"One of the Girls" is a song by Canadian singer the Weeknd, South Korean singer and rapper Jennie, and French-American actress and singer Lily-Rose Depp. It was released on December 8, 2023, through XO and Republic Records, as the first single from The Idol Episode 4 (Music from the HBO Original Series) (2023), an EP of music from the fourth episode of the HBO television series The Idol, which stars the three singers. The song was also included on the 2024 deluxe version of the Weeknd's greatest hits album The Highlights (2021). It is a synth-driven R&B song whose lyrics relate to the storyline of The Idol.
"One of the Girls" received a mixed reception from critics, who praised the vocals, seductive feel, and production, but criticized the explicit lyrics. A sleeper hit, it saw a surge in popularity after going viral on video sharing platform TikTok and subsequently peaked at number ten on the Billboard Global 200, becoming the Weeknd's 11th, Jennie's second, and Depp's first top-ten hit. The song reached number one in Malaysia and the top ten in Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, MENA, Singapore, UAE, and Vietnam. In the United States, it became the highest-charting song by a female K-pop soloist on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 51, and the first to be certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It ranked as the seventh most-streamed song of the first half of 2024 with 860 million streams worldwide according to Luminate. The Weeknd performed "One of the Girls" on the After Hours til Dawn Tour as well as his Spotify Billions Club Live concert.

Critical reception
The song was met with mixed reviews from music critics. Filmfare praised the production and vocals of "One of the Girls", stating that the song has a "seductive feel with subtle synths, powerful bass, and an impressive trap style that complements the lyrics." Additionally, they opined that the Weeknd's signature voice "compliments Jennie's breathy vocals and Lily-Rose Depp's rich and lovely voice."{{cite magazine|url=https://m.filmfare.com/news/hollywood/the-idols-one-of-the-girls-blackpinks-jennie-the-weeknd-and-lily-rose-depp-drop-a-seductive-song-59359.amp|title=The Idol's One of the Girls: BLACKPINK's Jennie, The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp drop a seductive song|magazine=Filmfare|date=June 23, 2023|access-date=June 23, 2023|archive-date=June 29, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230629172135/https://m.filmfare.com/news/hollywood/the-idols-one-of-the-girls-blackpinks-jennie-the-weeknd-and-lily-rose-depp-drop-a-seductive-song-59359.amp|url-status=live}} Steffanee Wang of Nylon described the beat as "decadently plush" and noted that the explicit lyrics work better in the context of music rather than in the show. On the vocals, she found that "the different tones of their voices weave harmoniously like a braid" and in particular praised Jennie for highlighting her voice in a different context with her first foray into R&B, saying the song is "the most sensual, desperate, and emotive she’s ever sounded."{{cite web|url=https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/blackpink-jennie-one-of-the-girls-the-idol-review|title=Blackpink's Jennie Shines On Her Song For 'The Idol'|website=Nylon|first=Steffanee|last=Wang|date=June 23, 2023|access-date=June 23, 2023|archive-date=June 24, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230624000647/https://www.nylon.com/entertainment/blackpink-jennie-one-of-the-girls-the-idol-review|url-status=live}} However, Zoe Guy of Vulture criticized the song's "eyebrow-scratching lyrics", arguing that it "manages to commit the carnal sin of making sex boring."
