Girls is a single released by Grammy Award winning Rock singer Tina Turner from her 1986 Break Every Rule album. This song was written by David Bowie and Erdal Kizilcay and produced by Terry Britten. Phil Collins, courtesy of Atlantic Records, plays drums on this single.

Bowie himself later recorded two different versions of the song during the Never Let Me Down sessions, one with vocals in English and another with vocals in Japanese. Both versions appeared as B-sides for different formats of the "Time Will Crawl" single in 1987.
