"This Girl" is a song by Australian DJs and producers Stafford Brothers and Eva Simons featuring T.I. It was released as a single in Australia on 27 June 2014 [1] and globally on 12 August 2014.
The Stafford Brothers first leaked the collaboration via an exclusive private performance alongside Eva Simons in a Sydney warehouse in January 2014. [2] Chris Stafford says "We knew it was shaping up to be a great track when we first heard Eva's vocals,we were thrilled when we heard from management that T.I. was into it and wanted to do a feature. Having such a huge superstar be a part of this is truly amazing and a huge honour." [3]
The song peaked at number 9 on the Australian Dance Chart and number 58 on the overall Australian Singles Chart, [4] [5] and number 7 in Belgium dance bubbling under chart. [6]
Mike Wass of Idolator reviewed the song,saying;"“Give me wings,make me fly,”sings the Dutch dance queen over fluttery synths before arriving at the fast and furious chorus,which basically consists of her repeating:“do it one more time for this girl!”T.I shows up towards the end to rap about “making love in the Benz”but the real star is the manic production. After a seemingly endless string of folk-tinged EDM anthems,it's a relief to hear a balls-to-the-wall club banger." [7]
The video was filmed in Atlanta,In describing the video,Chris Stafford said,"The first night of filming was like a party because it was in a club and everyone was drinking. The second day was much more serious,but it was in a strip club." [8]
The video for "This Girl" was released on the Stafford Brothers' VEVO account on 3 September 2014. [9]
