Content edit
Rodgers originally included "Some Girls" in 2018 on a self-titled independent EP prior to signing with Columbia Records Nashville and River House Entertainment. Hardy wrote the song with Jake Mitchell and C. J. Solar. The three writers had originally conceived the song as a demo before any of them had any success as songwriters. When no other artist recorded the song, Rodgers chose to record it himself.[6]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote that the song is a "made-for-mainstream single that packs the words in heavy early on, but then relies on the repeated chorus to get to the end."[7]
