"Good Girl" is a song by American recording artist Alexis Jordan, taken from her self-titled debut album. It was released as the album's second single on February 18, 2011. The dance-pop song was written by Autumn Rowe, Stargate, Sandy Vee and Espionage, and it was produced by Stargate and Sandy Vee. Jordan has said the song is a "girl’s anthem" about how "you can better yourself, even if your past isn’t as good as your present." "Good Girl" debuted at number six in the United Kingdom, and charted at number fifteen in Ireland. In the United States, the song peaked at the top of the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Critical reception

Nick Levine of Digital Spy awarded the song four out of five stars, and wrote "Call us naive, but with beats this struttable, verses so irresistibly bop-friendly and that, ahem, killer chorus, who wouldn't want to take a chance on her?"

On February 24, 2011 "Good Girl" debuted at number eighteen in Ireland, and has since peaked at number fifteen. In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number six for the week ending date March 5, 2011, becoming Jordan's second top-ten single in the UK. In the United States, the song debuted at number fourteen on BillboardШаблон:'s Hot Dance Club Songs chart on the issue dated March 19, 2011.

Music video

The music video was directed by Erik White, it premiered on 25 January 2011 and was filmed late in December 2010. The video commences with Jordan walking down a street wearing sunglasses, which is followed by the first scene in which Jordan begins to sing. The singer is shown dancing in an eccentrically choreographed scene; one of which is with her backup dancers, and the other, which was with a male dancer Hefa Leone Tuita, in which Jordan and the male dancer were dancing in sync. Scenes also included Jordan dressed as a high-school girl eating an apple, and Jordan wearing an outfit consisting of PVC on a motorbike chewing bubble-gum. The video ends with screen-shots from different scenes in the video, followed by Jordan ruffling her hair, in which the camera zooms out and the text reads "ALEXIS JORDAN".
