"My Girls" is a song by Animal Collective, released as the first single from their critically acclaimed 2009 album Merriweather Post Pavilion. It was released on March 23, 2009 by Domino Records as a promo CD only.
During the tours of 2007 and 2008, the song was known as "House".[citation needed] Panda Bear explained to Clash that lyrically the song is about his "desire on a basic level to own my own place and kind of provide a safe house for my family and the people I care about."[2][better source needed] The song resembles a seminal piece of early house music, "Your Love" (1984), by Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principle.[3] The song's intro contains an audio sample from the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft, which explored Saturn's atmosphere and rings and gathered information about its moons; as part of its mission, the probe was destroyed in September 2017.[4]
