Where Them Girls At is a song by the French DJ David Guetta in a collaboration with the American rapper Flo Rida and the rapper Nicki Minaj . On May 2, 2011, the song was released as the first single from Guetta's fifth album Nothing but the Beat .
background
In an interview with MTV News in March 2011, Guetta stated that two songs from his fifth album were available for release as the first single: Little Bad Girl with Taio Cruz and Ludacris and Where Them Girls At . An a cappella version of the song was already on the Internet before it was published . As a result, Guetta released the song earlier than planned and without a promotion as a single. Flo Rida took part again with Guetta on his song Where Them Girls At due to the great success of Club Can't Handle Me . Nicki Minaj was asked by Guetta and she got involved in the rap of the song after hearing a demo version of the song. A music video containing a "positive message" was shot in May 2011 in Los Angeles , California .
