"Girls" is a song by Australian rapper and singer the Kid Laroi from the deluxe edition of his debut studio album The First Time (2024). It was released as a single on 28 June 2024 through Columbia Records. It was issued with the viral "Nights Like This" from the album The First Time as a B-side. The Kid Laroi wrote the song with Xplicit, Tenroc, Jon Bellion, Pete Nappi and Rogét Chahayed, with the latter four also producing it. The track was issued alongside its music video.
Conor Lochrie of Rolling Stone called the Kid Laroi "chillness personified on his new release, recalling the R&B-meets-pop style of Justin Timberlake and Pharrell in the early 2000s".[1]
The music video was released alongside the song on 28 June 2024, and was directed by Bradley Calder. It includes appearances from social media influencers Alix Earle, Livvy Dunne, Valkyrae and Lily Chee, among others.[2]
