"Where My Girls At?" is a song by American R&B/pop group 702, released by Motown as the first single from their self-titled second album, 702, on April 5, 1999 in the United States,[1][2] followed by a United Kingdom release on July 26, 1999.[3]

Often considered the group's signature song, "Where My Girls At?" was an international hit, peaking within the top 30 on the charts in many countries. The song spent thirty weeks in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the group their second top 10 US song; it was the No. 11 song of the year on the Billboard 1999 year-end chart. "Where My Girls At?" earned a Lady of Soul Award nomination for "Best R&B/Soul Single – Group, Band or Duo" in 1999.

The song was written as a female anthem. Elliott, who co-wrote the song, noted that "Where My Girls At?" was a song that she wanted female listeners to hear and relate too.[4]
