Big Girl

"Big Girl" is a single by British recording artist Bette.

Background
After announcing her self-titled debut album, Bette released a promo single, entitled "You'll Get What You Deserve" in preparation for the album, swiftly followed by the announcement of "Big Girl" as the second official single. A Charlotte Moore production, the song draws heavily from 1980s pop productions such as Wilson Phillips, and Narada Michael Walden, creating an uplifting, bombastic pop single. Critics praised the single's retro sound, as well as its unashamedly positive lyrics, encouraging a young friend to dump her unfit boyfriend.

Music Video
The music video for "Big Girl", directed by Joseph Kahn, is a fusion of the concepts for Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" and the rooftop dance scene from West Side Story. After Bette is stood up by her boyfriend, her friends commiserate at a diner, before heading to the rooftop to have a dance-off with Bette's boyfriend's friends.
