Overall Meaning

The song "Girls" is a collaborative work between Akon, Beenie Man, and Mya. It was produced by the Neptunes and released in 2005. The song essentially discusses how popular females are in the community, what men would do for them and how women also have the power to choose the man they want. Akon's opening lines of the song are less meaningful, saying it has nothing to do with nothing (no real meaning), but regardless there are still men who would not bow down to women because they are so obsessed with them.


The chorus talks about how the person singing the song would do anything for the woman he is talking to, and how he wishes he could be considered her β€œgirl.” (Note: this could be a reference to anything from wishing for a romantic relationship to wishing for friendship). Beenie Man comes in singing in Jamaican Patois, describing himself as the β€œgirls' sugar,” a β€œworld-class lover," and a powerful figure who the girls need. He describes how the girl admirers him for his cool and attractive personality, and Mya sings about a specific girl she wants to be romantically involved with.


Overall, the song "Girls" talks about how women are desirable and powerful, and how men would do anything for them. It also highlights how women have the power to choose the men they want, putting them in a position of power.
