"Girls" is a song by British girl group Sugababes for their sixth studio album Catfights and Spotlights (2008). It was written by band member Keisha Buchanan along with Anna McDonald and Nicole Jenkinson, while production was helmed by Si Hulbert and Melvin Kuiters. The song was released on 6 October 2008 as the lead single from Catfights and Spotlights. The song is built around an interpolation of "Here Come the Girls" (1970) by American singer Ernie K-Doe. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Allen Toussaint is also credited as a songwriter.[1]
In comparison to their previous lead singles, "Girls" saw more moderate success throughout Europe. It peaked at number three in their native United Kingdom and number five in Scotland, whilst reaching the top twenty in Ireland and Turkey as well as the top fifty in several countries including Slovakia, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.[2] "Girls" is used as the one of two theme songs of Dagens Mand, the Danish version of Taken Out.
