Kungs took "This Girl" from somebody else's catalog. It began as a 2009 single by the Australian funk trio Cookin' on 3 Burners, sung by Kylie Auldist, and the French DJ and producer's remix came out as a download on 19 February 2016 through House of Barclay, the lead single from his debut album, Layers. The writing credit lists Lance Ferguson, Ivan Khatchoyan and Jake Mason.
The remix went to number one in France and Germany, among other places, reached the top 10 in 18 countries from Canada to the UK, and picked up a diamond award from France's SNEP. Billboard put it at 48 on its list of the 100 best pop songs of 2016. The video was filmed on the Greek island of Milos, and that March Kungs performed it with singer Mel Sugar on the French TV show Le Petit Journal.
