When 僕 (boku) is used in song lyrics, the connotation of it becomes more gender neutral. It's mainly used as the poetic first-person perspective in both poems and songs. That, and in most cases that it's sung by female singers, the songwriter may very well be male themselves.

Outside of that, yes, it's generally used by young males in run-of-the-mill conversations/speech. But in some lesser instances, girls may sometimes use it to refer to themselves when talking to other people as well...
