The Story Behind "This Girl": How a Soulful Classic Became a Global Dance Anthem
Long before it was a dance floor staple, "This Girl" was a laid-back funk and soul record by the Australian trio Cookin' on 3 Burners . Released in 2009 featuring the powerful vocals of Kylie Auldist, the original track was a modest success within the deep funk scene, even appearing in an episode of Degrassi in 2010.
Adopted as a goal celebration song for football clubs like Leicester City and FC Porto, and inspired chants for players like Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum.
