"What Them Girls Like" is the first single from American rapper Ludacris' sixth studio album Theater of the Mind. The single features American singers Chris Brown and Sean Garrett, who produced the song alongside Rodney Jerkins.
AllMusic editor David Jeffries called this song "completely unsurprising, with a rock-solid hook." Ken Copabianco described the song: "His sex talk is good-natured and slyly insightful about love". XXL wrote a mixed review: "Elsewhere, heâÂÂs just straight reachingâÂÂâÂÂWhat Them Girls Like,â for instance, where, despite taking a cue from 2000âÂÂs Mel Gibson chick flick What Women Want, thereâÂÂs no real solid connection established between the film and the actual song."
The music video premiered on Yahoo Music on September 11. The video takes cues from the film What Women Want. The music video premiered on BET and later appeared at number 80 on the Notarized: Top 100 Videos of 2008 countdown. Comfort Fedoke, DeRay Davis, Tyrese Gibson, Teairra Mari, Kristia Krueger, Suelyn Medeiros, Amber Rose, Joe and Gavin Maloof, and La La Anthony made cameo appearances in the video. There is a 40-second intro before the music starts in the video.
