Overview

The album is half instrumental and was mostly co-written by Eric Stewart and then 10cc keyboardist Duncan Mackay. It was recorded during the time of recording of the 10cc's seventh studio album Look Hear? and features contributions from all of the other then 10cc members. The song "Make the Pieces Fit" was originally intended for Look Hear? but was eventually included on Girls.[1] An alternate version of the song "Make the Pieces Fit" was later included on the Stewart's next solo album Frooty Rooties.

"Girls" and "Warm, Warm, Warm" were released as singles. Neither the album nor the singles managed to chart in the Stewart's native UK, however the album charted in Norway.
