"Of the Girl" belongs to Stone Gossard from the ground up: he wrote both the music and the words for this track on Binaural, the sixth studio album Pearl Jam released on Epic on May 16, 2000, and Eddie Vedder sings it. Tchad Blake produced it with the band and mixed it, Matt Bayles engineered, and Vedder, Gossard and Mike McCready all play guitar over Jeff Ament's bass and Matt Cameron's drums.
Binaural was Cameron's first album with the band; the former Soundgarden drummer had taken over from Jack Irons on the Yield tour in 1998. The sessions, which got going toward the end of 1999, were dogged by setbacks, Vedder's writer's block among them, and the record that came out of them leaned experimental and atmospheric, heavy on somber themes.
