Music sample Not That Kinda Girl

"Not That Kinda Girl" is a song by American singer JoJo from her self-titled debut album, JoJo (2004). It was written by Neely Dinkins, B. Cola Pietro, Balewa Muhammad, and Sylvester Jordan, Jr., and released in February 2005 as the album's third and final single. "Not That Kinda Girl" was not commercially released in the United States and therefore failed to chart there, as well as many other countries, though it did manage to reach number fifty-two in Australia and number eighty-five in Germany. It also missed the chart in the United Kingdom.

Music video

The music video was directed by the team of Eric Williams and Randy Marshall, known as Fat Cats, and was shot in Los Angeles. It premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on March 24, 2005. It spent only four days on the countdown and did not climb higher than number eight. The concept follows the topic of the song in playing up the glamorous lifestyle of a celebrity while making a statement against the shallowness of materialism. The video is known for having several cameos including Laurie Ann Gibson from MTV's Making the Band. JoJo is shown sitting in a limousine and being hounded by paparazzi. At the beginning of the video, her limo is passing 4333 W. Sunset Boulevard, the site of Solutions' Audio-Video-Speaker Repair store whose front mural was used as the cover to Elliot Smith's album Figure 8, and currently a memorial. A Maynard James Keenan lookalike also appears at 0:48 seconds into the video.
