"Being a Girl" (or "Being a Girl (Part One)") is a song by the Englishalternative rock band Mansun. The song was written by band-leader Paul Draper. It was recorded and produced by Paul Draper and Mark 'Spike' Stent with additional production by Mike Hunter during sessions for the group's second studio album. The song was reduced to its opening two minutes and released as the second single in 1998 from the group's second album, Six. The song's pop-punk sound was a departure from the group's recent hits and went on to become their seventh consecutive top UK top twenty hit peaking at #13.[1] Part Two's experimental rock sound is more representative of the parent album as a whole.
