"This is the Girl" was the first single from British rapper Kano's second studio album London Town and the first from British singer Craig David's fourth studio album Trust Me. The song was released in 2007 and reached its peak of number 18 in the UK charts on 18 September 2007. The song samples lyrics from Jay Z's song "Big Pimpin'", which Jay Z says, "Under the canopy, my stamina be enough for Pamela Anderson Lee", which Kano says instead, "Under the canopy, my stamina be enough for Angelina Jolie".
