"Some Girls" is a song by British singer and songwriter Belouis Some, released in 1988 as the third and final single from his second studio album Belouis Some. It was written by Belouis Some and Carlos Alomar, and produced by Gary Langan and Guy Fletcher (associate producer).[2] "Some Girls" reached No. 76 in the UK and remained in the charts for four weeks.[3] A music video, filmed in Milan, was produced to promote the video.[4]

Critical reception

Upon release, Colin Irwin of Number One gave the song two out of five stars, and stated: "Poor ol' Belouis never did quite crack it, did he? Somehow he always seemed to be trying just that little bit too hard. This time around? Not with this slightly irritating whiney effort, methinks."[5] Music & Media wrote: "Since the excellent "Imagination" Belouis has been struggling to come up with something of the same calibre. This time he comes closer than previously with a bittersweet number that could do much to restore his flagging reputation."[6] In a review of Belouis Some, Scott Benarde of The Palm Beach Post described the song as a "somber ballad".[7]
