"10 Freaky Girls" is a song by American record producer Metro Boomin featuring Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage. It was released on November 2, 2018 as a track from Metro Boomin's debut studio album Not All Heroes Wear Capes (2018). The song contains a sample of "Are You the Woman" by Kashif and Whitney Houston. [1]
The song's instrumental contains trumpets, while the sample provides vocals, harmonica, strings, and synths. [1] [2] In the outro of the song, the harmonica plays and 21 Savage tells of an encounter with someone he had previously robbed who was unexpectedly happy to see him. [3] [4]
A music video for the song was directed by Zac Facts and released on January 22, 2019. The video opens with a woman in a liquor store. Metro Boomin is then seen playing the harmonica, while another woman takes a bath in marshmallows. [5] Throughout the video, 21 Savage raps in a dark room, surrounded by women while explosions occasionally appear in the background. [6] The woman in the liquor store takes MDMA in one scene. [5] A classic wood-sided station wagon also appears as a center of attention. [2] The video ends with Savage wearing pajamas and telling his anecdote to women in satin pajamas, and a marching band appears in the last scene. [7]
