"Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon" is a song written by Neil Diamond, whose recording of it on Bang Records reached number 10 on the US pop singles chart in 1967. The song enjoyed a second life when it appeared on the 1994 Pulp Fiction soundtrack, performed by rock band Urge Overkill. Other versions have been recorded by Cliff Richard (1968), Jackie Edwards (1968), the Biddu Orchestra (1978), and 16 Volt (1998).
The song first appeared on Diamond's album Just for You. The mono and stereo versions of this song differ slightly. On the mono "Just For You" LP as well as on the 45, the strings do not come in until the second verse. It also has a slightly longer fade. The stereo "Just For You" LP version has a shorter fade and the strings come in on the first chorus.
Cliff Richard covered the song as the B-side to his 1968 single I'll Love You Forever Today, which featured in the movie Two a Penny.
The 1992 Urge Overkill EP Stull includes a version of the song that would be featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film Pulp Fiction. Re-issued as a single, this version achieved success in several European countries, peaking at #10 in France.
