Overall Meaning

The Jets's song "Are you going to be my Girl?" is a catchy hit that falls into the rock and roll genre. The song's narrative revolves around the lead singer's (presumably male) interest in a woman he meets at a party or club. The first verse invites the woman to come with him because of how attractive she looks to him. The chorus repeatedly asks if she will be his girl. The second couplet shows the lead singer's disappointment when he discovers that the woman he is interested in is already with another man. The song then repeats the chorus and closes with the lead singer's request for the woman to be his girl.


However, the song's lyrics have been criticized for being too simplistic and objectifying women. The lead singer's interest in the woman is primarily physical, as evidenced by the repeated use of the phrase "you look so fine," and his seeming willingness to overlook her relationship elsewhere. Additionally, the song's refrain, "Are you gonna be my girl?" could be interpreted as a request for ownership and control, further objectifying the woman and limiting her agency.


Despite the criticism, "Are you going to be my Girl?" remains a popular and widely recognized song. The Jets's retro-inspired sound and energetic performance helped make the song a hit, and it has been included in numerous movies, TV shows, and commercials.
