"Not That Kinda Girl" was the final single from JoJo's debut album JoJo. The single, released in 2005, failed to chart in the U.S. (except on the ARC Weekly Top 40) and many other countries, though the single did manage to reach number fifty-two in Australia and number eighty-five in Germany. The single's release was canceled in the UK,due to the fact that she was unable to promote it due to filming Aquamarine in Australia.
[edit] Music video
The music video was directed by the team of Eric Williams and Randy Marshall, known as Fat Cats and was shot in Los Angeles. The video premiered on TRL on March 24, 2005. It spent only four days on the countdown and did not climb higher than number eight. The concept follows the topic of the song in playing up the glamorous lifestyle of a celebrity while making a statement against the shallowness of materialism. The video is known for having several cameos including Laurie Ann Gibson from MTV's Making The Band and Tool /A Perfect Circle singer Maynard James Keenan as a police officer. JoJo is shown sitting in a limosine and being hounded by paparazzi, suggesting a jab at over-exposed superstars like Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.
