City Girl (song)
"City Girl" is a song by the Irish alternative rock musician Kevin Shields. It is the second track from the soundtrack to the 2003 film ''Lost in Translation'' and was released as a standalone single in June 2003. Recorded during summer 2002 with ''Lost in Translation''s music co-ordinator Brian Reitzell, "City Girl" was among the first original material released by Shields since My Bloody Valentine's second studio album, ''Loveless'' (1991)—on which he was the main composer, musician and producer.
Produced by Shields, "City Girl" has been described as a mid-tempo garage-influenced alternative rock song and since its original release, critics have drawn comparisons between it and songs from ''Loveless''. An accompanying music video for "City Girl" was directed by Sofia Coppola, the director of ''Lost in Translation''. "City Girl" was well received upon its release, and its inclusion on the ''Lost in Translation'' soundtrack, and earned Shields nominations for a number of awards; these include a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) award for Best Film Music, an Irish Film and Television Academy (IFTA) award for Best Music in a Film and an Online Film Critics Society award for Best Original Score.
==Origin and recording==
"City Girl" is one of four songs Kevin Shields composed for Sofia Coppola's 2003 film, ''Lost in Translation''. Shields became involved with the film's original score after being contacted by the film's music co-ordinator Brian Reitzell in Tokyo, Japan. Reitzell and Shields began impromptu jam sessions in London, United Kingdom during summer 2002, where Shields composed "City Girl". The duo "adopted a late-night recording schedule" that consisted of them recording between midnight "and seven in the morning". According to Shields, "it was () productive time. It's basically as though the world's disappeared."〔
Describing the song's origins in an interview with National Public Radio (NPR), Shields said that the writing and recording of "City Girl" was "very simple, in the sense that it was just me teaching Brian the chord structure and Brian just jamming along to it."〔 N.B.

He later wrote lyrics and recorded vocals for the song but emphasised that there was no need for "elaborations () overdubs."〔 Shields described this method of recording as a "slapdash approach", noting that there was no "point in labouring over something … because you don't know what's going to work".
