Background

On April 2, 2013, "Girls" was released for digital download via the iTunes Store, as the album's fourth single. The song features a guest verse from American dirty rap legend Too Short. Additionally, the song was produced by Cudi himself, much like the bulk of Indicud. The song would later be released to Rhythm/Crossover radio on April 9, 2013. "Girls" contains an interpolation of "Pretty Girls", written by The Kids of Widney High (Carl Brown, Shelly Goodhope, Tanesa Tavin, Daniel Brattain, Veronica Mendez, Darrell Mitchell, Albert Cota, Chantel Roquemore and Michael Monagan). The song also contains a sample of "Bitches (Reply)", as performed by Dion "DJ Jimi" Norman.
