"Your Girl" is a song recorded by American singer Mariah Carey for her tenth studio album, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005).

Influenced by disco, gospel, jazz, pop, and soul, the music drew comparisons with works by rapper Kanye West.

Regretful that it was not issued as a single from the album, Carey later released two remixes featuring rappers Cam'ron, Juelz Santana, and N.O.R.E as part of a 2021 digital extended play.

Following the commercial and critical disappointments of her album Glitter (2001), American singer Mariah Carey opted to join the Island Def Jam record label and released Charmbracelet (2002).

[1] According to her, she intended to move on from singing elaborate ballads and instead create simpler and authentic compositions for its follow-up, The Emancipation of Mimi (2005).

[6] According to Chris Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter, the song is a deep cut on the album in contrast to the commercially successful "We Belong Together", "Shake It Off", and "Say Somethin'".

[17] Scram Jones obtained clearance after performing at a party for Dawn Raid Entertainment, the record label to which Adeaze were signed.

[22][21] Carey further expresses this confidence with lines like "I'm gonna make you want to get with me tonight"[20] and assures him she will "put naughty thoughts into your mind".

[25] Guy Blackman of The Sunday Age felt it has a "down-tempo disco feel",[26] and Sal Cinequemani of Slant Magazine said it draws from the Motown sound.

[27] Slezak stated the chorus contains gospel influences;[6] The Jakarta Post's Tony Hotland thought jazz and soul elements were present.

[13] Joey Guerra likened "Your Girl" to a retro soul record in the Houston Chronicle[28] and Nick Marino called it "a simple old-school jam" in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

[1] Todd Burns of Stylus Magazine also thought the production was influenced by West,[30] and BBC Music writer Adam Webb viewed it as a revision of the "classic soul sound" common in Carey's previous work.

[30] Andy Gill of The Independent said Carey's vocals were so histrionic as to make her "almost as bad as all the Pop Idol wannabes that reflect her disastrous influence".
