was certified Gold shortly after.
