"Beautiful Girls" is the debut single by the American reggae-influenced musician Sean Kingston from his 2007 eponymous debut album; it was first released in 2007, when Kingston was 17 and is considered his "signature song". The song is about a boy who feels "suicidal" (radio edits have changed this to "in denial") over the prospect of dating a "beautiful girl" only to have her break up with him.
The song samples the 1961 song "Stand by Me" by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King.[2]
Rapper Lil Mama and actors Kenny Vibert and Lil' JJ are featured in the music video directed by Marcus Raboy, which hit 1 billion YouTube views on September 8, 2022.[3]
