}} "It Girl" is a song by American recording artist Jason Derulo, released as the second single from his second studio album, ''Future History'' on August 9, 2011. The song was written by Derulo, 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 Derulo singing the praises of the perfect girl he found after searching all over. The lyrics reference the title in the opening chorus phrase, "You could be my it girl".〔 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 Derulo's 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 Derulo and his love interest played by actress Tika Sumpter. To promote the song, Derulo performed the song live 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 Derulo's former girlfriend Jordin Sparks. ==Background and development== "It Girl" was written by Jason Derulo, E. Kidd Bogart, Lindy Robbins and Emanuel "Eman" Kiriakou, who also produced the track.〔 The engineering process was handled by Jens Koerkmeier.〔 It was mixed by Serban Ghenea at Mixstar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia.〔 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.〔 On July 29, 2011, the audio of "It Girl" was uploaded to Derulo's official YouTube account. When speaking of the song, Derulo 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." Derulo further elaborated about the concept of the song in another interview with Matt Elias of MTV News:
Derulo explained that he did not believe in the possibility of "It Girl" to be the next single from ''Future History''.〔 However, his peers believed 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.〔 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. 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."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It Girl (Jason Derulo song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
