It appears on the EP For You. The song was only released in Japan as a commercial single, especially for discos and clubs, where it was marketed as a Eurobeat track. Song historyDuring Luv's heyday (1977–1981), the female pop act failed in its attempt to get a hit record in Japan, whereas it dominated the music charts in a large part of Continental Europe, South Africa and Mexico. In 1980, the trio planned to take part in the Yamaha Music Festival but cancelled its participation to this competition.[1] It prevented indeed Luv' from reaching the mainstream Japanese music market. A decade later, as the Dutch vocal formation made its comeback with a different line-up, it tried to promote new material (produced by Nigel Wright) through the network of discos and clubs in the Asian archipelago. That's why, Luv's record company decided to release the song Girl Like Me as a Maxi single, hoping to have a club hit and later a mainstream chart topper. It was promoted as a Eurobeat song (this style of music was very popular back then in Japan). It also was included on Japanese Various Artists Eurobeat compilations.[2] However, this strategy to adapt the Japanese market didn't succeed. Nowadays, this single is a rare collector item among Luv's fans. The music arrangements of this song were inspired by those of the hits composed by Stock Aitken Waterman, the successful British producers in the late 1980s. Track listings and formats
