"What Them Girls Like" is the first single from American rapper Ludacris' sixth studio album Theater of the Mind . [1] The single features American singers Chris Brown and Sean Garrett,who produced the song alongside Rodney Jerkins.
AllMusic editor David Jeffries called this song "completely unsurprising,with a rock-solid hook." [2] Ken Copabianco described the song:"His sex talk is good-natured and slyly insightful about love". [3] XXL wrote a mixed review:"Elsewhere,he’s just straight reaching—“What Them Girls Like,”for instance,where,despite taking a cue from 2000’s Mel Gibson chick flick What Women Want ,there’s no real solid connection established between the film and the actual song."
