This is such a grower and I never even disliked it to begin with. That last chorus on full blast sounds heavenly in the car.

Officially debuts at #37 on Mediabase. I would expect Maren Morris to debut at #28 on Billboard with this song. Sales remain amazing as "Girl" is still in the Top 20 all genre on iTunes still.

I have like what little music Maren Morris has produced so far in her short career. "Girl" is frankly in my opinion not good. I hope this isnt her "new sound" cause its boring

This song is great and gets better with every listen. It'll be another top ten, at least, for Maren.

Lmao at me getting called a Carrie hater in here Anyway, I'm still loving this, despite it not being what I wanted from her. Super excited to see the video for this one and I'm very glad it's had a strong start at radio! I hope it doesn't crash too hard this week (or at least can recover smoothly after it does).

I liked this song on its first listen, but damn have I grown to love it more. After listening to her talk about the meaning behind the song on Bobby Bones, it's clear why she's so excited about the single release. Also cool to see this debut in the top 30 -- I hope she can stay in the top 40 this coming week.

You get what you give. 😂 What part of your comment was agreeing with a stated opinion comparing a song by one of your current favorite artists to one of your least favorite singles from your all-time favorite artist? Because that's what I gave. I've seen Carrie live 11 times, met her once (best day of my life), and have been a vocal supporter of her on here since I joined (and in real life since her Idol audition aired). I've never once insulted Carrie. God forbid I, as a fan, have any sort of critical opinion of one of her songs. Now, I get where you're coming from because there are some people here who just seem to put down Carrie every chance they get, but girl, I am on your side, don't come for me! Sorry that I like "Girl" more than "Cry Pretty", but that's the way it is for me. --------------------------------------------------- Anyway... stellar debut for this on Billboard. The fact she even got a radio deal with her 2nd era is a good sign for how radio likes her. I would love for the radio gurus to keep an eye on how much steam this loses this week and let me know their thoughts on if that is bad or not because I don't have time this week to look at daily radio updates, but I hope this doesn't fall *too* hard. raylatch98 keep ya boi informed

As a long-time lurker, I do know you’re strongly Team Carrie and it was not a genuine slam, although I responded more emotionally than logically and critically. We’re on the same page. My regrets again! Now back to “Girl.”

I am LOVING this more and more with each listen, and I ADORED it to begin with! The production is absolutely euphoric and the melody is pure heaven to the ears! Every note of this is perfection!!!!!! I'm absolutely obsessed. So excited for the music video!

This is definitely a grower. I still don't love it but it's a pleasant listen.
I'm definitely impressed by how "Girl" has been gaining. Reminds me of how "Babe" gained in its first week (coincidentally, "Babe" debuted just 1 spot higher than this at #27). Let's see if radio keeps its enthusiasm after this big debut week.
Edit: Video

I looked at the kworb site and it was#32 but still isn’t showing on the hdd building chart. Where should it end up this week?
It’s definitely grown on me too, I think it’s a little long or the end hasn’t grown on me enough yet.

The music video is everything I expected it to be, and quite well done. "Girl" has become quite addicting and I really can't get enough of this song right now. This was probably far from the safest or most radio-friendly song on the album, but I give her kudos for releasing this because from a statement/message standpoint, this is a strong lead single effort. The sales have been holding up incredibly well and I think the attention she's getting or will continue to get from "Girl" is great even if it doesn't turn into her biggest radio hit. Can't wait for the full record.

I’m still not crazy about the song (which is disapointing to me since I love Hero so much), but I absolutely LOVED the music video. I think is represents the song’s overall message much better and more effectively than the song itself (if that makes any sense lol).

If I wouldn’t have known better I’d have almost thought this was Rihanna singing a country song. It sounds like she’s kind of altering her vocals in this to sound pop. (Again; I enjoy it though)

Can't wait till she stops pretending she gives a **** about country and goes full pop. She's already there in every way but the label.

There’s now another pop station playing this in Canton, Ohio, which is about an hour and a half from Cleveland! Hopefully this can cross over.

Well, this is underwhelming. It’s well produced though, I’ll give it that. Doesnt even come close to My Church, and I was hoping she’d match or top that magic

The video for this takes the song to a whole new level. AMAZING. Brought tears to my eyes actually. Kudos Maren...

The more I listen to “Girl,” the less I understand the intent behind this being a lead single for a sophomore effort. What is Maren trying to convey to listeners about her musical identity or trajectory of her career, i.e. pop or country? The decision to part ways with busbee following the success of Hero and “My Church” making such an impact commercially and critically is a tad confusing. I don’t necessarily think an artist as inspired or risk-taking as Maren would think that sticking with the same producer would lead her music to stagnate.
I’m not sure where this era will take us sonically or if it’ll keep Maren in the format, and if not that would be a disappointment as she does radiate talent and has the ability to shine at country radio. One has to consider whether she wants to be a genuinely country-rooted artist or use the genre as a launching pad in the manner Taylor Swift did.
