It’s finally here: the Rita Ora-led summer anthem ‘Girls’ has arrived and it is glorious.

The ‘Anywhere’ diva teams up with Charli XCX, Bebe Rexha and Cardi B for the massive tune, which is a major Song of the Summer contender.

‘Girls’ is a breezy, flirtatious dose of pop perfection, featuring one of the catchiest choruses in recent memory and an effortlessly killer energy between the four artists.

WATCH CARDI B AND BRUNO MARS' 'FINESSE' VIDEO BELOW...

View the lyrics
Drop top Porsche (Porsche), Rollie' on my wrist (wrist)
Diamonds up and down my chain (aha)
Cardi B, straight stuntin', can't tell me nothin'
Bossed up and I changed the game (you see me?)
It's my big Bronx boogie, got all them girls shook (shook)
My big, fat ass got all them boys hooked (hooked)
I went from dollar bills, now we poppin' rubber bands (ha)
Bruno sang to me, while I do my money dance like ayy
Flexin' on the 'Gram like ayy
Hit the Lil' Jon, okay (okay), okay (okay)
Oh yeah, we drippin' in finesse and getting paid, ow

Ooh, don't we look good together?
There's a reason why they watch all night long (all night long)
Yeah, I know we'll turn heads forever (forever)
So tonight, I'm gonna show you off

When I'm walkin' with you
I watch the whole room change
Baby, that's what you do
No, my baby, don't play
Blame it on my confidence
Oh, blame it on your measurements
Shut that shit down on sight
That's right

We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it

Now slow it down for me, baby (slow it down now)
'Cause I love the way it feels when we grind (we grind)
Yeah, our connection's so magnetic on the floor
Nothing can stop us tonight

When I'm walkin' with you
I watch the whole room change
Baby, that's what you do
No, my baby, don't play
Blame it on my confidence
Oh, blame it on your measurements
Shut that shit down on sight
That's right

We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it

Fellas, grab your ladies if your lady fine
Tell her she the one, she the one for life (woo)
Ladies, grab your fellas and let's do this right (do this right)
If you're on one like me in mind (ow!)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Don't it feel so good to be us? (ayy)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on (yeah)
Girl, we got it goin' on
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on (hey)
Don't it feel so good to be us, ayy? (feels so good on you)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on

We out here drippin' in finesse (we drippin' on them)
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
We out here drippin' in finesse with my baby
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it (yeah, you know we got it goin' on)

Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Don't it feel so good to be us, ayy?
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
You know it, you know it
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Girl, we got it
Don't it feel so good to be us, ayy?
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
You know it, you know it

Hide the lyrics

The sapphic bop has Rita, Charli, Bebe and Cardi confessing their love for getting down with girls (yes!), adding another banger to the ever-growing #20GAYTEEN playlist.

"Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls / Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls," they sing on the stadium-ready chorus before Cardi elaborates with a hilariously cheeky verse.

The 'I Like It' rapper closes out her epic verse with an invitation to Rita and Miss XCX, saying "Tonight, I don't want a dog, I want a kitten (meow) / I might French a girl from Great Britain." Oww, indeed!

We first heard 'Girls' last year when Rita and Charli debuted the track at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend with RAYE, and have been waiting ever since for its official release.

Speaking to Capital FM today, Rita revealed that the song was never intended to be a single until she saw the response from fans after that performance, before stating that Cardi was the first feature on the song.

"I got Cardi on the song about a year and a half ago [...] and then I got Charli and then I got Bebe, and it really naturally became this song of girls that I really love and inspire me."

Describing it as her "dream collaboration", we think we need to agree because 'Girls' is an absolute monster of a song and we are completely obsessed with it.

Bring on the music video, queens!
