Songfacts®:

  • Lee Brice got inspired to write this song after a reflective moment with his wife and three children on Father's Day of 2019. Brice decided to give his pals Ashley Gorley, Dallas Davidson and Ben Johnson a call at two o'clock in the morning, asking if they wanted to come over the next day and flesh out a song idea.

    They met up for their emergency songwriting session at 10 p.m., and within five hours the four had completed the track. The next morning, Brice was in the studio laying the tune down.
  • The song pays tribute to the kind of strong, confident women who play hard to get. "I just love that the title could easily come across as a negative connotation at first," said Brice. "But, it's so very much about that girl that all of us - deep down, at the end of the day, at the end of our lives - really hope to have loving us."
  • The Nashville chapter of the Association of Independent Music Publishers named "One Of Them Girls" their song of the year at an event held at Nashville's The Listening Room Café in Nashville on April 27, 2021.
