"Where Them Girls At" (originally titled "Where Dem Girls At?") is a song by French DJ and record producer David Guetta, featuring vocals from American rapper Flo Rida and Trinidadian-born American rapper Nicki Minaj. The track was released on 2 May 2011, via Virgin Records, serving as the lead single from Guetta's fifth studio album, ''Nothing but the Beat''. The track was written by Mike Caren, Jared Cotter, Rida, Guetta, Minaj, Juan and Oscar Silinas, Giorgio Tuinfort and Sandy Vee. Initially, "Where Them Girls At" was recorded in 2010 and featured just Rida, however after getting into touch with Minaj about a collaboration, Guetta played Minaj the record and she decided to record vocals for it. Computer hackers obtained an a cappella version of the song, and added their own production before leaking the song online. Guetta and his label subsequently mastered a proper version of the song, released it earlier than planned and called an employee of The Pentagon to investigate the matter. An accompanying music video for the song was filmed in Los Angeles in May 2011 and released June 28, 2011. ==Production and release history== Guetta first worked with Flo Rida in 2010, when the duo collaborated for Rida's album ''Only One Flo (Part 1)'' and the ''Step Up 3D'' soundtrack. The duo released "Club Can't Handle Me" in 2010 under the condition that Rida would collaborate on a song for Guetta's fifth album ''Nothing but the Beat''.〔 Guetta would later approach Nicki Minaj for a collaboration, and although Minaj wanted to appear solo on one of Guetta's records, agreed to appear on "Where Them Girls At" after hearing it for the first time.〔 "Where Them Girls At" was written by Michael Caren, Jared Cotter, Flo Rida, David Guetta, Nicki Minaj, Juan and Oscar Silinas, Giorgio Tuinfort and Sandy Vee. An early version of the song featuring a cappella vocals was obtained by computer hackers, through accessing Guetta's recording studio's Wi-Fi connection. The hackers subsequently added their own production to the track and falsely posted it online as a Guetta song. As a result of their action, Guetta and his label released the single earlier than planned, with no promotion. Additionally, they hired an investigator from The Pentagon to find the perpetrators.〔 In an interview with MTV News in March 2011, Guetta revealed he was debating between two tracks to release as the first single from his upcoming fifth studio album: a song with English singer-songwriter Taio Cruz and American rapper Ludacris entitled "Little Bad Girl" or the track with Rida and Minaj, then known as "Where Dem Girls At?" A music video for the song, set to feature "a positive message", was filmed in Los Angeles in May 2011.〔 "Where Them Girls At" hit U.S. mainstream and rhythmic radio on May 17, 2011. The main synth was based on Guetta's 2009 hit song Sexy Bitch.〔〔 The song uses open fifths instead of a chord sequence, with a sequence of C-Eb-Bb-Ab. The song is set in modern time with a moderately fast tempo of 130 beats per minute. 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「Where Them Girls At」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
