Info "Not That Kinda Girl" (help·info)

"Not That Kinda Girl" is a popR&B song written by Neely Dinkins, B. Cola Pietro, Balewa Muhammad, and Sylvester Jordan, Jr. for American singer-songwriter JoJo's debut album, JoJo (2004). Released in February 2005 as the album's third and final single, it failed to chart in the United States (except on the ARC Weekly Top 40) and many other countries, though it did manage to reach number eighty-five in Germany. The song went for promo only in the United Kingdom after the single's release was canceled there, due to the fact that JoJo was unable to promote it as she was 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. It premiered on MTV's Total Request Live 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. JoJo is shown sitting in a limousine and being hounded by paparazzi.
