"Girls on Top" is a song by English–Dutch girl group Girl Thing. It was released on 30 October 2000 in Australia and on 6 November 2000 in the United Kingdom as the second single from their self-titled debut studio album (2001). Despite previous single "Last One Standing" peaking at number eight on the UK Singles Chart, "Girls on Top" charted at number 25, resulting in the group being dropped by their record label and their album not being released in the UK.
