"Hey Girl" is a song written by Rhett Akins, Chris DeStefano and Ashley Gorley and recorded by American country music artist Billy Currington. It was released in March 2013 as the first single from his fifth studio album We Are Tonight. The song became a number one hit on the Country Airplay chart, his seventh one on that chart, and peaked at number 5 and 39 on the Hot Country Songs and Billboard Hot 100 charts respectively.

Content

The song has the male narrator making advances on a female, saying that "the only line [he] can think to say is 'Hey, girl.'" It is in a moderate tempo, in cut time. It uses the E-flat dorian scale (i.e., an E-flat minor scale with the sixth tone raised by a semitone), with a main chord pattern of E♭m-G♭-D♭-A♭.

Reception

Critical reception

Billy Dukes of Taste of Country gave the song three and a half stars out of five, writing that "layers of electric guitar and a lengthy (by country radio standards) solo before the bridge add unnecessary distractions, but ultimately Currington’s satisfying delivery brings back a delectable groove." Matt Bjorke of Roughstock gave the song three and a half stars out of five, saying that "while completely reminding me of those great hook-filled mid/late 1980s adult pop songs melodically, 'Hey Girl' still features a strong vocal and fiddle and steel guitars that are audible more than one might expect." Ben Foster of Country Universe gave the song a C grade, writing that it "has some infectious guitar work going for it, but it’s not enough to elevate the song beyond what it is – regular dime-a-dozen radio filler with a total lack of a lyrical hook."

Believe is the third studio album by Canadian singer Justin Bieber, released on June 15, 2012, by Island Records. Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of his two-piece debut effort My World (2009) and My World 2.0 (2010), Bieber opted to create a follow-up record that featured more prominent elements of dance-pop and contemporary R&B. As executive producers, mentor Usher and manager Scooter Braun enlisted collaborators including Darkchild, Hit-Boy, Diplo and Max Martin with the intention of creating a mature-sounding project.

Upon its release, Believe received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who appreciated its progression from Bieber's earlier works. It debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 374,000 copies, and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales exceeding one million units. Internationally, the record enjoyed similar success. It debuted atop the Canadian Albums Chart, where it eventually attained double-platinum recognition. The album additionally debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, and was later certified gold there. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), Believe was the sixth global best-selling album of 2012 with sales of three million copies.

"Hey Girl" was the fourth song release by popular British R&B group Small Faces. The song reached number ten on the UK Singles Charts in 1966.

Song profile

"Hey Girl" was released on 6 May 1966 with the B-side "Almost Grown". The song was written by Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane and was a compromise between the band and Don Arden as Arden wanted a very commercial sounding song. A week later the groups' debut album on Decca Small Faces hit the UK charts reaching number 3.

After the success of "Hey Girl" an employee of Robert Stigwood's management company contacted the band to see where they stood , when Don Arden found out, he, along with four "heavies" visited Stigwood's London offices and Arden hung Stigwood by his legs from a balcony window and threatened violence if he interfered with his bands ever again; the story would become common knowledge around the music industry, cementing Arden's tough man reputation.
