"Girls Like You" is a song recorded by American band Maroon 5, from their sixth studio album Red Pill Blues (2017). A remix version was released by 222 and Interscope Records, as the album's third single on May 30, 2018,[1] featuring American rapper Cardi B. This version was written by Adam Levine, Cirkut, Cardi B, Starrah, Jason Evigan and Gian Stone and was produced by Cirkut and Evigan. The single has reached a peak of number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the second top 10 entry from the album, Maroon 5's 14th and Cardi B's sixth top-ten single overall. With "Girls Like You" following "I Like It" at the top of Radio Songs, Cardi B became the first female rapper to ever replace herself at number one on that chart.[2]

However, when the band unveiled the tracklist of their sixth album Red Pill Blues on October 4, 2017[5] and the two songs "Don't Wanna Know" and "Cold' are later revealed as stand-alone singles and was featured on the album's deluxe edition.[6] Only "What Lovers Do", served as the album's lead single.

"Girls Like You" was revealed as the ninth track on Red Pill Blues via Apple Music.[7] It was announced as the third official single from the album, following the song "Wait".[8]
