Musically, "Just a Girl" is a new wave song with sarcastic lyrics. It was described by Stephen Thomas Erlewine as a "pseudo-new wave" track. In addition, the song takes influence from pop and ska music, implying a "spacey" sound to the listener. Susan Christian Goulding from "Orange Coast" compared Stefani's vocals to both Cyndi Lauper and cartoon character Minnie Mouse; she also described "Just a Girl" as the "flip-side" of Lauper's 1983 single "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Stefani sings in a "smoky alto" vocal range with dramatic "pouts and simpering" in order to exemplify her irritation with sexism in the music industry.
Just a Girl | Composition and lyrics
The title of the song itself serves as a "sarcastic rebuke to the helpless-female cliche". Josh Tyrangiel from "Time" felt Stefani sang with a "hyperactive ball of energy" in "Just a Girl". According to Musicnotes.com, "Just a Girl" is set in common time and has a fast tempo of 184 beats per minute. The key of the song is in D major, with Stefani's vocal range spanning nearly an octave and a half, from B to E in scientific pitch notation. The song progresses in the chord progressions of Bm–A–D–A in the verses and Bm–A–G–A in the chorus. According to the liner notes for No Doubt's 2003 greatest hits album, "The Singles 1992–2003", the opening riff that Dumont uses for "Just a Girl" was taken from an earlier demo created by Eric Stefani.
Just a Girl | Composition and lyrics
Lyrically, the song is written from the perspective of a girl who is frustrated with her parents. Inspiration for the songwriting came to Stefani when driving home from Kanal's house: "I can remember thinking, 'Wow, I'm in the car right now, I'm driving home, it's like one in the morning and if something did happen to me, I'm vulnerable because I'm a girl.' And you start to think, 'Wow, maybe people actually look at me different because I am a female'." Other themes of "Just a Girl" display Stefani's exasperation over stereotypical female portrayals; Stefani sings: "Don't you think I know exactly where I stand? / This world is forcing me to hold your hand".

Stefani's aim at a male-centric world ended up being one of the most prominent feminist anthems of the '90s—it's a song that stands out now as the music industry's misogynistic outlook continues on.Stefani's sarcasm for a lack of equality made "Just a Girl" one of the catchiest feminist anthems of the '90s.

After Schlesinger's passing, Tom Breihan at Stereogum described the song as a "processed, professional, infectious teen-longing jam that evoked the Cars and Ashlee Simpson at the same time." Evan Sawdey from PopMatters similarly viewed the track as full of hooks but cringe-inducing all the same.

Contemporary critics described "Just a Girl" as No Doubt's breakthrough single. It was also considered a major contribution to the success of "Tragic Kingdom".

Hey Boy Hey Girl | Introduction
A girl is a young female human, usually a child or an adolescent. When she becomes an adult, she is described as a woman. The term "girl" may also be used to mean a "young woman", and is sometimes used as a synonym for "daughter". "Girl" may also be a term of endearment used by an adult, usually a woman, to designate adult female friends. The treatment and status of girls in any society is usually closely related to the status of women in that culture. In cultures where women have a low societal position, girls may be unwanted by their parents, and the state may invest less in services for girls.
Girl | Introduction
In the first chorus, my girl actually shushes her man! But because a true diva knows the importance of restraint, she doesn't repeat that shushing until the very end of the song. Twice is enough, y'all. She has made her point. And besides, that frees her up to growl like a wounded love tiger."

"Just An Old Fashioned Girl" became a cornerstone of Eartha Kitt's stage act, as her popularity developed around the world at the same time as her novel and provocative image became less of an attraction to US audiences. It became her signature tune in Britain, so much so that it is prominently mentioned in "The Cycling Tour," a Series 3 episode of "Monty Python's Flying Circus". Some of the song's lyrics have been included in directories of quotations: I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mindNot sophisticated, I'm the sweet and simple kindI want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fenceAnd an old fashioned millionaire.
