text: # Some Girls (Belouis Some song)
  
  "Some Girls" is a song by British singer and songwriter Belouis Some, released in 1988 as the third and final single from his second studio album Belouis Some. It was written by Belouis Some and Carlos Alomar, and produced by Gary Langan and Guy Fletcher (associate producer). "Some Girls" reached No. 76 in the UK and remained in the charts for four weeks. A music video, filmed in Milan, was produced to promote the video.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  On its release, Colin Irwin of Number One gave the song two out of five stars, and stated, "Poor ol' Belouis never did quite crack it, did he? Somehow he always seemed to be trying just that little bit too hard. This time around? Not with this slightly irritating whiney effort, methinks." Tim Nicholson of Record Mirror wrote, "I've never been able to get up much enthusiasm for Mr Some, but when I saw the title of his new single my heart started beating a little faster. Could it possibly be an inspired cover of Racey's classic Seventies hit? But then I played it. Not only is it not the song in question, but it probably doesn't even remember Racey it's so 'modern'."
  
  Music & Media wrote, "Since the excellent 'Imagination' Belouis has been struggling to come up with something of the same calibre. This time he comes closer than previously with a bittersweet number that could do much to restore his flagging reputation." John Lee of the Huddersfield Daily Examiner commented, "The man seemingly destined never to make it big is at it again with a pleasing piece of delicately-crafted airplay material. Will this be the one?" In a review of Belouis Some, Scott Benarde of The Palm Beach Post described the song as a "somber ballad".
