Girls, Girls, Girls was the second single from rapper Jay-Z's album The Blueprint. It is a playful description of the artist's promiscuous lifestyle. The song contains a sample of "There's Nothing In This World That Can Stop Me From Loving You" by Tom Brock. The chorus features a lyrical interpolation of "High Power Rap" by Disco Dave & The Force Of The Five MCs (Crash Crew). Carmen Electra makes a cameo appearance in the song's video.
