Song |
"It Girl" is a song by American recording artist Jason Derülo, released as the second single from his second studio album, Future History on August 9, 2011. The song was written by Derülo, E. Kidd Bogart, Lindy Robbins and Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou, who also handled the song's production. Musically, "It Girl" is a mid-tempo pop and R&B love song, that features a whistling intro and an acoustic guitar melody. Lyrically, it revolves around Derülo singing the praises of the perfect girl he found after searching all over.
The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its catchy production and radio-friendly lyrics. They also added that it has the potential to overshadow the commercial success of Derülo debut single, "Whatcha Say" (2009). "It Girl" attained worldwide success, reaching the top-ten on the singles charts in Australia, Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and the top-twenty in Hungary, Japan, the Netherlands and Norway. The song peaked at number 17 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number six on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart, and at number 10 on the US Pop Songs chart.
The accompanying music video of "It Girl" was directed by Colin Tilley and filmed at a mansion in Malibu, California. It portrays a fictional relationship between Derülo and his love interest played by actress Tika Sumpter. Derülo has promoted "It Girl" through live performances on televised shows, including America's Got Talent, The Wendy Williams Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The X Factor (Australia). The official remix of the song premiered online in February 2012, and features Derülo's girlfriend Jordin Sparks.
Background and development
"It Girl" was written by Jason Derülo, E. Kidd Bogart, Lindy Robbins and Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou, who also produced the track.[1] The engineering process was handled by Jens Koerkmeier.[1] It was mixed by Serban Ghenea at Mixstar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia.[1] The song's keyboards, whistle, guitars, bass, percussion and drum programming were provided by Eman, with additional keyboards and drum programming by Koerkmeier and Andrew Goldstein.[1] On July 29, 2011, "It Girl" was uploaded to Derülo's official YouTube account.[2] When speaking of the song, Derülo told The Daily Telegraph, "I wanted to put myself in a position as if I'd found my It Girl, to make myself feel like if I found that one true love. I've basically described what it would be like if I found her."[3] Derülo further elaborated about the concept of the song in another interview with Matt Elias of MTV News:
An 'It Girl' to me is someone who is selfless, someone who's always thinking about others before she thinks about herself. You know, my mom is a very charitable woman, so I'd want someone who is in line with that kind of thought process. I also like a girl who's polite. I feel like that's a lost art, and just saying 'please' and 'thank you' goes a very long way with me. That's just so lost these days. So, ladies, it's OK to say 'thank you.'[4]
Derülo explained that he did not believe in the possibility of "It Girl" to be the next single from Future History.[5] However, his peers were saying that it was very distinct from the lead single, "Don't Wanna Go Home" and that response motivated him to pick it as the second single.[5] He believed that showing the difference in the new album was important in picking the single. He did not want to put another dance song so that his fans do not assume that the entire album consisted of uptempo songs.[5] He concluded that "growing up has definitely taken place. My music has always been a representation of who I am and I guess I speak differently, my demeanour is different."[5]
Composition
"It Girl" is a mid-tempo pop and R&B love song,[9] built on a finger-clicking beat.[6] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing, the song is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 95 beats per minute. It is composed in the key of E major with Derülo's vocal range spanning from the note of E4 to the note of B5.[10] According to Rap-Up, the song lyrically finds Derülo as the male protagonist singing praises of "a lovely lady", comparing her to his "greatest hit".[11] "It Girl" opens with a whistling intro and an acoustic guitar melody.[12][13] In the first verse, he chants about how he searched all over and finally found the girl of his dreams.[13] He also affirms that the girl means much more than a Grammy Award to him.[7] Its hook, which forms part of the chorus, contains the lyrics: "You could be my it girl / Baby, you're the shit girl / Lovin; you could be a crime / Crazy how we fit, girl / This is it, girl / Gimme 25 to life / I just wanna rock all night long and put you in the middle of my spotlight / You could be my it girl / You're my biggest hit, girl / Let me play it loud."[13] Scott Shelter from Pop Crush noted that the song uses the "oh-oh-oh-oh" vocal chants after the chorus.[13]
Release
"It Girl" was added to the B-playlist of urban radio station BBC Radio 1Xtra in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2011.[14] The song was released as a digital download on iTunes Stores worldwide from August 9, 2011.[15] "It Girl" impacted contemporary hit radio in the United States on August 16, 2011,[16] and mainstream radio in the UK on August 24, 2011.[17] A digital extended play with four remixes of the song, was released in Denmark,[18] Ireland,[19] Switzerland[20] and the United Kingdom on September 16, 2011.[21] "It Girl" was made available as a CD single in Germany on November 25, 2011.[22] On February 29, 2012, Derülo released the official remix of "It Girl", which features his girlfriend Jordin Sparks.[23] The remix has a slower tempo than the original and features a new verse by Sparks.[23] Cristin Maher of PopCrush noted that both singers "harmonize together on the chorus, with their voices matching up beautifully".[23] The remix was accompanied by a video that displays behind-the-scenes footage of Derülo and Sparks spending time together.[23]
Critical reception
"It Girl" garnered mixed reviews from music critics. Describing it as "a catchy pop song with major hit potential", Scott Shetler of Pop Crush awarded "It Girl" four-and-a-half out of five stars, writing that "even though Derülo's debut produced hits like 'Whatcha Say' and 'In My Head', 'It Girl' could be his best single to date."[13] Shetler concluded that "every element of the song works, from the sweet whistling intro to the acoustic guitar melody to the 'oh-oh-oh-oh' vocal chants after the chorus."[13] Similarly, Jenna Hally Rubenstein of MTV, who viewed "It Girl" as Derülo's "valiant attempt to trump his monstrous [...] hit 'Whatcha Say', gave the song a positive review, writing that it is catchy and it is "perfectly crafted for radio success".[9] Jess Holton of The Music Network noted that the song "delivers with catchy whistling and tender lyrics" and that it "will appeal to the lady fans of Derülo who like to see the romantic side of the crooner".[24] Robbie Daw of Idolator wrote that the song "comes dangerously close to being just another bland, cookie cutter R&B-pop experience, but lucky for him, that whistle gimmick in the chorus makes it a somewhat enjoyable three minutes."[25]
Kyle Anderson of Entertainment Weekly awarded the song a B- rating and wrote that "perhaps [Derülo] should have pitched woo with something hotter than a flat midtempo beat, some acoustic flourishes, and a whistle garnish."[26] Shahryar Rizvi of Dallas Observer gave the song a mixed review, criticizing its lyrics: "[...] if you read between the lines in 'It Girl', it becomes clear that Derülo has some really weird taste in women."[8] Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the song a negative review, "with the charts now welcoming the return of the organic singer-songwriter", Derülo may not have equipped enough himself with "his own gut-wrenching ballad."[6]

Music video
Background and development
The accompanying music video for "It Girl" was directed by Colin Tilley and shot at a mansion in Malibu, sitting on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.[48][49][4] On July 19, 2011, several stills from the video were released online,[50] and showed Derülo at the oceanside mansion dressed in a white suit.[50] Gossip Girl actress, Tika Sumpter, also appeared in the photos, and plays Derülo's "It Girl" in the video.[50][11] Derülo told MTV News that he wanted the video to look like an open book. He said,
I wanted it to be almost like a photo album, so every single scene is kind of like a picture that you're kind of looking into our relationship. So it is a 1920s vibe, it's black and white, very high fashion—you know, you'll see me very dapper in 1920s, Frank Sinatra-ish. So you'll see the cars from that era, you'll definitely feel the vibe of the house having that 1920s vibe as well. So it's very different and very intimate, and it's not a lot of dancing—it's more personal.[4]
A behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot showed Derülo wearing different outfits, including a dark pinstripe suit with a pair of sunglasses, a rose-colored button-down shirt and white pants.[49] The footage also showed Derülo and Sumpter shooting a scene in a silver corvette, as well as a kissing scene between the two.[49] A 37-second preview of the video was released on August 12, 2011.[51] The completed video premiered online on August 15.[25]
Synopsis and reception
The beginning of the video is shot in black-and-white, and shows Derülo sitting on the hood of a corvette outside a Malibu mansion dressed in 1920s attire. In another scene, Derülo is seen dancing at an area of the mansion which is surrounded by trees. The video then shows intercut scenes in full color of Derülo at the beach, on the mansion's balcony, and in the bedroom with his love interest (played by Tika Sumpter). More scenes in full color, show Derülo on the balcony interacting with her, and also shows him singing to her in the bedroom using a microphone. During another scene, Derülo is seen dressed in all white. The video ends with a kissing scene between the two which then fades away.
Melinda Newman of HitFix praised the concept of the video, writing: "[...] when [Derülo is not] busy showing off his dance moves, he is living the high life with his lady in their palatial estate. He sings to her, she wraps her legs around him, they pose in some awesome topiary gardens. It is not the most thrilling of videos, and he may want to think twice about moonwalking in a video-- someone did it before him and better-- but it is a nice change of pace from some of his more hectic, gruffer clips."[52] Cameron Matthews of AOL Music commented that the video gives "a kaleidoscopic view" between Derulo's beachfront paradise, an assortment of "edgy suits" and "a little bit of pillow talk with his new 'It Girl'."[7] According to Jenna Hally Rubenstein of MTV, "the romance factor in Jason's full-length 'It Girl' video is very, very high."[53]
Live performances
On August 4, 2011, Derülo performed a medley of "It Girl" and "Don't Wanna Go Home" on America's Got Talent.[54] Robbie Daw of Idolator compared his performance to Michael Jackson, writing "we're used to the 21-year-old [copying] MJ's legendary moves, especially on AGT. But why not stage some original shuffling of your own at some point, Jason?".[55] He later sang the song on The Wendy Williams Show on September 30, 2011.[56] During an Australian promotional tour for Future History, Derülo performed "It Girl" at the Westfield shopping mall in Parramatta, New South Wales, as part of a set list which included "In My Head" and "Don't Wanna Go Home".[57] On October 18, 2011, he performed "It Girl" on The X Factor (Australia).[58] Derülo later performed the song on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on October 25, 2011.[59]
On November 6, 2011, Derülo performed "It Girl" at the Belfast City Hall in Northern Ireland, to coincide with the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards.[60][61] The song was part of a set list which also included "Whatcha Say",[62] "In My Head",[61] "Don't Wanna Go Home"[63] and "Breathing".[64] Holly Thomas of the Daily Mail praised his set, writing that "Jason Derülo gave a steamy performance".[65] On December 3, 2011, he performed "It Girl" at radio station KDWB-FM's annual Jingle Ball, which took place at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[66] The song was part of a set list which included "Whatcha Say", "In My Head", "Ridin' Solo", "Don't Wanna Go Home" and "Fight for You".[66] According to Jon Bream of Star Tribune Derülo "turned it out with sweet vocals and smooth dancing".[67]
