"Mississippi Girl" is a song by the American country music recording artist Faith Hill, taken from her sixth studio album Fireflies (2005). The song was written by John Rich of the country duo Big & Rich, with co-writing credits including fellow MuzikMafia member Adam Shoenfeld. Hill produced the song with long-time collaborators Byron Gallimore and Dann Huff. It was officially released on May 16, 2005, via Warner Bros. Nashville as the lead single from the project and Hill's first single release since "You're Still Here" (2003).
It was positively commended by music critics, although some noted the similarity between the track and singer Jennifer Lopez's hit song "Jenny from the Block" (2002) in regards of the messaging.[2] Nevertheless, it was a massive success. It topped the US Hot Country Songs chart for two consecutive weeks, becoming Hill's ninth and final number one single to date, and her first since "The Way You Love Me" (2000). Its success propelled its parent album to platinum status. The track would receive a nomination at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards in 2006 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance while Rich and Shoenfeld would receive the SESAC Country Song of the Year award.[3]
