Music
"Just a Girl" is a moderately fast song at 110 beats per minute and is written in the key of D major. Like the majority of popular music, it is set in common time. The voice of the singer, Gwen Stefani, spans nearly an octave and a half, from B3 to E5 in scientific pitch notation. The opening riff that Dumont uses was taken from an earlier effort by keyboardist Eric Stefani. The song is heavily influenced by New Wave music, using synth noise from a Roland Jupiter-8, '80s keyboards and effects, and retro sounds.
